    Is baptismal regeneration…

    Infants can't believe, can't confess, have not committed sin so they have no need to repent nor can they, nor can someone make a decision on their behalf to have them baptized. It's all unscriptural and doesn't matter who has done it for however long. It's contrary to the inspired word of God...

    Saved by Faith vs Repentance and Obeying the Commandments

    You are 100% correct. Those that say belief alone is all that's necessary are ignoring many scriptures that say otherwise and are contrary to God's word. BAPTISM Necessity or option? Baptism is required in order to: · Be saved Mark 16:16 “He that believeth and is baptized shall be...

    rejecting Jesus Christ is different from the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

    True. Repost The unforgivable sin answer is in verse 30 of Mark 3 as relates to verse 22, insinuating that Jesus is in fact aligned with the devil or Beelzebub and his spirit is unclean. Mark 3:22-30 22And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the...

    IS IT A SIN FOR A CHRISTIAN TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, OR IS IT JUST WRONG??

    Not a sin, but just dumb. Ecclesiastes 10:2 2A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

    Acts 2:38 is hidden from Christendom like Jesus is hidden from the blinded Jews

    You are correct. Acts 2:38 is routinely ignored as are other similar scriptures that plainly infer or blatantly state that water baptism is a requirement for salvation, no different than is belief.

    "And I Will Profess Unto Them, I Never Knew...Who, Exactly?"

    How do you become known by God? That's the question, and the answer is quite simple. You have to be HIS, and how is that accomplished? You have to become part of the body of Christ which is his church. And how is that accomplished? You're baptized into Christ, and the Lord adds you to the church...

    The One Baptism

    John's baptism did indeed remit sins as it was "the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins" Luke 3:3, but unlike Acts 2:38, it had to be repeated periodically if new sins occurred no different than atonement under OT law, whereas when you're baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the...

    The Impassable Great Gulf in Hell: No legs to walk with

    The great gulf may not be in hell when you consider the pertinent locations of it and it's counterpart. Hell assumed to be within the earth, but paradise, which is also the 3rd Heaven, is in a heavenly location. So, the great gulf may be between mid earth to some heavenly realm transitioning space.

    How do you do bible study?

    In my view, you must become very familiar with the scriptures first of all so you can be knowledgeable enough to recall scriptures, not necessarily verbatim, but generally what they said and where they may be found, because you must tie scriptures together to get the complete meaning in a great...

    The Unity of the faith.

    Hello. I tend to think this is not related to a future event but rather the past as relates to the early church and the need back then for the various miraculous gifts as noted in 1 Cor 12:8-10. I've done a study on this subject and will post some of this below which ties in 1 Cor, 2 Cor...

    The spirit of Protestantism!

    Not sure what point you're trying to make here.

    We are eternal beings!

    Not quite. Before we were, we weren't. If we were truly eternal, we would have always existed as God has always existed. Not the case with us.

    Is baptismal regeneration…

    You're not saved only one element which baptism is. It's the last element in the process but it alone doesn't and won't save your soul. If that were the case unbelievers could be saved which makes no sense. 1. Belief and faith 2. Confession of belief 3. Repentance 4. Baptism for the remission...

    Is baptismal regeneration…

    Being reborn is synonymous with being saved, converted, etc. They all equate to the same thing, and baptism, the immersion in water is part of that process of being saved, reborn, or converted such as was the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, or the Jews in Acts 2, or Paul in Acts 9 as retold in Acts 22

    Is baptismal regeneration…

    True. Conversion must include water baptism. Without baptism there can be no conversion no different than belief, faith, confession of belief, and repentance. All are required including baptism in order to be saved/born again/converted, become a child of God and Christian, added to the Lord's...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Sorry, you are wrong and are not understanding what John the Baptist said in its proper context. Here's a repost I put together for someone else recently that addresses this topic. REPOST Start with Luke 3:16 and Luke 24:47-49 both restated in Acts 1:4-5. What's it say? One will come that...
