Juse for clarity, beibg a Christian and being worldly are two distinctly different things. You can be a Christian and yet be worldly, possibly meaning you're not a good Christian, but nevertheless, a Christian. The process of becoming a Christian has nothing to do with how you carry yourself or...

I never said he causes you to make the choices that you make, only knows in advance that you'll make them.

Something I've posted here and elsewhere on this subject Predestination (based upon the foreknowledge of God) Premise: God knows the beginning and the end, so therefore he must also know all that will occur within the entire expanse of time including everything that will occur in the middle...

Clearly only adults as they only have the ability to hear, believe, confess, repent and then be baptized. Children don't have those capabilities Acts 5:14 14And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

Edit: please disregard this jim.b as I thought it was meant for me DJT_47 but was apparently for theefaith. Sorry. My comment however is pertinent. I understand perfectly that it's Latin nonsense and those that use such idiotic words do so in a vain attempt to demonstrate their supposed...

You're not making good sense. First, there are no more apostles. Secondly, there was no written word to guide anyone unlike today. And finally, since we di have tge written word it is our one and only inspired word of God. There are sufficient warnings about adding to or taking away from the...

It's really not that we should be baptized after believing, but rather absolutely must be if we want to be saved. Should implies that it's not imperative but more like it's simply good or right or that it's optional; it's not.

What do you mean by heaven?

New born infants are without sin. Infants can neither commit sin, which is a transgression, nor can they believe which is a prerequisite to baptism, nor can they confess, also a prerequisite to baptism, and further cannot nor have they a need to repent. No one can superimpose themselves in place...

Before finishing reading all of your illogical logic, let me me sum it up this way. If you take any single scripture or few as you've done trying to make the case that baptism isn't an essential part of salvation, you will always end up with scriptures appearing to conflict with or contradict...

Amen

It's Paul describing himself not some other person. He uses 1st person singular: I and me.

I see a lot of discussion here about churches and respective names and/or insinuation of their origin such. But the fact of the matter is, if you follow the prescribed biblical process of becoming a Christian, a child of God, being saved, and a member of the body of Christ, HE adds you to HIS...

You are taking this subject out of the original context. It's not general things as you've mentioned, but a single, very specific thing and Paul asked the Lord three times to remove it from him. Look up the word grace also which equates to clemency, leniency, unmerited gift, forgiveness, etc all...

By affliction I mean a medical issue like cancer, leprosy, heart issues, etc.

Marriage is the union of two previously separate things. 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...

A good benchmark I Jesus who was 12 when he started doing his father's work. Also, Acts 5:14 says both men and women. And infants can't believe, confess their belief, nor repent nor do they have sin committed to repent of. You must believe and confess prior yo baptism according to the scriptures.

"No not at all" meaning ?? My point is that since the scriptures clearly state that God didn't create the earth in vain but rather to be inhabited, so is it not then to be assumed that he likewise didn't create the entire universe in vain, but also to be inhabited rather than just for us here...

The bible alone is the only authority. There are sufficient warnings in both the OT and NT for adding to, taking away from, or disobeying the commands of God. There were no and are no successors to Peter since he was simply one of the 12 with no more or less authority than the others possessed...

Harold. Your basic premise on the four points listed are unfounded and unsupported by scripture in all respects.
