According to Fatalistic Sovereignty, nothing happens unless God causes it. We have no free-will but to only do what is foreordained. There are those that are so Philosophically sold-out to Fatalism that the only god that can impress them is one that puts on a puppet show for himself!

You are posting with dogma and circular reasoning, and not Scripture. Once again, where have I ever said that infants were "innocent"? If you were listening instead of knocking down strawmen of your own invention, we could be dealing with your evasion to prove that there are no infants in heaven.

Steve, the reason why the translators of the 1611 King James translated they way they did was... they didn't know Greek well enough to make the distinction! But before any KJO Bible-Worshiper has an aneurism, allow me to say that no one understood the Greek verb tenses until the 1890's. In most...

Where did I claim that they were "innocent"? And you showed zero proof that they are guilty of sin! It is not a Biblical answer to claim that there are no infants in heaven because they need feeding and care. Circular Calvinism is no proof of that. The passage you give says nothing about God...

To say that something that did not exist for the first 900 years of Church history qualifies as "enough documentary evidence" is a pathetic argument. If the earliest manuscripts match what the Early Church Fathers used as Scripture, and not the later Byzantine text, why would they all use...

So, Predestinating little infants to torture in an Eternal Hell is "profoundly gracious, merciful and lovely"?"

And unlike most Calvinists here, they have more in common with Gnostic Fatalism than Scripture, and they don't know it. Since we were making comparative observations... Imagine how many are in an Eternal Hell for trusting in some fictional Calvinistic "gnosis" that they are one of the "Elect"...

Clearly, I don't need to dull my conscience at night to justify following a heretical murderer!

On October 27, 1553, Calvin’s men used green wood for the fire so Servetus would be slowly baked alive from the feet upward. For 30 minutes he screamed for mercy and prayed to Jesus as the fire worked its way up his body to burn the theology book Calvin had strapped to his chest as a symbol of...

You need to read the Bible.

It is quite simple and irrefutably logical; if you are regenerated by God before you can respond and express faith, then it has nothing to do with you or imagined free-will. Therefore, since God creates every person depraved and without any freedom to accept or reject this forced "grace", then...

2 Timothy 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." The same as the Old Covenant, God remains faithful to His...

So, by evading the passage in question, you jump to another. I will take it that there is no immersion to be found in that passage. Acts 10:47-48 says nothing about immersion either. I have stepped into (eis) many a puddle, and have stepped from out of (ek) the same puddle, and with shoes on I...

Where is immersion baptism stated in this passage besides an assumption?

There are 28 conversions in the book of Acts by immersion baptism. Name one. Take your best shot.

Gnosticism predates the New Testament.

--we do not know with certainty the thief was not water baptized. He may very well been of those baptized in Mark 1:5. I know with a certainty that the Scriptures never say that he was baptized. Sorry, wishful thinking to justify a bad doctrine is no defense. --the thief is not an example of...

Mark 16:16------- baptism >>>>>>>>saves John 3:5 --------born of water>>>>>>enter the kingdom Acts 2:38------ baptism>>>>>>>>>>remission of sin 1 Peter 3:21---baptism>>>>>>>>>>saves How do you reach the conclusion baptism does not save? Mark 16:16 is a questionable verse as to its...

--The Greek word eis means for, looking forward..be baptized for, unto, looking forward to having sins remitted. It does not mean 'because". " My children are with me in (eis) bed." Luke 11:7. They were already with him in bed, there is not any reference to the future. "The men of Nineveh will...
