I am not sure what either you or that article on the incarnation Principle is trying to say. It does, however, point out some errors in the Non-Catholic theology. It also, probably unintentionally, point out some errors in the Catholic theology. When I get time, I will try to address your...

There is nothing wrong with a celebration of life. But that is not the biblical purpose of baptism. There is nothing in scripture, specifically the NT, that says that we should poor cold water on a baby's head as a celebration of life. On the other hand, it does say what the purpose of...

That is not true. It was not to demonstrate anything. Baptism, as presented in the NT, is never for the purpose of demonstrating anything. They were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ because they had not received the gift of the Holy Spirit. We know that from the account given in Acts...

I think you have a bad definition of religion. Belief in God of the Bible is a religion.

22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. In Adam all die physically. In Christ all will be made alive, i.e., resurrected to a spiritual body. 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and...

No need to go to church and dunk the baby in cold water; just smack the little sucker on the bottom and he will fuss and cry.

Colossians 2:11-12 says that all that was accomplished was THROUGH FAITH. Infants do not have faith. Moreover, they have not sinned and therefore were not dead in their transgressions and sin. There was nothing to be forgiven for.

Baptism, in and of itself, has absolutely no impact. It does not "work" to accomplish anything, It is simplly the occasion, the time in the life of the penitent believer that God forgives the believers sins and gives him the gift of the Holy Spirit. Baptism itself accomplishes nothing. And...

That has nothing to do with baptism.

Where do you read in scripture about that first purpose?

Why were you infant baptized? What purpose did it serve? If "it worked on infants" why would it not work on adults? In that case we could just force, even at gunpoint, to be baptized and solve the whole problem of the lost.

Only in the fact that all in Adam, i.e., all men, have sinned (Rom 5:12). However, I do believe that 1 Corinthians 15:22 is speaking of physical death and the resurrection. And physical death is a fact of creation. There is nothing in this physical creation that is immortal. All living...

The ability to work miracles such as speaking in tongues and prophesying does not come from the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Baptism of the Holy Spirit results in the indwelling Holy Spirit. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a promise to all penitent believers who are baptized in the name of...

The consequences of eating the forbidden fruit in the garden was not physical death; rather it was spiritual death and being ejected from the garden. The reason that Adam was ejected from the garden was to keep him from being able to eat the fruit of the tree of life which prevented physical...

To be in Adam is to be living physical human being. Everything physical dies. To be in Christ is to be living spiritual being. Everything spiritual lives. ! Corinthians 15:21-22 is speaking of the resurrection. We die a physical being, we are raised, resurrected, a spiritual being. That has...

My response to anyone who says, "God told me...." is "God told me to ignore you".

That was directed specifically to the twelve, not to you, not to me or anyone else.

The spirit of man comes from God. Original sin, the imputation of Adam's sin unto all mankind, makes God the creator and giver of a spirit dead in sin. Then it is not sin. 1Jn 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. Lawlessness is disobedience...

Wrong, but since you continue to blame God for your sins, so be it. There is so much rhetoric about "the fall". It is really odd that those words, that phrase, that concept occurs in the Bible. It is man-made.

True. False. The Soul Who Sins Shall Die Eze 18:1 The word of the LORD came to me: Eze 18:2 "What do you mean by repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge'? Eze 18:3 As I live, declares the Lord...
