    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Why were you infant baptized? What purpose did it serve? If "it worked on infants" why would it not work on adults? In that case we could just force, even at gunpoint, to be baptized and solve the whole problem of the lost.

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Only in the fact that all in Adam, i.e., all men, have sinned (Rom 5:12). However, I do believe that 1 Corinthians 15:22 is speaking of physical death and the resurrection. And physical death is a fact of creation. There is nothing in this physical creation that is immortal. All living...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    The ability to work miracles such as speaking in tongues and prophesying does not come from the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Baptism of the Holy Spirit results in the indwelling Holy Spirit. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a promise to all penitent believers who are baptized in the name of...

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    The consequences of eating the forbidden fruit in the garden was not physical death; rather it was spiritual death and being ejected from the garden. The reason that Adam was ejected from the garden was to keep him from being able to eat the fruit of the tree of life which prevented physical...

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    To be in Adam is to be living physical human being. Everything physical dies. To be in Christ is to be living spiritual being. Everything spiritual lives. ! Corinthians 15:21-22 is speaking of the resurrection. We die a physical being, we are raised, resurrected, a spiritual being. That has...

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    My response to anyone who says, "God told me...." is "God told me to ignore you".

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    That was directed specifically to the twelve, not to you, not to me or anyone else.

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    The spirit of man comes from God. Original sin, the imputation of Adam's sin unto all mankind, makes God the creator and giver of a spirit dead in sin. Then it is not sin. 1Jn 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. Lawlessness is disobedience...

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Wrong, but since you continue to blame God for your sins, so be it. There is so much rhetoric about "the fall". It is really odd that those words, that phrase, that concept occurs in the Bible. It is man-made.

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    True. False. The Soul Who Sins Shall Die Eze 18:1 The word of the LORD came to me: Eze 18:2 "What do you mean by repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge'? Eze 18:3 As I live, declares the Lord...

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Romans 5:12 --- ...so death spread to all men because all sinned--

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Nah, God's word told me that they were born sinless. The one who believes that a person is a sinner from birth doesn't truly understand what sin is and therefore doesn't understand what it means to be "born again". Moreover to believe in original sin is to hold an appalling and heretical view...

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    No, it was not passed unto all of humanity. That is called traducinism and it is wrong; it is heresy. Sin is the contamination of the spirit. Our spirits come from God (Zech 12:1; Eccl 12:7; Heb 12:9). He does not give us a spirit contaminated with Adam's sin. The tendency to sin is not a sin.

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Nonsense! ! Well then, if that is the way you want to interpret it, the verse also says that "MANY" will be made sinners, but not all. So what does that mean. If not all, then who? Actually, Romans 5:12-19 is not talking about salvation at all. In the "as..so" construction of verses 18 and...

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Romans 5:18-19 has nothing to do with anyone believing or not believing in God. Rom 5:18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. Rom 5:19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made...

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    I believe that Adam was the first humanoid being given a human spirit by God. So yes, Adam was the first human.

    Why supporting convicted felon Trump is unchristian

    So I assume then that you won't be voting for either, yet it seems you do complain about how the nation is run. Complain but no solution. Unfortunately, opinions don't solve many problems.

    What is the affect on The Fall and The Atonement, if Adam was not the first human?

    Romans 5:18-19 actually says that the effect of Jesus' obedience was to negate completely the effect of Adam's disobedience. In other words where Adam's disobedience might have been imputed to all at birth in the form of original sin; instead, Jesus' obedience was imputed to all at birth in the...

    Why supporting convicted felon Trump is unchristian

    Thus I can only assume that you will be voting for Biden. Not sure how that is a "more Christian" thing to do.
