    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    No “bullies” here. As I’ve warned BOTH of you – don’t LIE – and you’ll never hear from me. A bully is a person who unfairly assaults a weaker person for NO reason other than to show how “tough” he is. All I’m doing is holding you accountable for your nonsense - unless you think you ARE weaker...

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    Only the ones I catch lying. I leave everybody else alone . . .

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    Yup, I guess I'd resort to idiotic baseball euphemisms too, if I just lost an argument . . .

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    That’s fine – because I don’t belong to the “Roman” Catholic Church. I’m not even sure if that entity exists. MY Church – the Church that goes ALL the way back to the Apostles is “The Catholic Church”. “Roman” simply refers to the Liturgical Rite that I belong to – of which there are some...

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    The example s of the Holy Spirit being bestowed upon some prior to Baptism in the NT was the exception and NOT the norm. That’s where YOU do off the rails . . . Simple hermeneutical rule: NEVER form your doctrines around the exception . . .

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    Yes, that promise (Acts 2:39) is the gift of the Holy Spirit – that comes from WATER BAPTISM. When Nicodemus asked Jesus how a man is born AGAIN - Jesus responded: John 3:5 “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of WATER AND THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Pretty...

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    As I educated you before – walking “down” into a river or lake is a matter of simple physics. Nobody walks “UP” into the water, Einstein. You walk DOWN into a lake and come UP out of a lake. It has ZERO to do with total immersion. Oh – and you DIDN’T address the fact that there is not ONE...

    I rest my case . . .

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    I see you’re still under the delusion that the Bride of Christ is your online paramilitary cult - “aggressivechristianity.net”. Not so, my confused friend. Their beginnings can only be traced back to 1980 – unlike the Catholic Church, which can be traced ALL the way back to the Apostles . . .

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    As Paul stated: 1 Cor. 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. You sit in judgement without...

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    You are a PERFECT example of why Sola Sciptura is a man-made farce. You reject everything that is not explicitly spelled out in Scripture - yet everything you are describing is NOT in Scripture. You're a living, breathing contradiction, Einstein . . .

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    By all means, John probably DID immerse. We're NOT talking about the Baptism of John, however - but the Baptism of CHRIST, Einstein . . .

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    There is not ONE SINGLE example of a Baptism ceremony in ALL of the NT. Not ONE example of the words being spoken - not ONE example of HOW the Baptism was performed. For this - we must rely on Christ's Supreme earthly Authority - His Church (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John...

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    Nope - but YOU always stop at Acts 2:38, instead of continuing to the neXt verse, which says: 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.” Tell me - how did all those 8-day-old BABIES enter a Covenant...

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    EVERYBODY who goes into a river comes "UP" from it. Nobody walks "down" out of a river, Einstein . . .

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    Jesus Christ said to Baptize in the name of the FATHER and of the SON an d of the HOLY SPIRIT (Matt. 28:19). Acts 2:38 is simply referring to Baptizing with the Baptism of Jesus - by His Authority. We've already been over this, sparky.

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    Not "grouchy" at all - just telling it like it is. By the way - we're not "compadres". Compadre is a term that is used for a person who is the Godfather of my child or vice versa. I would only have a Christian as my child's Godparent. Non-Trinitarians aren't Christians by definition.

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    We don't "sprinkle" babies, Einstein. But, how could I expect a person as ignorant as yourself to know this? We baptize them by pouring water over the head as prescribed in the first century document, The Didache (Teachings of the Twelve Apostles). If you could find me a verse of Scripture...

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    Nope - Acts 2:38 is absolutely about Trinitarian Baptism, YOU have perverted it to mean that it is ONLY in the name of Jesus and not the Trinity. Ummmmmm, we've been through this - don't you remember, Einstein??

    WHY IS THE CHURCH GOING OUT BACKWARD?

    No, just lies - like the ones YOU tell about non-Trinitarian Baptism and your "shepherd-phobia" . . .
