    with out the infant baptised there would not be one christian to day

    Actually, there is a hint that it does teach infant baptism. Acts 2:38-39 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your...

    St. John the Baptist and baptism is part of the New Testament.

    Can you have God as your Father, without the Church as your mother?

    Hello Brother Michael. There will always be sinful members in the Roman Catholic Church. As I said, even the Apostle Peter denied Christ three times. In fact, there are sinful members in every church. While it is true that there are members in the Roman Catholic Church whose behavior is...

    Can you have God as your Father, without the Church as your mother?

    Hello Michael. We do have a few bad popes in history, and we know who they are. They were not taken off the list. Nevertheless, the teachings of the Catholic Church remains the same despite the bad popes we had in history. In fact, even the Apostle Peter could be viewed as a "bad Pope"...

    Understanding the Egypt Situation: SAT-7 Brings Firsthand Clarity

    It's always good to hear that some Muslims are willing to help Christians. Yes, buildings can always be replaced. People cannot.

    Can you have God as your Father, without the Church as your mother?

    A mother produces a child. A Church is like a mother because she produces more "Christians". After all, a Church is supposed to grow, not decrease in size. When Christ said, go out and baptize all nations......He meant go out and convert more Christians. A Church always produces fruits.

    Defining Social Justice

    I agree. Christians need to wake up. If one looks at the abortion statistics, for example, Christians (both Protestants and Catholics) have high abortion rates. We need to live up to our Christian values.

    Can you have God as your Father, without the Church as your mother?

    Hello Michael, Peace be with you. Yes, I stated that a doctrine cannot be changed. The doctrine of papal infallibility was defined by Vatican II in 1965. But what they defined was already in practice for thousands of years. When the Vatican defines something, it is never anything new...

    Can you have God as your Father, without the Church as your mother?

    And exactly what was I trying to cover up?? I was telling the truth.....a truth that you were not aware of. You were the one making the claim that the Roman Catholic Church does not allow priests to marry, and that is not quite true. It is only in the Latin-rite Church that celibacy is a...

    with out the infant baptised there would not be one christian to day

    I already gave scripture showing that baptism can save. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. The problem is that you are only reading what you want to read and leave out the part you don't like. In other words, this is how...

    God Knew Adam and Eve Would Fall

    You are correct when you say that Christ did not promise a "blanket" redemption for all mankind. It is only for those who accept Jesus Christ. But God desires to save all men (See 1 Timothy 2:4). This is why Christ sent the Apostles to all nations so they could spread the good news in order...

    Can you have God as your Father, without the Church as your mother?

    Hi Michael, First of all, the assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is not contradictory to scripture simply because there is nothing in scripture that says whether she was assumed into Heaven or not. Things that are not mentioned in the Holy Bible are not contrary to scripture. Because it's...

    with out the infant baptised there would not be one christian to day

    Where in my post did I suggest that? Was it not Jesus who stated that one must be born of water and spirit to enter the Kingdom of God?

    with out the infant baptised there would not be one christian to day

    Jesus said that one must be born of water and spirit. That is what I've always been saying. And to be born of water and spirit is baptism.......a baptism that is like Christ, who was baptized at the Jordan River. Christ was baptized with water and spirit. That is what I've always been...

    LOVING MUSLIMS

    There have been people interpreting the harlot of Babylon as many other things. Some interpret it as the Catholic Church. Others as Islam. Others as Jerusalem. Others as the U.S. I guess we ascribe it to what we don't like.

    with out the infant baptised there would not be one christian to day

    The fact that God Himself was the one who instituted water baptism shows that it is necessary. Water baptism was not instituted by man. The Holy Bible shows that both water and spirit are needed. Remember Christ did say that one must be born of water and spirit. He did not say that one must...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    I agree that Jesus and James were not brothers. However, James was the son of the OTHER Mary.......the Mary of Clophas, and this biblical verse below proves it. Mark 15:40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and...

    with out the infant baptised there would not be one christian to day

    Do not take what Paul said out of context. First of all, Paul did baptize.....but what made him upset was that the Corinthians were saying that they were baptized in the name of Paul. Look at what I placed in bold in your quote. Nowhere in here is Paul saying that baptism is NOT necessary...

    When Jesus told us to EAT his body, what do you think you are feeding on?

    I thought "afaithfulone" was the one who asked why the Apostles didn't eat Christ's flesh after it was taken down from the cross. Besides, the Apostles already ate Christ's body and drank His blood at the last supper when Christ consecrated the bread and said, "This is my body." I was...
