Circumcision was entrance into the Covenant, my ignorant friend.The covenant is with the founder..Abraham.
God does not do millions and millions of individual covenants, as you are assuming.
The Jews just partook of the lone covenant.
Wrong again.I didn’t say don’t look here.....I said Protestants AND The Church.but your doing it again, it wasnt us, it was the Prots.
look over there . . .dont look here.
im a baptist descended from Prots, they killed lots of people like i already said in the Ireland comment. now how hard was that?
Circumcision was entrance into the Covenant. Individuals get circumcised....not all Jews since some are womenThe covenant is with the founder..Abraham.

Baptists are Protestants....
I don’t recall your “Ireland comment “ but I trust that you said it
very uglysome of the worsts atrocities were carried out in Ireland. when the Irish were starving the Prot missionaries would offer them soup, but only if they converted. if they refused these "men of G-D" would have no problem watching them starve to death.
6:3-4). Water is simply the tangible means that God uses.
Babies are innocent, baptized or not. Sin is an action that can only take place with understanding of right from wrong. Baptizing a baby doesn't guarantee he will be a believer. Circumcisism, like baptism, was a symbol. Circumcision of the penis never really promised a righteous position in God’s eyes, but was just a symbol which demonstrated the need for our love, faith, and dependance in God.What is a Covenant? It is a BINDING agreement between 2 or more parties.
Tell me something, Eainstein - how did an 8-day-old baby enter into a Covenant by being circumcised?
Acts 2:38.
Luther and Calvin both still had some very Catholic leanings, yes. Doesn't mean they were correct.Both Luther and Calvin, 2 primary founders of Protestantism, baptized infants. My question to objectors is: "Who was the first reformer to reform the former reformists?" And why it was never an issue for another 100 years?

Circumcision for their babies was an adult kept sign that the Jewish adults obeyed per being included in the Abrahamic covenant.Circumcision was entrance into the Covenant, my ignorant friend.
I didn't think you'd have an intelligent response . . .
The Jews as a nation were keeping the Abrahamic covenant per circumcision of baby boys.Circumcision was entrance into the Covenant. Individuals get circumcised....not all Jews since some are women
Is that what Peter said here?...Repent and be baptized? In the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit
I did.
I found out the Catholics are supervised by Rome.
The Roman Catholic Church is the RCC.
Your boss sits on a throne in Rome, not heaven.
Is that what Peter said here?...
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Why did Peter say this?
Who would you rather obey...Peter or Jesus?
Or, what was Acts 2:38 REALLY telling us???
Jesus said to Peter "thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it"
He said nothing about a succession, He did not say "and upon thy successors" thus the supposed unbroken chain breaks down at the first link because we have no record whatever of the primacy passing from Peter to anybody else.
A rock by definition is a immovable, irreplaceable, unchangeable foundation. Any body therefore who will be built upon this rock must have the same testimony as Peter, believe the same doctrines, follow the same traditions.
By this we see how far the Roman church has drifted from the true church.
Catholics must own up and take the blame for the schism of the 16th century. How could they have sunk so low as to sell forgiveness of sins for money?
If they had listened to Francis Assisi they would not have had to listen to Martin Luther.
Please show me that teaching. She will help you out: The Holy SeeThe Jews as a nation were keeping the Abrahamic covenant per circumcision of baby boys.
The RCC teaches circumcision is individualistic, not nationalistic.
This means the RCC baby girls need not be baptized.
