The church consists of all those who believe on Jesus Christ for salvation; and who are born again of the Holy Spirit: the body of Christ: Christians.
Can you show me where the BIBLE makes this claim?

MY Bible states that it consists of those who are Baptized into the Church (John 3:5, Acts 2:38-40, Rom
6:1-11, Col. 2:12-15, 1 Pet. 3:21)
- NOT those who simply "believe."

Even the DEMONS believe in the truths about God (James 2:19) . . .

Another idiotic and factually bankrupt statement.

Do your homework, dude . . .
I posted a baby being baptized with a ball shaped eye dropper.
What is that sacred baptismal gadget called anyway?

I never saw that picture.
However, you're showing how ignorant you are by calling it an "eyedropper".

I thought you said you were once a Catholic.
You're as fraudulent as "Sister" Charlotte, aka, Charlotte Wells, aka Carlotte Keckler . . .

You mean I have to kiss the Popes ring to find enlightenment?
By the way - are you EVER going to answer the question I have asked FOUR times now??

HOW were 3000 people Baptized in Jerusalem on Pentecost if there was no river to immerse them in??

How do you know there was no bath water in Jerusalem?
Does the RCC teach that too?

Contrary to fundamentalist belief, the remedy for easy-believism is not legalism; the reverse applies to liberal churches.

Where was there a bath big enough for 3000 people?
There wasn't, which means that they were Baptized by pouring over the head, as is described in the 1st century document, The Didache (Teachings of the Twelve Apostles).

First of all – there is no “Virgin’s Pool. There was the “Fountain of the Virgin,” named after Jesus’ Mother Mary, who, according to legend, washed his swaddling cloth there. It was a spring that fed the “Pool of Siloam", and is said to have been used for drinking water and irrigationNOT bathing.

As for “Upper Gihon” and “Lower Gihon” – these weren’t pools either. Gihon was also a spring that was used as a fresh water source. The word “Gihon” is derived for the word meaning “gush forth”.

Now, back to the Pool of Siloam – it was a pool that was used for JEWISH Ritual Cleansing. The Priests and scribes would NEVER have allowed the Apostles to use it to baptize people in the Baptism of Christ.

Try again . . .
