    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Why would I want to think about how repentance and forgiveness of sins are connected then? Haven't I already done that? Anyway, baptism is not tied to individual personal repentance. If it were then infants ought not be baptised, right? :)

    Confusion over Lutheran teaching on Salvation ... they come by it honestly

    Some say: Of Repentance. 1] Of Repentance they teach that for those who have fallen after Baptism there is remission of sins whenever they are converted 2] and that the Church ought to impart absolution to those thus returning to repentance. Now, repentance consists properly of these 3] two...

    Confusion over Lutheran teaching on Salvation ... they come by it honestly

    I am fairly sure that some very harsh words are directed at Catholic teaching and the Popes in the 1689 Baptist Confession. :P

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    I do not "want to know about forgiveness" I did not ask about it. Nevertheless no one ought to expect forgiveness without repentance. Presbyterians say: Of Repentance unto Life 1. Repentance unto life is an evangelical grace, the doctrine whereof is to be preached by every minister of the...

    Are We Saved by Grace or Decision?

    I think that the truth is that everybody in CH accepts that the faithful are saved by grace. Nobody thinks a decision made apart from grace will save anybody. This has been said many times in this and other threads. 319 posts is a lot of posts isn't it?

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    The question asked is who ought to expect forgiveness without repentance? Telling me about the cross does not answer the question. In fact it is not relevant to the question because the question asks: WHO ought to expect forgiveness WITHOUT REPENTANCE? The question is not "who receives grace?"...

    Being Christian

    I know from first hand experience - not in prison but from living in Sweden - that Scandinavian countries do have prisons like that. I imagine a search of youtube will yield the Norwegian prison guards and prisoners singing independent of Michael Moore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB037gVIpJc

    Confusion over Lutheran teaching on Salvation ... they come by it honestly

    Slogan theology - like Once Saved Always Saved - is always going to fall far short of the mark. Nobody really understands a slogan the "right" way because slogans are not really coherent. They are supposed to be short pithy summaries of some more complex thing. If Calvinism is reduced to Once...

    Confusion over Lutheran teaching on Salvation ... they come by it honestly

    I admit to rejecting Calvinism regarding its TULIP formulation of soteriology (maybe TULIP covers other things too but it appears that its theme is soteriological) and I never warmed very much to John Wesley's soteriology and now that I look at a Lutheran (Missouri synod) view of the same topic...
