You NEVER did until the 16th century . . .

And neither do I belong to any denomination. The Catholic Church is the Original Tree from which Protestantism splintered into factions - NOT the other way around . . .

No - I am simply READING the passage. It is blindingly clear that Jesus is telling Nicodemus what Ezekiel prophesied about Baptism. It is YOUR denominational bias that is blinding you to this reality . . .

If the prophecy about the Baptism of WATER and SPIRIT in Ezekiel 36:25-27 and the fulfillment in John 3:5 is a denominational "ball and chain" to you - then you’re more BLIND than I thought . . .

Without obedience, you cannot HOPE to be saved (Matt 7:21, 25:31-46, James 2:19) . . .

You left the Catholic Church for another version of Christianity and you claim that you’re NOT a Protestant?? YOU are a TEXTBOOK example of what a Protestant is. There are only THREE kinds of Christian - and by "Christian" I mean Trinitarian: - Catholic - Orthodox - Protestant Everything else...

As I told you before - that is a LIE. I just got done comparing the 2 passages in Scripture for you: the Prophecy from the OT (Ezek. 36:25-27) and the Fulfillment from the NT (John 3:5). Either you're really dense - or you're simply being dishonest again. And what part of PROPHECY do you not...

And that's a big fat LIE for which I have already proven you WRONG . . . Ezekiel 36:25-27 I will sprinkle clean WATER over you to make you clean; from all your impurities and from all your idols I will cleanse you. I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. I will...

Yup – it bothers me ALMOST as much as the almost 72,000 Catholics butchered by Henry VIII. It also disturbs me ALMOST as much as the 45,000 Catholics his daughter Elizabeth I murdered and starved to death during HER reign of terror. There were MANY other smaller incidents of Protestants...

Now there's an intelligent response . . .

I DON’T accuse Paul of easy-believism - I’m accusing YOU guys of it because you don’t understand Scripture. This is simply another case of cherry-picking verses. I’ll do the SAME thing. According to the following verses, to be saved, you MUST: - Sell everything you have and give it to the...

And I have repeatedly proved you WRONG that Faith does NOT = Belief. Belief is simply a component of Faith. James 2:19 CLEARLY states that even the DEMONS believe – so YOU are no better off than they are if that’s what you think . . . STUDY your Bible – don’t just quote it . . .

Circumcision was the way a Jew entered the Covenant with God. Baptism is the way WE enter the NEW Covenant with God. Newborn BABIES were Circumcised at 8 days old. These babies were raised in the Jewish faith by their parents/guardians. Newborn BABIES are now Baptized. These babies are raised...

Once again - read posts 514 and 517 and consider yourself Scripturally-SPANKED . . .

Because we're NOT discussing Infant Baptism. ONE argument at a time. If you want to discuss that - it will be a separate discussion. Now - address the verses I have presented already regarding Baptismal Regeneration . . .

I just PROVED to you that it isn't true (James 2:19). Time for another Bible lesson . . . Simply believing and thinking that this is enough to save you is called "easy-believism" - and it is anti-Biblical. Faith is an ACTION word. Faith = Belief + Works (obedience). Jesus said explicitly that...

Tell that to GOD, who inspired Ezekiel to write: Ezekiel 36:25-27 I will sprinkle clean WATER over you to make you clean; from all your impurities and from all your idols I will cleanse you. I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. I will remove the heart of stone...

Like I said - CONTEXT is your worst enemy. Go back and read posts 514 and 517, where I gave you a Scriptural spanking . . .

No - I just love catching the errors of Scripturally-ignorant people like yourself . . .

Actually - that's NOT true . . . James 2:19 You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the DEMONS BELIEVE that and tremble. Acts 8:35-38 Then Philip opened his mouth and, beginning with this scripture passage, he proclaimed Jesus to him. As they traveled along the road they came to some...
