John Wesley on Water Baptism I. 1. That it is. It is the initiatory sacrament, which enters us into covenant with God. It was instituted by Christ, who alone has power to institute a proper sacrament, a sign, seal, pledge, and means of grace, perpetually obligatory on all Christians. We know...

Martin Luther on Water Baptism Among Martin Luther’s greatest contributions to the world is how the washing of water in the name of the Triune God, amid the gathered Christian assembly, is at the heart of one’s entire life as a Christian. In the fourth and final question, Luther purposefully...

The Early Church Fathers on the topic of Water Baptism is Necessary for salvation Irenaeus (120?-200), “'And dipped himself,' says [the Scripture], 'seven times in Jordan.' It was not for nothing that Naaman of old, when suffering from leprosy, was purified upon his being baptized, but it...

1st Peter 3:20-22 who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from...

Like you ladies I did not know for a long time how the process worked. Family owned farms.

Which has nothing to do with the fact that I said we are to rebuke false teachers. That is COMMANDED in Scripture. It IS following the Lord to rebuke false teaching (such as LDS). Man you have to be kidding! Christianity own satanic organization....,the Calvinists...born from hell. And you are...

It is very important to take the words of men, 1500 plus years after that fact....surely they know more than those that knew and were disciples of the apostles....I have a guy down the road here that thinks he has the Protestants beat....Wait another couple hundred years and maybe we will...

Judgment and hypocrisy Matthew 7:1-5 Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own...

Scriptures for those that think you can sin and will definitely be judged for it. Genesis 4:7 “If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.” Luke 14:26-27 “If anyone comes to...

Scriptures for those that believe that Christians cannot sin…. Romans 4:15 “for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there violation.” 1st John 3:9 “No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of...

Paul, Peter, John, Mark, and Matthew, is there anyone in the Bible that does not preach that Baptism is part of the process of salvation. Paul preaches against works...not Baptism. Against the works of the Law, not Baptism. Anytime the process is discussed in detail...as in, this is what you...

The respect side of love....

You guys going to talk around me like I'm a little gnat or something? I am a daughter of the Most High God! I've only ever put one person on ignore. That doesn't include either of you (even though your comments tempt me at times, Giuliano) What!????

Just about the time you think you have the higher theological points down.....they trip you up by throwing in the simplest of terms .....grace...definition of the word.... By God's love we are saved.

None of that is correct....start over....I keep telling you and you keep getting mixed up

which you posited as not necessarily always being present. No no...Holy Spirit always present, so required or necessary is not words that are needed. Tongues and prophecy....always good but not required for salvation. You can count them up, but I don't think we are going to get an exact percentage.
