    Hell for not getting baptized by water

    There is only one baptism (See Ephesians 4:5). We believe in only one baptism, and Christ is our role model whom we should follow. Christ allowed Himself to be baptized at the Jordan River despite that He did not need to be baptized. At the Jordan River, He was baptized by water and by the...

    Are people who call themselves Christians Christ like?

    As Christians, we are supposed to follow Christ. We are called to be "like Christ" because God DID call us to be holy because He is holy (Leviticus 19:2) and to be perfect for He is perfect (Matthew 5:48). However, we cannot be holy and perfect on our own. Only God can make us holy and perfect...

    Hell for not getting baptized by water

    Circumcision was not required by the Gentiles because baptism replaced it. Baptism is not a personal choice according to this scripture: Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Christ made it clear that those who believe...

    Hell for not getting baptized by water

    First of all, you are incorrect to say that circumcision is not a requirement for salvation. In the first place, God commanded Abraham and his male descendants to circumcise themselves as part of the covenant between God and Israel. Those who were disobedient to God's command were cut off from...

    Hell for not getting baptized by water

    There are two reasons for baptism. The first one is repentance of sins. Baptism symbolized the repentance and cleansing of sins. If one does not repent of their sins, one cannot be saved. Therefore, believing and confessing His name is not enough. As the Holy Scripture says, "not everyone...

    Hell for not getting baptized by water

    Jesus Christ is the ONLY Way to salvation. Jesus Christ had Himself baptized, and He allowed His Apostles to baptize others. What good is saying that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation if we choose not to follow in His footsteps and do what He did? Afterall, He is our example and role...

    Hell for not getting baptized by water

    Most importantly......believing is not just saying "I believe that God exists." If a person truly believes then he/she will be obedient to Christ's words when He says: Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

    Hell for not getting baptized by water

    Only God makes that kind of judgement. No human on earth can condemn a person to Hell or even save a person into Heaven. But if you are bothered about being baptize by water, my suggestion is that you imitate what Christ does because we are all called to be like Him. Christ is the Way to...

    Spoken Word and Written Word are the Same

    It was NOT the enemy who wrote the Bible nor canonized the books of the Bible. Isn't that what we were discussing about?

    Pope Says Future Of Mankind At Stake Over Gay Marraige

    The moral teachings of the Church has already been set. What the Pope is saying here about gay marriage is not new nor does it go against the moral teachings of the Church.

    What does God get out of all this?

    God created everything because God is love. And that is what love does.....it creates. It does not get anything in return nor seek anything in return. God does not need anything because He created all things.

    Is God more than the Bible?

    The Word of God (Jesus Christ) is not the same as the Holy Bible (Scripture). Jesus Christ is the Logos who existed with God at the beginning. The word "scripture" is "graphe" in Greek. Logos (Word of God) and graphe (scripture, which is also the word of God) are not the same. One is the...

    A couple more questions

    1. You can only be baptized once. Imitate Christ for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. At baptism, the Holy Spirit descends upon you and plants the seed of faith in you. That seed of faith will grow as you study God's words and walk more like Christ. 2. The story of King David is...

    Spoken Word and Written Word are the Same

    The biblical scripture you quoted simply says that all scripture is inspired by God, but it never told you which scripture was inspired by God. God always uses people as His instrument to carry out His will. It was men inspired under the Holy Spirit who wrote scripture, and it was men inspired...

    Your Opinion On Atheists

    No one knows where Dahmer is at except God and Dahmer.

    I have a bunch of basic questions

    1. When Adam and Eve sinned, their sin had an impact on their descendants and the rest of creation (Romans 5:12) Heaven was closed to all of mankind and those who died went to the land of the dead, which the Jewish people call "Sheol." Christ's death and resurrection opened the gates of...

    Polygamy

    I already provided the scripture. :)

    Polygamy

    God did not give David many wives. It was David who took it upon himself to marry many wives. 1 Samuel 25:43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives. And it was Saul who also gave one of David's wife to another man in marriage. 1 Samuel 25:44 But...

    Your Opinion On Atheists

    While it is true that salvation comes only from Jesus Christ, God is the only one who makes the judgement on who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell. Romans 2:12-16 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by...

    The Ark of the Covenant is.......

    The article is saying that the blood of the child produces itself within the body of the child after fertilization has taken place. The article points out that it is not necessary for a single blood to be given to the child because after fertlization, the seed of the father does not bring blood...
