    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I guess you missed the part that Christ was baptized in water....LOL...and all the other references to water baptisms in the Bible and all the references to water baptisms in early church writings.....and not to mention 2000 years of Christians being baptized in water. Never once do the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    First off there is no water cult, it is what the Bible and history teaches. When John the Baptist was baptizing for the remission of sins, it was not the water that washed away sins, it was the event. Christ understood what it meant. Christian baptism is where the concept of a born again...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    This is where being a historian can help with understanding the Bible and Christianity. Lets say two friends are in a boat talking about Yeshua….in the 1st century ….and one says to the other, I think we aught to go and get baptized, and the other agrees. Now what do you think was going on in...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Love the Baptists and the history of the Anabaptists...... The Puritans fled Europe and the Catholic Church to practice their beliefs freely but, because they had the same hangup that the Catholic Church did....ie....thinking they were the one true church.....they were not tolerant of the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Mary you should follow your own advise......learn history. The Catholic Church killed tens of thousands......But did it? Did the Pope and the Bishops take their swords and get on horses and go out and kill people? No, that is not really the point. Today we have separation of Church and...

    If everyone agreed, there wouldn't be much point to a forum - Agree, or disagree? - LOL

    Doctrinal unity? It was not even possible in the biblical era. Obviously doctrinal division is not the answer either. 30,000 plus denominations attempting to define their own doctrines and in any church the beliefs in the pews are different than the official doctrines of any one denomination. It...

    If everyone agreed, there wouldn't be much point to a forum - Agree, or disagree? - LOL

    Denominations is what they call them today, not that they agree on that....even the word religion. Everyone would like to claim to be a follower of Christ...denominations, religions, people....It has not worked so far. A Pauline church? I am not sure about that. You might consider the rest of...

    If everyone agreed, there wouldn't be much point to a forum - Agree, or disagree? - LOL

    I wonder if OSAS is the religion of LGBTQ? LOL Unity of the Faith....as a Theologian that is the goal but it is also the heart of the problem. People are not going to agree even on the concept of one church. Among Protestants it is a sign of the Anti-Christ...But then how many beliefs did...

    If everyone agreed, there wouldn't be much point to a forum - Agree, or disagree? - LOL

    I fellowship with the Baptists, the Lutherans, the Pentecosts, the Catholics, the Glad Tidings Assembly of God, the Moravian Church and nearly a dozen non-denominational churches and I have had Mormon and Jewish friends from the time I was a kid. So as being tolerant to other beliefs I am more...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    From posts 271 and 272 Some profound quotes here and some have an entertainment value..... Some geniuses have to take medication so that they can talk to regular people. Some of these posts are the reason they have to do that. You do not have to be stupid to be a spiritually gifted...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    It can be that the Leader was not actually called to be a Pastor of a Church, and undertook the position, thinking that because (Daddy was the Pastor), or because they have more Theological degrees than a Thermometer, then that is " obviously God's Call on my Life". Hardly anyone can accept...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Quotes of quotes.... Quotes of Posts..... The worrisome thing is if you listen to people talk about these things, you yourself will perhaps start to doubt. That is why it's not good to heed to the "Spirit of Disbelief", in my opinion. Do you have to agree with the institutional church's...

    Warning about vaccines from doctors and scientists

    Your right that lead is no good for converters, but they did not take it out, they stopped adding it.

    Warning about vaccines from doctors and scientists

    Well I am not an anti vaxxer, not that you said I was. In the military I walked down a gauntlet of injections as they shot vaccines into my shoulders. I believe in vaccines...but now a days I am suspicious, mainly because of the obvious lies and disinformation. But the lies involved with...

    Warning about vaccines from doctors and scientists

    On the topic of the thread…. Right now you cannot get good information on the Jab. All forms of the media are in full propaganda mode with the full cooperation of the medical community….and I am plugged into the medical community….both of my kids, neither of which has taken the Jab. The Jab is...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Christ talked about entering.....Unless you have a side panel in your ribs or maybe an elevator He was talking about going somewhere. For example, speaking to the rich young ruler, Christ uses “kingdom of heaven” and “kingdom of God” interchangeably. “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘I tell...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    My answer is still, I am going to Heaven where God and the saints will be. BUT.... While some believe that the Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven are referring to different things, it is clear that both phrases are referring to the same thing. The phrase “kingdom of God” occurs 68 times in 10...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Not my first rodeo.... Suspicious of leading questions... I understand that there are different concepts of the "Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven" so I side stepped it to keep it simple.
