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

    Brother AlaninChrist, it would be pointless for Jesus to say that those who do not believe and is not baptized will be damned because all unbelievers are not baptized. As long as they remain unbelievers, they will not be baptized. If a believer is truly a believer, he/she will follow Christ...

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

    Jesus said, "He that believes and is baptized will be saved and he who believes not will be damned." Later, He told His Apostles to "baptize all nations in the name of the Father,the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). This is no longer John's baptism. John never baptized in the name of...

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

    We never took God's title. As I have shown you in scripture, St. Paul called himself "father" and "teacher", but you have nothing to say about that as to why St. Paul did that? I provided you scriptures showing that Christ and the Apostles called men on earth who they were not related to as...

    Is wealth and riches a sinful thing for God's people to have?

    Having money and riches is not a sin. Love of money and riches is the sin. Someone once told me that in the Old Testament, the tithe to God is 10%, but in the New Testament, it's much worse......because Christ says to give up everything. :blink: Compared to that, I think the 10% tithing is...

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

    Instead of making false accusations about our Church, it would be best if you simply ask what our Church teach about non-Catholic Christians. The Catholic Church teaches that Protestants and Orthodox Christians are our brothers in Christ despite the imperfect communion between us. That is in...

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

    There is only one baptism (See Ephesians 4:5). Show me in the Holy Bible where it says that baptism cannot save anyone. And do you know what baptism means? According to Strong's biblical translation, the Greek word for "saved" in Mark 16:16 is "sozo", and it's a verb....not an adjective...

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

    Mark 16:16-17 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons;they will speak in new tongues; Okay......let's go over this slowly and see if I can make you...

    LOVING MUSLIMS

    It is only with God that all things are possible. I understand where you are coming from. When we are hurt by someone, we don't forgive instantly. It often takes time to forgive. But this is why we need to always turn to Christ. Christ always walks beside us, and from time to time, we will...

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

    This is what scripture says: Matthew 23:8-10 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the...

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

    Niki, in my previous post, baptism means to be "born again." That is what Catholics believe in. In fact, you even admit in your own post #50 that: Baptism is symbolic of our death in Christ and rebirth into new life (See your post #50). Well, that is what Catholics believe baptism to...

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

    YOU were the one who said that a person must make a personal decision to accept Jesus as Savior in order to receive the Holy Spirit. I just showed you through scripture that your belief is in error. God can give the Holy Spirit to whomever He wants....including to people who did not make a...

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

    This is incorrect. A child was once a part of the mother when the child was in the womb of the mother. Furthermore, Catholics also teach that Christians are the Body of Christ. It is also in scripture that St. Paul called the Heavenly Jerusalem "mother." A mother gives birth to children. The...

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

    If it's so easy, then why did Jesus say that it's much easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle rather than someone to enter Heaven? If it's so easy, then why did Jesus say that the road to life is narrow and small and so very few people find it?

    Why Do People Lose Their Religion?

    I agree. All Catholics should read the Holy Bible as well as the Catechisms. I'm also one of the few who reads Scripture and the Catechisms.

    split from "Feamle Pastors" was he always the Son or did he become the Son on our behalf ?

    The Nicene Creed, which was created in the fourth century mentions that Jesus is the "eternal begotten" Son of the Father. God acts in three distinct Persons, though He is one unique and singular whole. This is the mystery of the Trinity. As the Son of God, Jesus takes part fully in this...

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

    I never said that infant baptism is not in the Bible. There is a hint of infant baptism in the Bible unless you can prove to me that those "whole households" that were baptized did not have any infants in them. However, you claim that it isn't biblical.....which makes me wonder how then can...

    LOVING MUSLIMS

    There are actually many Muslims converting to Christianity, but it's being done underground. If they go public, they would be persecuted and most likely killed. In Indonesia, it was reported that 10,000 Muslims converted to Christianity. Conversions like this are also taking place in Africa...

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

    There are many things that are not in the Bible, but that does not mean that it is false. There is nothing in the Bible saying that we should brush our teeth, but we do it anyway. How do you know that George Washington was the first President of the United States? You know it from historical...

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

    My friend, you make it so easy to get into Heaven. So, all you need to do is believe in Jesus Christ and that's it.....you get to go to Heaven. You make it sound so easy, but what did Jesus Christ Himself say? Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad...

    Salvation

    1 Timothy 3:15 so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth. The Bible has always pointed to the Church as the pillar and foundation of truth. The...
