I believe that probably most everyone who decides to not get vaccinated knows the possibly deadly consequences that they face in doing so. This could not be considered freedom from consequences. How many news articles have you seen of dying people who said, "I wish I had gotten the...

I have to apologize for missing the mark and wrongly stating that Christ was the first to receive new covenant baptism. John was already administering new covenant baptism to prepare a people for the Lord when Christ came to him for baptism. I should have caught the error when I proofread the...

Bro Salty, The first church at Jerusalem, in form and function closest resembles a Baptist church and it should be the effort and desire of each Baptist church to become like unto. Since Christ is the express image of the Father, and we are to be comformed to his express image then that...

Bro Thomas15- The first church was the church at Jerusalem so I don't know how the apostles could have possibly been members of another church. They were members of that church which Christ was bringing forth as the body of Christ (Mt 16:18). He said in Jn 15:16 "I have chosen you and ordained...

Bro 37818- I agree that the church must deal with openly sinful members. This is also evidenced by Mt 18:15-20. As for the Lord's remembrance, this is instructed to members in the church IN GOOD STANDING. Both examples are concerning those in the church. Remember the instruction you quoted is...

Sorry Bro KenH. I don't watch that much tv,

Bro KenH, Sorry, I don't watch TV that much

Bro KenH- I am glad you took the joke well. By the way, is that you? :):):)

Failed to finish before posting- The restriction on the observance of the Lord's supper is given to THE CHURCH by the authority of the godhead. I Cor 5:11- But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is CALLED A BROTHER be a fornicator, or covetous, or a idolator, or a...

Bro Silverhair- The Holy Spirit is given to the church and would never lead it or an individual to do that which is contrary to the scriptures. A individual that has the life of Christ, and is not a member of the church would never be lead OF THE SPIRIT to take the Lord's Supper. It is their...

Bro Balderdash said "Balderdash. Jesus certainly wasn't baptized because He had sins to repent of, nor was Jesus baptized in response to God having regenerated Him and given Him a new heart to replace a heart of stone as Christians have since Pentecost after His crucifixion." Where do you find...

Bro Salty, If a member is living in open rebellion he is to be disciplined and not allowed to eat since he would not be in fellowship with the church. If it is a sin not known by the church that only the MEMBER knows of, he is warned to repent before proceeding with the ordinance. The...

Bro RIVaughn, Amen brother.

Bro Aged Man, Paul was preaching to the members of the church at Corinth. Remember the verses come out of Corinthians. Do not destroy the scriptures by thowing it out into the world. Paul begins the letter in Cp 1 vs 2, "Unto THE CHURCH of God which is AT CORINTH. that are sanctified in Christ...

When the Son came up out of the water,the Father said, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. Christ was the first to receive the baptism of the new covenant, this representing him being the firstborn from out of the dead (ones). How could the father be pleased with the son if he...

Then His baptism was invalid and John the Baptist and Christ did not accomplish the fulfilling for all righteousness. If Christ was not be able to accomplish his will, the you really do not believe in the sovereignity of God

Bro Yeshua 1, again I ask, how would you know whether a stranger from off the street is in rebellion against God. It is not uncommon for Baptists, when excluded, to go join another Baptish church and many are readily accepted because the church they go to does not bother to question or check...

Bro Aged Man, please consider by post to Bro Yeshua 1 and a reply also to you.

Bro Yeshua 1, I do not know how much you have studied Baptist history but we know that the Baptists and AnaBaptists were slaughter by the catholics for their simply refusing to sprinkle their children. Until Vatican II in 1965 I believe, the catholics held that unless you were a catholic, you...

Bro.Aged Man, I agree with your application of entertain to a point. We see the example of angels being entertained by both Abraham and Lot. But just because they fed and housed them doesn't mean we can stretched it to allowing anyone to observe the Lord's supper with you. My cousin came to...
