would I be expected to fully believe in Luther's small catechism? I take up issue with baptismal regeneration and literal Christ's body and blood in with and under the elements. Otherwise I do believe baptism and the Lord's supper is very important and relevant in our walk with Christ. I can...
Hello again, :) my next concern is, when you baptize an infant does it mean each one is saved? From what I understand unconditional election has God saving people according to His own will and timing. It seems not all infants will be saved at baptism, perhaps some at a later time in life.
So...
Lutherans believe Jesus ascended physically into heaven and Angel's said He would return in like manner but yet you guys believe in His physical presence in the Supper. How does that work?
Ok but I really thought it was His real blood and body. Isn't that what the small catechism says?
I understand we can't observe His body and blood in the supper. But a passage Lutherans use has Jesus saying my flesh I real food and my blood is real drink, something like that
According to the old covenant the consumption of human flesh and blood was prohibited. How can Lutherans say that Jesus' literal body and blood are in the elements? There are many passages in the bible that are meant to be symbolic such as Jesus is the door or chief cornerstone, etc.
Do the mennonites and other anabaptists believe the gifts of tongues, interpretation Of tongues, gifts of healing, word of knowledge and prophecy can be practiced today?
Hellos, I wonder if you lutherans have experienced answered prayer? Did you feel closer to God when you prayed regularly? Do you use prayer books as well?
Hello, what is the LCMS view of the end times? I understand they are amillenial but what do they expect to happen between now and the Lord's return? Where do they see Israel in prophecy? I'm looking for a fuller understanding of what to expect from here on out.
Thanks for your reply tulc. Im ok with either nkjv or kjv. I was thinking the king james study bible from thomas nelson, notes look very anabaptist it seems, i know it has an independent baptist slant.
Hello, I was interested in buying a new study bible but which ones would you say are anabaptist in nature, such as teachings in the footnotes, etc? I'm thinking the king james or new king james would be most appropriate. What say ye? :D
I have been tempted these days to try hooking up. You see I've been praying to God for a wife but the thing is I am unable to make a big income and still live with my folks. Yet so many christian women at my age must have had many men and I don't want such a woman. I'm trying to keep lust in...
hello again. been busy with work. I don't mean to make straw man arguments. just trying to undertand lutheran baptism more since im considering becoming a confessional lutheran :D
I do hear that one who dies before getting baptize will still be saved as long as they don't despise baptism. Is...
Hello folks, I understand lutherans believe God chooses whom He will save and draws us to Him so does that still mean that every infant baptized will be saved? i believe lutherans believe that the Holy Spirit will work faith in the infant at baptism, correct?
I see many twenty somethings in church Sunday morning but where do they usually congregate during the week? I don't see them at Wed. night Bible study. I want to hang out more with people my age and perhaps get a girlfriend to. :D
