Not all translations include the word "the", such as the KJV. In fact in the interlinear includes the word "the", but not the word "great". KJV 14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and...

What exactly is  "the tribulation"? The bible speaks about "tribulation", not "the tribulation", which infers a specific one, so, what is THE tribulation?

Baptism. Baptism is transliterated from the Greek, baptizo, not translated, and means to dip, plunge, immerse. It is not interchangeable with pour or sprinkle which are two distinctly different words: chynon=sprinkle, paspalízo=pouring You cannot pour or sprinkle water on a person and say...

Good! Goodbye. Go read some hogwash written by one of your cherished Apostolic Fathers. (They ain't my Fathers)

If they were truly students of the apostles, then they wouldn't have changed what the apostles taught, which was done. The apostles were students of Christ: did they change in any way what the Lord taught them?

I believe in the bible only. Osas not. Never said or inferred I did.

Its absolutely mind boggling that one could believe the apparition nonsense, but it plays to their home base of believers in a phoney religion.

Having a good heart is not a free pass or get out of jail card. God does not waver or change his rules. If anyone thinks God will overlook things because someone has a "good heart", they are sadly mistaken. That's what the devil would like you to believe. "Few there be that find it". FEW!

If you sprinkle or pour water on unbelieving individuals, they're not saved, and if not saved, not Christians. And when you multiply that error across multitudes, you have a very large group of non-Christians who unfortunately, claim otherwise.

Yes, don't listen to the cousin of the uncle of the brother of the friend of one of the apostles. Listen only to the original as recorded in scripture.

It's no theory, that's what the scriptures say, which we can't enhance or augment as you're suggesting. You do know there were other apostles right, besides Matthias who replaced Judas, and Paul? Barnabas and Apollos. The Bible does say Barnabas and Saul (Paul) were, set apart, called out by God...

And in your response (don't know if that's your belief or not), therein lies the problem which is unscriptural as well as makes no sense. If infants don't know right from wrong, how could they have transgressed and be guilty of sin?? So, why would they need their sins washed away by baptism...

You assume to much, like "we are all Christians". That most likely is NOT true. Most don't understand that it is a process to become a Christian, and that it's not simply a state or assent of mind, or decision whereby you say to yourself, ' I think I now believe in God and Christ, and I'm gonna...

I was baptized into Christ as the scriptures teach which is the only way.

Follow the actual scriptures, where they lead you and not secondary or tertiary documents or the men that "spoke to the Apostles". I choose to follow the scriptures.

Interesting too. You never said how you came to be "in Christ", yet you claim to be a sister in Christ (I have my doubts that you understand how that happens). If that's true, you should know how you got to be "in Christ".

To clarify for you what the scriptures truly say, the account of Lydia being converted in Acts 16 doesn't say "families" nor do any other scriptures in all bibles I've checked; it either says "house" or "household". And the account of the jailer likewise says "he and his" and further goes on to...

More circles and more blah blah blah. I have a question for you which I asked before after-the-fact but received no answer as yet. Curious about your handle, Sister-n-Christ. How is it that you are in that relationship with Christ? What exactly did you do to be "in Christ"? Was it just mental...

You talk in circles and say nothing in the process

You can agree with whomever all you want, but the words of scripture ain't gonna change. There is no free pass going forward. There are remedies for subsequent sins, but no free pass. Read the Hebrew letter which is also very clear with a very clear warning to them about backsliding and...
