The fact that you believe infant baptism causes one to be born-again doesn't make a bit of difference either. It doesn't occur just because you believe it. It occurs only if God sanctions it. And there is nothing in Scripture that supports any salvation for the infant due to water baptism...

No, I'm not adding to Scripture. Why would James bring up sins in (James 5:15)? Because sins maybe the reason of the sickness. Just as I have showed you with the sin at the Lords supper. (1 Cor. 11:29-30) Just like I showed you with the man at the pool of Bethasda. (John 5:14) And...

I've already given you the answer. God is One. When He speaks as God He speaks as One. He Who is One God is three Persons. I showed you in (Gen. 1:26) "And God said, Let us make man in our image...." Pretty simple. Maybe you should send for help. Stranger

I made it pretty clear. Perhaps you missed it. Though three Persons He is God alone. Thus when He speaks as 'I' or 'alone', He is speaking as God. And God is three Persons. Just like when God said in (Gen. 1:26), "And God said, Let us make man in our image...." Stranger

The Son the second Person of the Trinity is present as the LORD in (Is. 44:24). Just as the Father is present. Just as the Holy Spirit is present. Though three Persons, He is God, and God alone. Stranger

Whether an infant is immersed, or dipped, or poured, or sprinkled, makes no difference to me. That an infant is baptized and considered to be born-again because of that baptism does. I do not believe that infant baptism results in the infants salvation. I do not believe it is implied in any...

The process of sanctification occurs after one is born-again. An infant is not born-again by water baptism. Stranger

No, I'm saying that sickness can be the result of sin, just as I showed you. That the leadership of the Church has authority, I do not disagree. The point here however is that the one being healed is a believer already. And if his sickness is due to sin, it shall be forgiven. In other...

Sanctification is not the removal of sin which is what you say occurs when an infant is water baptized. Go back and reread #(997) Stranger

Who cares? The subject is not about the method one baptizes. I have no problem with any of the methods. The key question is the faith of the believer coming to be baptized. Stranger

Again, the person in (James 5:14-15) is already a believer. They already have faith. Your comparison is not valid. The faith of others does not cause God to remove sin from anyone. The infant has no faith. Abuse of the Lord's Supper is a sin. Thus sickness can result from sinning...

You are quite welcome. I believe you will like it. Stranger

Who cares? Immersion is not the issue. Infant baptism is. Nice try, Eienstein, on your attempt of diversion. Your are the diversion king. Stranger

Was that a sin? Violating the Lords Supper? And because it was a sin, many were sick. Which shows you don't know what you are talking about. A persons sickness can or cannot be the result of sin. The fact remains that the person in question in (James 5:14-15) is already a Christian...

I was deliberately addressing your post #(994). And there (James 5:14-15) was not the issue. Stranger

There is a very good book I think you might enjoy. It is called "God's Secretaries, The Making of the King James Bible". It is very good, and readable. It is by Adam Nicolson. Stranger

If it has nothing to do with infant baptism, why do you use it? You say (Matt. 19:14) or (Luke 18:16) it has nothing to do with water baptism. I agree, it does not. But you use it to support your infant water baptism. You identify infant water baptism with circumcision which you say...

As said, this pertains to a believer. And why would would we be told that "If they have sinned, they will be forgiven". Why? Because it is possible that the sins may have caused the sickness. (1 Cor. 11:29-30) "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to...

I have already told you that (Matt. 19:14) says nothing of infant baptism. All you have done is jump on the merry go round and start all over. You have nothing more to offer. If any of your so called church fathers believe infant baptism results in the salvation of the infant, then they are...

That the one in the book of James is forgiven is not about eternal life. It is about sins that caused the believers sickness. He is already a believer. Baptism is not the issue here. Stranger
