    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    Scripture cannot contradict Scripture. The only way to get the correct, total understanding of scripture is to combine all scripture on any given topic. Regarding salvation, you put the pieces together. Kne scripture says belief is required. Another says faith is required. Yet another says...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    If you study and follow the scriptures, its undeniable that baptism is not a sign nor serves the purpose of showing anyone anything relative to your belief, but rather us an absolute need to be saved. Mk 16:15:16 shows it's a commandment and necessity. Belief and baptism are inextricably tied...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    I don't know what point you're trying to make. Yes, part of the gospel that Philip preached to the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 obviously included the need to be baptized when he us why the eunuch asked about it being near a body of water, and the words are clear: he was told he could be baptized...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    It is 100% true and 100% scriptural. And you lack understanding of the thief on the cross issue. In simple terms, Jesus was still alive when he forgave the thief on the cross, no different than his forgiving others during his earthly ministry. His being alive means that the OT was still in...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    If you've not been immersed in water, you're not part of the body of Christ, still in sin, and not saved.

    Adultery vs Fornication

    Having SEX is marriage! Marriage: What is marriage and when do you really become married? Is it after some formal or elaborate ceremony or process, such as when a justice of the peace, ordained minister or “priest” of some church mumbles some words in front of you both while holding a bible or...

    Yes, Jesus meant TODAY in his message to the thief on the cross

    Understanding 1 Peter 3:19 (Pertinent scriptures below) Who are the "spirits in prison", in 1 Peter 3:19, and the "dead" in 1 Peter 4:6? First, you must understand the word "spirits" (pneumasin in the Greek) in 1 Peter 3:19 and the use of this word as opposed to 'soul' (psyches in the Greek)...

    Adultery vs Fornication

    That in my view is where the problem is. If you have multiple sex partners it's akin to marrying over and over again, and what is that? Sin; It's really adultery.

    Adultery vs Fornication

    What do you mean by having intent to marry yet having sex with the person? Scripturally, engaging in sexual intercourse is marrying as I've been trying to point out to you! 2 flesh becoming 1= marrying

    Adultery vs Fornication

    Didn't say or infer marital sex was immoral, just made the point that sexual intercourse is copulate in the OT. And the key on the scripture cited is not the scenario in which the word marry was used, but the fact that it was used to describe the what the act of going in into his brother's wife...

    Adultery vs Fornication

    'Copulate' which is in the OT. And there are some definitions of fornication (not scriptural) that don't limit it to unmarried individuals. Probably copulate is the appropriate term for sexual intercourse married or unmarried, but fornication is a bit of a gray area since its also copulation...

    Adultery vs Fornication

    So what is sexual intercourse called within a marriage, and on a side note but pertinent, when are you married? Is it based on man's viewpoint or God's? Are you married after a ceremony and legal paperwork being transpired, or what?

    Adultery vs Fornication

    What you described is defined as adultery. Is fornication then the same as adultery? Are the two words interchangeable? Having sex marries one person to the other. Gen 38:8 8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

    What does 'to fornicate' mean?

    Adultery vs Fornication

    Agree extra marital, but my point was relative to the term fornication which is unrelated to marriage

    Adultery vs Fornication

    Actually, fornication is the simple act of having sex; has nothing to do with being married or not as extra marital sex would be adultery.

    Adultery vs Fornication

    Adultery involves sexual intercourse wherein at least one of the individuals is already married to another person. Fornication is simply the act of engaging in sexual intercourse with another person. What becomes tricky, is what God views as being married as opposed to man's views and based...
