Baptism is not and never was a requirement for salvation. Baptism simply gets you wet. There is no impartation of grace. It certainly can't save, or forgive sins. It just gets you wet! Why is it so important for parents in the RCC to have their infants unnecessarily doused with what could be...

The Jewish religious authority, the Sanhedrin, hated Christ, were responsible for killing him. Jesus is the Word, the Logos. By His word he breathed the world and the universe into existence. He spoke and it was done. There is nothing that can be done that is done without permission from...

It is believed that all the gospels were written between A.D. 58-65. Matthew was the first of those to be written, ca. 58-60. That is where one finds the Great Commission given just before the ascension of Christ ca. 30 A.D. All of the apostles had the gospel, taught to them by the resurrected...

Don't be foolish. Martin Luther has nothing to do with sola scriptura. "sola"--alone. "scriptura"--Scripture. The Scripture alone is our authority; that is, it is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice. No need to bring Martin Luther or any other of the Reformers into the...

I didn't notice and no offence was or is taken.

As I remember it: When the Catholics receives the wafer he swallows it whole. But when the Baptists receives the bread/cracker/etc. he chews it up thoroughly. That must really horrify you! Actually your premise is wrong and thus your conclusion is wrong. The fact that is symbolic has no...

I answered this for you once but you never replied. Even by Catholic standards the Magesterium is the teaching authority of the RCC of which the pope is the head. There was no pope until about the fourth century and you can't prove there was. You must supply the evidence. Peter never was a pope...

Jesus did not speak of the Eucharist. You are reading into the Scripture what you want to read into it. He didn't speak of flying saucers either. Here is what was said: John 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? --Why did...

I have two baptismal certificates. I still have the one that the RCC gave my parents when I was baptized as an infant. Before my mother died she gave those sort of things back to her children. But that really isn't baptism in the sight of God. Call it a "Christening" or some other sort of...

John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. John 10:11 I...

Actually, there probably were 2nd and 3rd Baptist churches. Now think this through carefully and objectively. Here is what happened: Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. --The 3,000 were added to...

Are you familiar with that church in Acts chapter two, that one where 3,000 were saved and baptized in one day. Well, that was the First Baptist Church of Jerusalem. I thought everyone knew that. Its just a common fact. :)

Think of it as a marriage. There was a time when I got to know about my future wife (engagement) There was a time when I became acquainted with the facts of the gospel and the Holy Spirit began to work in my life. There was a time when by faith I decided to ask my wife to marry me. It was...

It is a book explaining the SBC's statement of faith. I didn't actually quote from the Statement of Faith. The statements at the end, not italicized, were my own. Deal with them. I could have explained the same thing to you. I was just saving time. I won't do it again. It will be in my own words...

Where does it say baptism in John 3:5. It doesn't. Baptism doesn't save. In Matthew 28, one had to be made a disciple first. 1. Teach him. 2. Then he needed to be saved. Saved by faith and faith alone in Christ. 3. Then he would become a follower of Christ (taught some more), thus be a...

NO! For sake of time and work let me quote what Herschel Hobbs says in the Baptist Faith and Message: The officers in a local New Testament church are pastors and deacons (Phil.1:1). The same office is variously called bishop, elder, or pastor. The qualification for pastors and deacons are set...

You are wrong. There is never one time baptism is mentioned as a requirement for salvation. It is a step of obedience after salvation. Yes, the RCC have perverted this doctrine. Salvation is by faith alone, not by works. Baptism is a work. Let's look at it this way. In John 19:30 Jesus is...

They contradict each other. Look at it this way: Which statement is correct: Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: or Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by baptism, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Only one...

Paul was a missionary and an Apostle. He traveled extensively. On three missionary journeys he established over 100 independent churches. They were not tied together by any organization. Remember they didn't have the internet, cell phones, or any kind of phone. They didn't even have a telegraph...

--I explained this passage thoroughly to you. --I have showed how this passage conforms with passage; you have it contradicting scripture. --If you believe it as handed down as a matter of faith, it is not biblical faith, it is the faith of those that spread heresy. --The Apostles NEVER...
