    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Perhaps, you should go back then and read all the posts, so I don't need to re-post many of the things I've said. It would be redundant. According to the Bible, water baptism can save. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned...

    Pakistani Girl Falsely Accused of Blasphemy Moves To Canada

    And what happened to the Muslim who falsely accused this young girl?? Why wasn't he fleeing for his life? The blasphemy laws in Pakistan is being used by Muslims to get rid of Christians.

    House Churches - Don't You Sometimes Wish We could Go Back To the Days Of Acts?

    The "mustard seed" analogy actually relates to both faith and growth of a Church. We grow in faith, and the Church grows because Christ sent His Apostles to baptize all nations and God desires to save all (1 Timothy 2:4).

    House Churches - Don't You Sometimes Wish We could Go Back To the Days Of Acts?

    Christ's Church was meant to grow and not remain a mustard seed. If it remains a mustard seed today....then it would be a dead mustard seed.

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    It is because you asked me this question: So what about the verse which says if we confess our sin, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness. I already explained that to Alan and even to Mrjhealth, in my post #123, and then you came in and...

    House Churches - Don't You Sometimes Wish We could Go Back To the Days Of Acts?

    Actually, it's not that different at all. The Early Christians met in homes simply because the Church back then was very small like a mustard seed. However, as St. Paul and the rest of the Apostles continue to evangelize, the Church grew and grew and grew. They became so large that they could...

    The Life of Jesus Christ

    Christ did not commit any personal sins even when He was a child. He did not intentionally sneaked out to go to the temple. He was following the will of His Father. Mary did not scold Jesus. She only asked why He made her and Joseph worry. When He answered her question, Mary kept His answer...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    "All" does not include future sins because an act that is not committed is not a sin.

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    My post was referring to Mrjhealth, who stated that we don't need to confess our sins because they're already forgiven. He believed that even "future sins" are forgiven.

    Female Pastors

    Nope. Not according to God's plan.

    Female Pastors

    God is called a "he" because God is a person or a being despite the fact that He is neither male nor female....and a person cannot be called an "it." I never said that the flesh has nothing to do with the Spirit's action. I have no idea where you got that. There are some things that men...

    Female Pastors

    Men and women were created in God's image, BUT in no way is God in man's image. God the Father is NEITHER male nor female. He is pure spirit in which there is no place for the difference between the sexes. But the respective "perfections" of man and woman reflect something of the infinite...

    Female Pastors

    I don't put God in a box. I know God. It was God who also created the flesh. He created all things - flesh and spirit. A pastor is a representative to Christ, who is Head of God's family (Church). Since Christ is a male, then only a male can represent Christ who is Head of the Church...

    Female Pastors

    God believes that all are equal as human beings, but that is as far as it goes. God created men and women different, and that is the truth. For example, only women can carry a baby in her womb and give birth. Men were not created to give birth. Being created different does not mean that they...

    Female Pastors

    In that biblical verse, it is saying that God does not care whether the person is rich or poor (See Strong's biblical translation) or whether they are powerful or weak. But God does respect everyone......respect in this case meaning that God holds us in high esteem. God views us in high...

    Female Pastors

    God respects everyone, but God has free will. He can choose whomever He wants. He chose Israel to be His chosen people, not any other nation. He chose David to be His anointed one, not David's brothers. He chose Issac, not Ishmael, and He chose Jacob, not Essau. Just because God chose...

    ♫♪ HAPPY BIRTHDAY HS ♥♪♫

    Happy belated birthday. Sorry for being late. What coincidence. My friend's birthday also fell on Father's Day.

    Female Pastors

    God pours his gifts on everyone - male or female, but to be a pastor is not a gift. It is a calling and only men are called to be pastors.

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    "All" in here does not mean your "future" sins, and sins that you don't confess and purposely withheld are NOT forgiven. Think about this: If God forgave all my future sins, then whatever sins I commit from now on is already forgiven. So, I can go out and murder 6000 people, and I don't have...

    Female Pastors

    God only called the men to become pastors. He didn't call the women, but women would like to think that they were called by God to be His priests.
