Having a good heart is not a free pass or get out of jail card. God does not waver or change his rules. If anyone thinks God will overlook things because someone has a "good heart", they are sadly mistaken. That's what the devil would like you to believe. "Few there be that find it". FEW!

If you sprinkle or pour water on unbelieving individuals, they're not saved, and if not saved, not Christians. And when you multiply that error across multitudes, you have a very large group of non-Christians who unfortunately, claim otherwise.

Yes, don't listen to the cousin of the uncle of the brother of the friend of one of the apostles. Listen only to the original as recorded in scripture.

It's no theory, that's what the scriptures say, which we can't enhance or augment as you're suggesting. You do know there were other apostles right, besides Matthias who replaced Judas, and Paul? Barnabas and Apollos. The Bible does say Barnabas and Saul (Paul) were, set apart, called out by God...

And in your response (don't know if that's your belief or not), therein lies the problem which is unscriptural as well as makes no sense. If infants don't know right from wrong, how could they have transgressed and be guilty of sin?? So, why would they need their sins washed away by baptism...

You assume to much, like "we are all Christians". That most likely is NOT true. Most don't understand that it is a process to become a Christian, and that it's not simply a state or assent of mind, or decision whereby you say to yourself, ' I think I now believe in God and Christ, and I'm gonna...

I was baptized into Christ as the scriptures teach which is the only way.

Follow the actual scriptures, where they lead you and not secondary or tertiary documents or the men that "spoke to the Apostles". I choose to follow the scriptures.

Interesting too. You never said how you came to be "in Christ", yet you claim to be a sister in Christ (I have my doubts that you understand how that happens). If that's true, you should know how you got to be "in Christ".

To clarify for you what the scriptures truly say, the account of Lydia being converted in Acts 16 doesn't say "families" nor do any other scriptures in all bibles I've checked; it either says "house" or "household". And the account of the jailer likewise says "he and his" and further goes on to...

More circles and more blah blah blah. I have a question for you which I asked before after-the-fact but received no answer as yet. Curious about your handle, Sister-n-Christ. How is it that you are in that relationship with Christ? What exactly did you do to be "in Christ"? Was it just mental...

You talk in circles and say nothing in the process

You can agree with whomever all you want, but the words of scripture ain't gonna change. There is no free pass going forward. There are remedies for subsequent sins, but no free pass. Read the Hebrew letter which is also very clear with a very clear warning to them about backsliding and...

Tons 'a stuff

What is salvation? What are we saved from? We can be lost after initial salvation. What are we actually initially saved from? Romans 3:25 says it very clearly. 25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that...

I'm confused by your previous comment to me. What exactly did you mean then about having the chicken and egg reversed or "mixed up"?

I don't know what you mean. Those that believed confessed their belief as the Ethiopian eunuch did in Acts 8, repented, as the Jews did on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, and were then baptized into Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Pretty straightforward.

Just curious also. You're calling yourself "Sister-n-Christ": how is it that you're a sister in Christ? How do I or anyone else know that you are a sister in Christ? Is it because you say so? Because of mental assent as such? How did you get to be "in Christ"? How did that happen? By what means...

Why, scripturally?

Keep on trying your darndest trying to be relevant, twisting words, language, sequence, etc. It ain't gonna work nor will it change the truth.
