“So Paul said, “Into what then were you baptized?” “Into John’s baptism,” they replied.Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus.” When they heard…

Nice sharing with you CM. Thanks for your posts.

Where did Jesus or any NT figure preach politics? “They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spiri…

I think this is just short of beastiality if we follow the logic. Some people like animals more than they do people.

Every detailed example of Baptism in Acts is in the Name of the Lord, or In the Name of Jesus Christ. None are in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

How do we discuss politics without alienating those of opposing political views? All politics, whether conservative or progressive = Carnal mindedness, with a BIG "C".

Why are Christians still affiliated with them? I think Churches have gutted the NT of Christian ethics and replaced them with traditions. Just as the Pharisees did. Dispensationalists especially since the time Scofield said the Sermon on the Moun…

Thanks for the article. I think when Rome got its tentacles into a person, it was nearly impossible to break free. And the Reformed didn't quite make it. They in fact are a "Reformed" version of the same antichrist they condemned in most of their…

I think both groups are genuinely baptized by immersion in water as believers. But I think since Baptism symbolizes Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, and identifies us with that, it is best to baptize in his name.
But I do not think …

Peter must have understood "baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" as baptizing in the personal name of the trinity - Jesus Christ. And not baptizing in the names of the roles performed by each member of the Godhead.
All…

If Indian Christians had the increasingly popular American Christian mind set, they'd start blasting away with their uzzies and a new civil war would erupt.
I got to hand it to these for their willingness to follow Christ, and not let fea…

Wow...I believe the Japanese are the most capable of all to hammer out technological solutions. And perhaps as horrible as this accident was, they will be able to provide workable solutions to those not only of ecological disasters, but to victim…

Interesting...thanks. What I notice most about the flaws in Judaism and Christianity is the replacing of scripture with tradition. And it's worse the more exposed to various christian denominations you become. And I assume Islam is the same. But …

Thanks for asking. If Peter misunderstood Jesus, then the whole church misunderstood him until the 2nd century on Baptism in Jesus' name. And he needed the Catholics to figure it out.

If Peter got it wrong, all of scripture is worthless.................Stand corrected.

History teaches the "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" method replaced Peter's "Name of Jesus Christ" method in the second century.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume II, page 263:
"The baptismal formula was changed from the name of Je…

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36) (KJV 1900)

So far in our discussions, one supporter of assault weapons thought they were necessary to fight the government if they begin killing Americans. Of course this is not the Christian's calling. But I think it speaks for the NRA mentality. Which if …

As pointed out, infant baptism is unscriptural. But even Baptists and Evangelicals who understand what the word baptism means, get it wrong, also placing catholic tradition above scripture. This when they baptize in the name of the Father, Son, a…

Son of Man also = Son the Man. So I think it represents the Son [God] in man form.

Good article. I wonder how this all plays out in God's providence. I know he says those who take the sword perish by the sword. And could it be the NRA and others taking the sword (so to speak) are not protecting anyone, but bringing God's wrath …

Thanks!

I cannot find any objective view on this yet. All I can say is that if the Jews knew what the bible said, they would not be Jews.

The Pope is part of the problem that keeps biblical Christianity out of sight. And there are plenty who insure it will suffer abundant ridicule. But who but God knows whom Jesus died for? There's always hope for even the most religious or the mos…

Great question. I think love and faith determine the proper motive for all of our actions. Are you lying if you turn on a TV or radio, and leave lights on in your home while you are away, to deceive would be thieves? So would-be thieves …
