I don't believe a person can baptize themselves. That sort of takes away from there being a witness to it. Any Christian can do it. Stranger

I believe it is important to have a fellowship of local believers. It doesn't have to be a traditional church. It can be just meeting with one another on a regular basis at your homes. Membership would not or should not be required though there is nothing wrong with having a membership. I...

Yes, you should be baptized. You haven't been baptized yet as you made no confession of your faith as an infant. You won't be putting Christ back on the Cross. You will be pleasing Him in being baptized. Stranger

Zetetica Appreciate that testimony. Hope you have found a good Church fellowship to belong to. Do be careful on Christian forums, as not everything you will read is Christian, or correct doctrine wise. Stranger

I could exchange the name of Jesus with Gandhi every time it is used, and that would make Gandhi the saviour. I could do a lot when I exchange what is written with what is not. (1 Thess. 2:13) contrasts the word of men with the Word of God. It speaks to that which is spoken. It is not...

If you are referring to post #(170) I wasn't trying to quote you. I just said what you said. There was no dishonesty there. The phrase I was referring to was the one in question. I understood exactly what you meant by it. And the inference is that you did not agree. It doesn't matter...

Propagandist Mary I have told you. Back when the Country was Christian. Are you saying you would rather the country not be Christian? Stranger

No, I understood you very well. That you have nothing to say is proof. That is the way it is with all those who hate God and choose some form of unbelief, whether it be agnosticism, atheism, or whatever. Just another ism. Jump on the bandwagon and let's go bash Christians. Yet you...

Propagandist Mary You say you agree with me that the 1960's and 70's were the tipping point of when Christianity was no longer the engine that moved the country. But, you don't want to go back to that time, when Christianity moved the country. Which tells me you like where we are today as...

I would say the tipping point came in the 1960's and 70's. The revolution that occurred was secular in nature. The God is dead philosophy which had been taught for years in the colleges was taking root. It was a rebellion against any authority and God and His rule over us. Because it was...

Of course we are fixated on God and Christ. We are His sons and daughters. He is our Father and Brother. The Bible is His written Word to us, for what we need here. This is why Jesus Christ when enduring the temptations of satan, said, 'It is written'. (Matt. 4:4,7,10) Another thing is...

FatalMoves So, is this the depth of your knowledge concerning your doubt? Cartoons? Typical. Stranger

(1 Thess. 2:13) Compare that to (2 Peter 3:15-16) Of course if you don't believe the Bible is the Word of God, then it really doesn't matter what it says as it has no authority. Stranger

Of course you doubt. Your doubt doesn't change anything. Stranger

That which I know about God comes via the Spirit. From His Spirit to my spirit. The believer doesn't just have a physical brain, but he has a spiritual mind. That continues on after death. This is the area where the believer knows the things about God and Christ are true and so believes...

He is already God. Your unbelief does nothing to Him. So, you are not agnostic. You are just antagonistic towards God. Stranger

No, Christian belief didn't tear you down. Your unbelief tore you down. Your rejection of God and Christ tore you down. As I said, you don't know if God exists or not. You don't know the truth. But you reject the God of the Bible because you don't like Him. Are you really agnostic? Or...

What is that supposed to mean? And, why didn't you answer my question in post #(24)? Stranger

Your proof that unbelief leads to agnosticism. Not belief. Stranger

So, you don't know if God exists. You don't know the truth. You don't know if the God of the Bible is God, because you don't like Him. Is that correct? Belief in God does not force one to agnosticism. Unbelief forces one to agnosticism. Stranger
