Refuse To Be Baptized?

[Ben1445]

I dont

Sorry, I misunderstood you when you said,

Why? Or are you accusing me of not serving the bretheren? Over the years, I’ve witnessed many insincere baptisms. In that case, I wouldn’t consider any ritual as legitimate and binding.

 

[Scripture More Accurately]

What in the world? Me "claiming that we are not supposed to disciple people"???? What on earth made you think that? I am 100% in favor of biblical discipling. And a part of that is teaching the new convert what baptism is and why they should be baptized. I'll attach several photos of people I baptized in Japan, just so anyone who reads your post won't be fooled about me. In particular, U. San (the man with the graying hair) was a Yakuza gangster whose home I went to weekly for many, many months. For Mrs. Hayashizaki, I was so committed to baptizing her I built our own baptistry--in the kitchen of our tiny Japanese apartment.

My comment was in response to your saying the following about me:

If I go your direction, then apparently the soul winner wins someone to Christ, but then is not responsible to disciple them, teaching them about baptism and teaching them "all things" that Jesus had commanded.

I never said anything that supports your even suggesting that I hold such a view or my "direction" is such and such.

As a clarification, what I should have said was the following:

"I have not said anything that supports your statement that 'my direction is that we are not supposed to disciple people . . .'"

Hello,

What is meaning of the response not in union with Christ if not baptized?

The Romans verse is about water baptism?

I am not at a Baptist church.

They refuse to let me do communion if I am not water baptized.

I am spiritually baptized into Christ and a Christian.

What church do you go to? I know you mentioned availability of Baptist churches being a problem. I’m assuming that the statement in question is from the church. It would be helpful to know what kind of church they are, to know what they mean.

I am in China.

Its non-denomination.

They do sprinkle since there is no pool.

Though maybe influenced by missionary who started church.

Not Baptist.
