Yes, thank you for the clarification. I should have been clearer in my description. The "Trinity" of Mormonism is polytheistic, not monotheistic, making their "Trinitarian" baptism invalid. From Joseph Smith: "I have always declared God to be a distinct personage, Jesus Christ a separate and...

More crickets . . . WHAT is the big secret?? Can ANYBODY tell me where the tradition of dunking people backwards in the water during Baptism came from? Anybody at all . . .

It's NO use trying to get CoreIssue to debate on his own. ALL he ever uses are those asinine anti-Catholic videos. It's the reason his own debate site died and he came here looking for new members. Looks like SOMEbody forgot to tell him that the Vatican is NOT built on the "Seven Hills" of...

I already told you. And I will GLADLY tell you again - just as soon as YOU tell ME where the Protestant tradition of dunking people backwards during Baptism came from. I honestly don't understand what the big secret is . . .

ALL who have been Baptized in the Trinitarian Baptism have been Baptized into the Christian faith. Whether or not they continued in faith is another story. Now - a Mormon Baptism is NOT a Trinitarian Baptism - even though they baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit because they...

WRONG again. Oil doesn't heal the person - and neither does touching them. Those are simply the MEANS of healing that GOD prescribed. Water is simply the MEANS by which GOD prescribed that we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit at Baptism (John 3:5, Acts 2:38). YOUR lack of faith in the process...

Apparently I DID hit a nerve since neither YOU nor @Pearl have been willing to tell me. What's the big secret?

Since I am the one who asked the question in the first place - repeatedly, I might add - it would only be fair that MY question be answered first. After that I would be MORE than happy to answer your question. Now - Where does the tradition of banding people over backwards and dunking them in...

Water is the means by which we receive the Holy Spirit at Baptism. Tell me - why is a person anointed when they are sick as per James 2:14?? Don't they just get greasy?? How about the laying on of hands to be healed (Acts 28:8) or to confer the Holy Spirit as per (Acts 8:17). Isn't that just...

Crickets . . .

I think I hit a nerve . . .

Just curious. Why do Protestants baptize in this manner? Can YOU answer this?

Not trying to "change" anything. I was going to include the fact that you CANNOT be a Christian without being Baptized - which the video leaves out . . .

That's NOT what the Bible says . . . 1 Pet. 3:19-22 In it he also went to preach to the spirits in prison, who had once been disobedient while God patiently waited in the days of Noah during the building of the ark, in which a few persons, eight in all, were saved through water. This...

Has anybody actually watched this video? I normally don't watch posted videos - but had a few extra minutes. This video claims that to be a Christian: - ALL you have to do is "believe". - There is nothing else you need to DO. The BIBLE, however, states that even the DEMONS believe and...

Since it appears that @Pearl has me on “ignore” – can ANY of you out there tell me where the tradition of dunking a person backwards in the water came from during Baptism? Just curious . . .

Hi Pearl - I was asking sincerely. Can you answer my question from post #913? I asked: Quick question - and please don't take this the wrong way because I certainly don't mean any insult by it, but - where do you suppose the method of leaning the person backward in the water came from? I only...

First of all - YOU showed med nothing. I am the one who has been arguing the necessity of Baptism all along - NOT you. I'm also the one who pointed to the prophecy in Ezekiel 36:25-27 - NOT you. Secondly - you LIE when you claim that I say it is the WATER that saves us. I never said this -...

WRONG. Matt. 3:13-17 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John...

Wrong. OSAS is not a Christian doctrine. This myth is a doctrine of men invented in the 16th century by your Protestant Fathers. NOWHERE do the Scriptures guarantee that you can never fall away and be lost - when you read the Bible in its proper context. The problem with you OSASers is that...
