    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    This has nothing to do with 'infant baptism', but rather they brought to Him their infants, that He would touch them. If believers bring their infants to an elder in church, he is to touch bless them in Jesus name, as Christ did. But denominational congregations and believers have a tendency...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Where is it written about infant baptism and the ceremony beginning with the book of Acts and onward? For every spiritually new born again of water and of the Holy Ghost new creation believer are, 'babes in Christ', or 'lambs of GOD'. To my witnessing, only the catholic church have infant...

    James and James !?

    Luke 20: 41. And He said unto them, "How say they that Christ is David's son? 42. And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, 'The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 43. Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.' 44. David therefore calleth Him Lord, how is He then his son?"...

    James and James !?

    Noted, i see your point and is written, where James is referred to as the brother of the Lord. But also want to fairly respond that when Jesus was referred to as the son of David, at one point He corrected the person, even when genealogically true. Another, when the crowd in the house informed...

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

    Since you have a 'twisted' understanding and your replies are the evidence of it, Jesus said, "You will know them by their fruit." Again your gibberish nonsense, for no Catholics taught me nor i believe in Catholicism, but the scriptures alone is the authority. True born again readers, it's...

    James and James !?

    Am given as 'siblings' by the Spirit, means of 'half-siblings', since Jesus is the 'spirit being' from Heaven who took on flesh. Apparently they don't share the same Father, conceive alone by Mary by the power of the Holy ghost. Only prophetically, Jesus by genealogy would come from the line of...

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

    There's no specifics to water, but alone done in faith dunk in any clean water, one is apparently born of water (Jn. 3:5).

    James and James !?

    Your given lengthy speculation as 'cousins'. versus my given, as it is written word, 'brethren'. Even to the reaction they've shown repeatedly towards Jesus, proves can only be done by a parent or sibling. Sorry am not buying, for my spirit affirms 'brethren' of Christ, even when they were in...

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

    You got that right, and many more related in my given posts, put them in context, and water baptism is not done with. In the book of Acts, the reluctant Peter towards the Gentiles, upon revelation of acceptance, he water baptized Gentile Cornelius and his household, as they were in the...

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

    Again 'lagging behind' Mr Peter 'lag', apparently from the book of Acts, water baptism is for the new responding converts to Christ. Therefore moving forward in their epistles to the already saved churches. to some point is no longer mentioned, nor necessary to address again. Moreover there are...

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

    You've missed a '?' at the end of verse '47'. Apostle Peter in that verse is affirming is there any one who would stand in his way, if he were to baptize with water these Gentiles who have received the Spirit just as they Jews have. When there was none opposed, Peter commanded them to be...

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

    Mr Peterlag who's lagging behind, 'forbids' Apostle Peter, that these should not be baptized with water.

    James and James !?

    There are about ten instances in the New Testament where "brothers" and "sisters" of the Lord are mentioned (Matt. 12:46; 13:55; Mark 3:31-34; 6;3; Luke 8:19-20; John 2:12; 7:3,5,10; Acts 1;14; 1 Cor. 9:5)

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

    Acts 8: 38. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way...

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

    There is written, You are of your father the devil and his will ye shall do, that is 'lie'. Acts 10: 47. Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48. And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed...

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

    Blind guides, do not be haughty and be wise in your own conceit and shame on you, Steven. Matthew 15: 13. But He answered and said, Every plant, which My Heavenly FATHER hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. and if the blind lead the...

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

    Acts 8: 17. Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. First, praying for them to receive the Holy Ghost was incomplete. Second, they were baptize with water for the remission of sins. Third, when hands were laid on them, they received the Holy Ghost. Shalom in the...

    James and James !?

    Will make it simple for you, there many Jews who go by the similar name but they are not of the same family. But you are deliberately mixing them altogether and making them cousins to Jesus to support your theory. Again, for me All Scripture = Holy bible and it is never wrong being helped by...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    GOD through Christ Jesus our Lord did not invite Bible scholars but the unlearned nobodies, where HE will pour out HIS Spirit. John 5: 38. And ye have not HIS word abiding in you: for whom HE hath sent, Him ye believe not. 39. Search the scripture; for in them ye think ye have eternal life...
