Infant Baptism

[Rev Randy]

Well, ive never seen water yet Christ is within me, if peter can walk on water by faith then by faith i can be saved without water. And i am.

It was good enough for Christ. It was given for us to perform in the Great Commision. But if you have found another way, I pray it works out for you. I am not being sarcastic but mean that. I hope you don't mind me praying that God will change your mind. If you do mind it wouldn't stop me but I'm hoping you don't mind.

Irs not by my choice, its just how it is, but i have grown in the spirit enough to know that God can save me anyway. i think its God given grace and faith which sustains me, God knows im baptized in my heart already and faith sustains me.

I'll leave it alone publically. I'll be praying privately.

lol

Thanks i know you mean well, however proof is in the spirit Rev, not in water. But baptism is commanded, im just saying God Himself baptized me in his spirit because i prayed about and he loves me, and i see no evidence to believe otherwise

Do we not understand that the Baby baptist was given this gift due to the righteousness of his parents? God knew how the child would be raised. He would expect nothing else from true believers. The same applies today. A true believers will not faint in instructing his/her child into the Way of Christ. Not to mention that the holy Spirit will also guide the child into all truth.

Don't think that true to be honest. Abraham's father was a pagan who worshiped many gods (Joshua 24:2), yet Abraham was loved and set apart by God. God gives every infant His Spirit, even those born to atheists parents.

Was Abraham filled with the Holy Spirit from infancy? Every Child? Scripture please.

Yes. The LORD gives every infant His Spirit though in different measure.

you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.

Thank you for that Psalm. I'll be using it in this thread.

Never seen water?

I do not believe that

 

[Rev Randy]

Never seen water?

I do not believe that

I'm ashamed to admit how long it took me to get that. He must be a thirsty booger.

Im not scared, God is with me.

you know what i mean.

 

[Rev Randy]

Im not scared, God is with me.

"Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.'

I guess I'm not as confident as you. What is the beginning of wisdom?

If I told you I had a ticket to heaven and you seen a different side, ie, I didn't, with everlasting ramifications, I would hope that you would caution me as a true friend. eg, Rom.3:18 & Rev.13:14b just for starters.

Many chuckles

I wonder what he really intended to write.

Mind you, I did enjoy it the way it was

Did you mean "I've never been baptised"?

I am not entirely sure what you intended, but what you wrote brought me a little ray of joyous hilarity

God bless.

That was what I got from it.

That seems rather unedifying, i did say im not scared because God is within me. Is that not good? Should i be snared by fear if the Lord is with me? There is a godly fear in me, yet it has a time and place, this isn't it, faith sustains me, but i plan on getting baptized any way, just because its commanded
