    Baptism for salvation?

    I also believe that being baptized as an infant counts and meets the requirements. I seen the comment that if a child of 11 or 12 gets baptized just to please their parents then they're really just getting dunked on the water. I'm not sure I believe this. Even if you're own faith is lacking, you...

    Baptism for salvation?

    Those were exactly my thoughts. I also think that it is part of becoming a Christian. Many people argue that you become a Christian first. I was using the conversion to Judaism as an example but since someone thinks it's unworthy of comment I'll try to use another. Let's say you wanted to join...

    Baptism for salvation?

    Oh ok. I would comment, but your comment just isn't worth commenting on.

    Baptism for salvation?

    Thank you for clarifying this. I had a friend who tried to use the same argument and for some reason couldn't find it at the time. I'm guessing it is because of what you had stated. If faith/belief came before baptism then I'd probably start questioning the legitimacy of my own baptism and I...

    How do you explain the existence of evil, despite God being almighty, and all knowing, and perfect love?

    Doesn't sound biblical. Romans 1:18-19 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

    Is it a good idea to state that God loves all?

    I really wish people would post more stuff like this. It makes me want to dive deeper in to this: If they break my statutes and do not keep my commandments, then I will punish their transgression...Nevertheless my lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him. (Psalm 89:31-33) My take is...

    In a rare scenario, if a Christian were to be falsely imprisoned and beaten, should they confess to something they didn't do to stop the beating?

    Both Abraham and Isaac lied and said their wife was their sister out of fear. Peter also denied knowing Jesus. Their spirits may not be mighty, but seems understandable.

    What good have you gotten from Christians forums?

    There was a time when I came to the forums and there would be some healthy discussions going back and forth and people were spitting out scripture to back up what they were saying causing me to go and further research. I learned so much then which drove me to sign up. I don’t really see much of...

    Is it sinful to use a computer/phone which has played sinful music, has viewed sinful content, etc?

    "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." (Proverbs 4:23). I've had to cut just about everything I watch on T.V. It's been tough but I find it getting easier and easier. Some things that you can't control like the music in the marketplace, but you may find that...

    Jubilee called for the freeing of slaves but it didn't call for the ending of slavery. If it did, what would be the point of jubilee occurring every 50th year? "slaves originally in the body of Christ"... what do you mean how could believer continue to accept slavery? Apparently, there's a form...

    He Gets Us campaign

    I don't think Clare was trying to change the meaning as much as trying to put it into context. She seemed to be making a point that it was not about slavery, but it's all semantics. Paul was referring to slavery more of as a social status. Not A, but B. This could represent a shift in...

    "not as a homosexual, but as a human being" "not (just) as a homosexual, but also as a human being" Seems to be saying the same thing to me - just with a little more emphasis. Just sayin...

    He Gets Us campaign

    I think you make some really good points here. I think people talk a lot of big game about the Bible but when it comes to practical applications - I don't think they have a clue.

    He Gets Us campaign

    Are you implying that by sharing the Gospel that God will transform us in to genuinely doing things out of love rather than us just going through the motions?
