Lol...Jesus was a member of the "water cult" since he was baptized. I'm just sayin.....

How about if you address the questions I asked instead of making something up: Is it faith alone or grace alone?

I never said I don't like Trump.....o_O

Soooo is it faith alone or grace alone? It doesn't matter if YOU made that ceremony (baptism) a requirement for your salvation. YOU don't (Donald) trump Scripture!! The COMMANDMENT to baptize all is not a matter of being YOUR requirement. It is a requirement from God. I find it bizarre that...

Nope, faith is not made void when someone does what Christ told them to do (Matthew 28:19) and when we follow His example (Matthew 3:16). Scripture says that "ceremony" (baptism) saves us (1 Peter 3"21) and washes away sin. Faith without works is dead Charlie....Just like Scripture says. Deny it...

Yes, you do have a choice....And you made it!!! :waves: The Church is not pretending to be God. The Church is what Scripture says it is: it is a rock and the pillar and foundation of truth. I would also like to address your lie that The Church teaches that man cannot be saved without a priest...

Thanks Charlie, The purpose of water baptism is just what Scripture says its purpose is: be baptized, and wash away your sins,....even baptism doth also now save us So, yes, for us Christians our salvation starts with faith in Christ. We then get baptized, repent, confess with our mouths, do...

Will He give you grace if you aren't obedient to him? If you don't get water baptized, you are not obedient to Him and you are not following His example.

WE agree we ought to be water baptized. Thank you for the advice.

You seem to be saying two different things here Charlie. You state that salvation is by grace alone. You then go on to say that water baptism is something that we do through our faith, and it is obedience in confessing the Godhead. If we are not obedient to Him and confess Him.....will we be...

Lol....well, first off, I never "completely disregarded" that He was an adult when he was water baptized. The FACT is in post #326 I stated this: "Jesus was baptized as an adult". I look forward to a retraction of your statement:balloons: Second off.....He was a child when he was "baptized"...

I never said those things bring justification sooooooo I guess there is nothing to debate here. :Shining:

You are missing the point Charlie. There are DOZENS of times in Scripture where God uses visible signs of an invisible Grace. You stated, "that water had nothing to do with my redemption". You are correct, the water on its own had nothing to do with your redemption. I suspect you took many...

Thanks Charlie. As long as Moses hands were lifted, the Israelites were winning the battle. Was the faith in Moses hands? Did the faith in Jesus clothes heal the woman in Matthew 9? Was their faith in the spit that healed people? Is it the faith in the oil that makes us well (James 5:14)...

Hello. The defense for infant baptism began because some started arguing against it. It was an accepted practice in the 1st century based on what Scripture says: baptize all, baptism equated to circumcision, and entire families were baptized. That is why the argument FOR infant baptism began...

Hey, amigo, that's what your fellow Protestants have been doing for the last 500 years. You don't heed The Church. You think you are following Christ's commandments but you all still disagree with each other on what it takes to be saved. What gives? You are reading from the same bible sowhy all...

Ok Amigo. Lets put your theory to the test. Can a 5-year-old make that decision? Curious Mary

Yup, you accept the part of Scripture that says sin is washed by blood. You reject Scripture that says sin is washed by water: Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Rise and be...

Not true Wrangler. Entire families were baptized. Your THEORY is that there were no infants or children in those families, but your THEORY does not trump Scripture. Keeping it real....Mary

Thanks Enoch. Help me out here. Where does Scripture give instructions on HOW to baptize? Where does Scripture say God has already made provision for the salvation of infants and children through Christ?
