    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    In other words, the claim made by supporters of "Believer's Baptism" is negated. The fact that an adult is shown in Scripture as being baptized does not mean that children were excluded from the sacrament. It only means that the person being referred to, as an example of the many who were...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    So you are, of necessity, referring to adults. Of course, that is the target audience for the first century evangelists. There is no doubt about that. It doesn't mean there were no people other than these to baptize. However, the word of God does refer to whole households being baptized on the...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Yes. Now address the point I made about how Evangelists must have gone about making converts or spreading the Gospel in the early days of Christianity. No, I think that the people being discussed there were adults, but that doesn't mean that their children were not also being baptized. As for...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    All right. But if so, you cannot use the same argument to discount the Bible verses that traditional Christianity refers to when explaining the policy of baptizing without any age requirement.

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    That most likely was the norm, yes, but that's not the issue here. It's whether baptizing small children is authorized by Scripture and whether or not the several Bible passages which describe entire households being baptized on the confession of the head of the household are to be believed...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    So you're doing what you say is wrong to do--inferring.

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    The issue isn't that but, instead, it's whether it is permissible or right to baptize infants. That's more than just an inference. Households include children. At that time and place in history, a large household that didn't have a children of any age would be a rarity, so there's really not...

    Why did Christ found a church?

    You might make that case, I suppose. Is that what you've been doing?

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Fine, but you still rejected the Roman Catholic Church's teaching concerning the effects of baptism when you posted your own theory: "Infants have no sun [sin?] to repent of so it don’t apply to infants." And you did list yourself as a Catholic on your personal profile.

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    It's traditionally been called "Original Sin," and that is what your church believes is one kind of sin, along with "Actual Sin," i.e. those that we commit, either by intention or neglect. There is no question about your church believing that baptism removes/forgives sin. Therefore, and by...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    In this case, I was reacting to this statement of yours-- "Infants have no sun [sin?] to repent of so it don’t apply to infants"

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    What exactly is it that makes you so loyal to the Catholic Church, considering that you disagree with her on doctrine after doctrine? :unsure:

    Ten Things You Hate that Most Like

    Last year? Could be that you are right about that; I just didn't think those particular items ranked that highly.

    Ten Things You Hate that Most Like

    Since "that most (people) like" is part of the question, do you think 2, 3, and maybe 7 are all that popular with other people?

    Ten Things You Hate that Most Like

    I agree on 2, 3, 7, and 9. Good list, though.

    Mary

    I agree. But if he belongs to a rival ecclesiastical organization/denomination--one that the Church of Rome does not recognize--he is saying that his own church is as much an heir of Jesus' promises made to Peter as scads of other denominations insist is true about themselves. And that includes...

    Mary

    Hmmm. I didn't catch that information when it showed up. But am I correct now in thinking that he's been claiming the Catholic Church is the one and only, etc. and yet belongs to another denomination instead? How messed up is that?

    Mary

    Okay already. We get that you're a Roman Catholic! But continuously telling everyone that you believe whatever the RCC teaches isn't saying anything that helps the discussions here. Doing what you do may be necessary in order to bolster your own faith, but it adds nothing new here and doesn't...

    5 Causes of the Protestant Reformation (besides indulgences)

    John 10:16 says exactly what you are denying. Jesus will gather his sheep and they will be in one church--the whole of the believers in Christ. That's what you've been told by others here--not your denomination vs Luther's denomination vs. someone else's denomination, but one following that...
