ABOUT BAPTISM

[BreadOfLife]

Just that Peter says all believers are priests.

Since you seem to have a real problem reading - I'll post it again and make the font larger . . .

EVERY SINGLE OT Type has an NT Fulfillment – without exception.

In the Old Testament, there were three levels of Priests:
1. Aaron, the High Priest
2. The Levitical/Ministerial Priesthood
3. The rest of the people were a general priesthood of believers.

In the New Testament, there are also three levels of Priests:
1. Jesus, our High Priest (1 Tim. 2:5, Heb. 7:22-25),
2. The Ministerial Priests (James 5:14-15)
3. The general priesthood of all Christians (1 Peter 2:5-9).

Which means "church" appointed priests are frauds.

He fulfilled them and replaced them with the New Covenant.

He never ABOLISHED it.
BIG difference.

John 3:5 is a fulfillment of Isaiah 35:25-27 - and speaks of WATER and SPIRIT.
You've LOST this argument . . .

What means "church"??
What are you talking about??

Where is your Biblical basis for that??

Institutional churches are not found in the NT nor is priest-craft. Nor is baptism by sprinkling, or infant baptism, or the Papacy, and other rituals people falsely believe in.

The Ten Commandments were the Old Covenant replaced by the New.

Dave, Luther and Calvin, the pillars of reformed Protestantism, architects of sola scriptura, both baptized infants.
You should be correcting them.

This is why I avoid them like the plague. But borrow from them where it counts.

Did you actually READ what you just posted??

The Commandments were REPLACED??
When??

Please show me where.

You cherry-pick your Protestant Fathers just like you cherry-pick the Scriptures.

The Ten Commandments were the Old Covenant. Jeremiah said the New Covenant would replace them.

I'm not a Protestant. I am independent of all denominations.

This is the language of bible Christian hate cults. Shot gunning with 4-5 topics is the tactic of a loser. Almost everything about the you have been told or read about the Catholic Church is false, and everything that is true in your beliefs came from the Catholic Church.
An institutional church is defined as being overseen by a qualified bishop. Your definition of institutional church is dreamed up by anti-authority groups trying to justify their late arrival. That's why they re-write church history and have no use for the Early Church Fathers.

You haven't any biblical support for claims.

Then "fraud priests" would have been recorded somewhere, like the heretics Arius, Nestorius, Apollinarius and legions of other heretics. All recorded. But even your reference manuals don't list the names of your alleged "fraud priests". Neither do you. You are making up falsehoods as you go along.

I don't respond to cluster bombing / shot gun tactics. You have no biblical support for using scripture to attack the Church. The Bible never does that. You do it because it is a man made tradition.

If you are a Trinitarian Christian and you are neither a Catholic nor an Orthodox Christian - then you are a Protestant by definition.

No - YOU haven't any Biblical support for YOUR asinine claim that Catholic Priests are "frauds" . . .

Show me where Jeremiah said that the Ten Commandments would be abolished and/or replaced by the New Covenant.
Chapter and Verse, please . . .

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant With the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand To bring them out of the land of Egypt; Which my covenant they brake, Although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, And write it in their hearts; And will be their God, And they shall be my people.” (Jeremiah 31:31–33) (KJV 1900)
