Sooooooo, where does the Bible say that the Bible is our SOLE Authority?

Baptism represents new life in the Spirit. Apparently, you haven't READ John 3:5, Col. 2:11-12 or Acts 2:38 . . . It only represents death to the former SELF.

Ummmmmm, the Catholic Church is the Original Tree from which ALL Protestantism splintered a mere 500 years ago - and continues to splinter. The idea that ANY one of the tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant sects is the "ONE" Church that Jesus built 2000 years...

ALL I asked for was a verse of Scripture that proclaims the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura. If you can't provide one - just admit it. there is NO need, however, to make such a dramatic exit just because I asked you to prove your position. In the end - t appears that you "shall not...

Did the babies in the Old Testament "Die" upon being circumcised and entering into the Covenant with God? NO - they were circumcised and entered into the Covenant - and raised in the faith by their parents. This is the way it is with the circumcision of Christ (Col. 2:11-12). Children will NOT...

That's great - as long as you understand that Christ's Church is is Body and He is the Head (1 Cor. 12:12-31, Eph. 4:3-6, Col. 1:8). - Jesus is Truth itself (John 14:6) - and He promised His Church that the Holy Spirit would guide her to ALL Truth (John 16:12-15). - Jesus told the leaders of...

So they, too can be reborn and receive the Holy Spirit, per Acts 2:39 . . . For the promise is for you and for your CHILDREN and for all who are far off, EVERYONE whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” Pretty simple, really . . .

Thanks for responding. However - I'm STILL waiting for a verse that state that Scripture is our SOLE Authority. That is what the false Protestant invention of Sola Scriptura is all about - and what the Protestant Revolt was built upon. If you don't have Scriptural proof for a doctrine that...

Babies couldn't read in the Old Testament either - but that didn't stop God's people from following His command to have them circumcised in order for them to enter the Covenant with Him.

BINGO.

Nope. That's why I warned you to NEVER base your doctrines on the exception. God knows the heart - and THAT'S why the Thief on the cross was an exception. He was UNABLE to be Baptized because he was "busy" being executed. The SAME goes for any member of Cornelius's family or YOU in a car...

My doctrinal view on Acts 2:39 includes the next verse as well: Acts 2:38-39 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be BAPTIZED every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you AND FOR YOUR...

Ahhhh, yes, the "Cornelius" argument. Once again, I must warn you - NEVER base your doctrines on the exception. Being born again is NOT about how we "feel". It is about having new life in Christ - on HIS terms. Jesus 's command is that WATER and Spirit is what makes us born again. It's NOT...

The Church is the BODY of Christ - not merely an individual FROM that Body. YOU are not the Church and neither is @Pearl. Collectively, the BODY of Christ is the Church. Anyway - WHO said anything about a "building"? Certainly not @Marymog . . .

Those are exceptions. A little hint: NEVER base your doctrines on the exception because there are exceptions to virtually EVERY rule. You were born again at Baptism, per Jesus (John 3:5).

Interesting . . .

Then, why are you posting on a debate site? This should be interesting . . .

Amen. However - the Holy Spirit, speaking through Paul differentiates the ORAL Teaching of the Word and the WRITTEN teaching of the Word. Each are EQUALLY binding on us: 2 Thess 2:15 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught, whether by an ORAL STATEMENT or by a LETTER from...

Because ALL have been given the choice - but NOT all will choose it (Matt. 7:13).

So does GOD (1 Tim. 2:3-4). Unfortunately, MANY won't (Matt. 7:13).
