    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    According to Jesus, water baptism does save. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Furthermore, after John the baptist died, Jesus continued to allow His disciples to baptize. And after Christ rose from the dead and...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    First become a child of God and then be baptized?? How does one become a child of God?? Is it not by following Christ?? So, if Christ had Himself baptized and one decides to do the same, then his/her obedience in following in Christ's footsteps already makes him/her a child of God. A person...

    It says that all of them received the Holy Spirit, but it never said that all of them were ORDAINED as priests. Besides, you still have never addressed the fact that God has called only the sons of Aaron and Levi to be priests. He never called their daughters to become priests. I see that you...

    The women in the upper room were not priests. Mary, the mother of Jesus was in the upper room, and she was not a priest. Just because a person has the Holy Spirit does not mean that they are now ORDAINED a priest.

    Female Pastors

    The fact is there were no female pastors or priests in the Bible or even among the Early Christians. Female pastors is a "modern" thing found only in the 20th and 21st century. The Old Testament books clearly showed that God called only the "sons" of Aaron and Levi to be priests. He did not...

    Is there opportunity to repent after death?

    The spirits in prison were those who died before Christ came down incarnated in the form of man. Noah was one of those spirits in prison. Noah knew God the Father, but He did not know the Son. So, after Christ died, Jesus went to those spirits and preached the Gospel to them....so they would...

    The Greek word for Deacon has more than one meaning. You are correct that the Greek word could also mean "servant." In the case of Phoebe, she was a "Servant" and nothing more than that. The office of Deacon, however, is a male position because these men are there for the priesthood. In...

    Was Mary sinless?

    There are some Eastern Orthodox Churches that do accept the Immaculate Conception. According to the weblink below: The Immaculate Conception also came to be reverenced in Orthodox countries, especially during the height of the Baroque period in the Kyivan Church and also by Greeks, as Father...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    We follow Jesus Christ and all those whom God sent. God sent the Apostle Paul, and Paul said it's okay to follow him because he follows Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. If one cannot follow the person whom God sent, then how does one expect...

    Was Peter ever in Rome? What saith the Scriptures?

    The Bishops and priests are our spiritual fathers because God gave them the task of watching out for our souls. It is God who is our Heavenly Father or Father in Heaven. Jesus said: And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Hebrews 13:17 Obey...

    Female Pastors

    Yes, now we see why the Bible says that women are not supposed to be pastors. These are also the same women who say that God is a Mother and Jesus is also not just the Son of God, but a Daughter.

    Share His bride?? And whom do you think Christ was going to share His bride with....Buddha?? The Hindu gods?? Christ is the Head of His Church and He has authority over His Church (His Bride).

    They're not analogies. The marriage between man and woman (which is found in Genesis at the BEGINNING of the Bible) is a reflection of the marriage between Christ and His Church in Revelations (which is found at the END of the Bible). God put Adam to sleep and opened his side and Eve was...

    Not everything in the Bible is an analogy. For example, God creating Eve from the rib of Adam.....was that an analogy??
