I don't ever make a judgment based on one or two anecdotal examples. That is not good practice. In many areas of life, one can quote this person or that person but no reliable research is made on two people saying this or that. For your two I can quote a hundred who do the opposite because I am...

I am not denying that because I said so myself. The word in Acts means to be fully wet. No more and no less. What other verses mean is not relevant to this scripture.

Of course, I don't have a clue, that is why 50 years of study has kept me in the dark and all my learning and degrees are worthless. How many degrees have you got?

Thank you for your opinion. Noted and disregarded.

You have got a bee in your bonnet haven't you.

I notice that Helen has said Oh no not again. We have dealt with this subject ad infinitum. Perhaps it is because we are treading on someone's toes who have sundayitis every time the subject is broached. It is hard to ditch tradition for truth as we all know in the church. Change!! What for? We...

Having studied the history of the Jews and the Jewish people it is very clear that God has given his chosen people attributes that enables them to be successful, especially money-wise. As far as I can remember, the Jews with six million people have earned 127 Noble Prizes mainly for advancement...

Your post is irrelevant to the topic. Having been interested in all things Jewish since I was in my 20s (I am now 78) and received teaching from Jewish experts like Lance Lambert and Derek Prince I can assure you that a race known as Jews exists and are alive and well and live in Israel in the...

In that verse in Acts, there was no symbolism involved. Being baptised in water by immersion was commonplace in those days.

I am dubious about anyone who uses a verse of scripture with a different meaning to justify that meaning in a verse that has an entirely different meaning. i.e. Acts 2 with 1 Cor 10:2.

Or as the case may be, the collective demands of the denominations which may or may not be found in scripture.

As I was reading your post this came to me and I have included different translations to show there is not much variation. (CEV) And you are fully grown because you belong to Christ, who is over every power and authority. (KJV) And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality...

And who is holding those doctrines?

"...because we serve the same God, have the same Holy Spirit and are saved by the same Jesus, the only begotten son of God." You are not serious, are you? The same God. The same Jesus. The same Holy Spirit? It can't be because the same Jesus was done away with when the canon of scripture was...

And can I add, denominations?

I honestly do not know why as God has blessed Israel so much since they regained their homeland in 1948. I read David Ben Gurion's autobiography, the first Prime Minister of the New Israel (about 648 pages) and have followed their history ever since. If the Muslims had their way Israel would no...

Brakelite, paragraphs please.

I have no idea what chancer means

Maybe a case of you in your small corner and I in mine. I have lived on three continents so I have been around.

Sorry but you are reading into scripture what is not there. I am a Baptist by birth, Was theologically-educated at a Brethren Bible College and have post-college spent two years studying the New Testament Church and the way of life they conducted for a Ph.D. This involved reading over 60 books...
