    Secular Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, and Secular Music in General- Is it wrong or sin?

    I have a very simple solution. Don't listen to music with lyrics. I love my electronic music, trance, dance etc. I even listen to a lot of world music and classic. No lyrics, no probs. But the music that I do listen to that has lyrics I am very careful about what they say. If it is anything...

    Mt. 19:13-15 Another Scripture misused for infant baptism is Mt. 19:13-15: Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder...

    Final Post – Going on holidays. I was wondering if you were going to use that passage as a reason for definition. Here is the rest of the website that I got the material from. Infant Baptism—Is It Christian? Dan Corner Permission to reproduce this article is hereby granted, but only in its...

    It is damn obvious then that the passages that you have quoted do not refer to infants but to children who were capable of understanding the message of Jesus Christ. As shown above your infant faith is nothing more than a blatant twisting of the word paidion to suit your own doctrine...

    No read again, it says child, which you assume and infer to mean infant. Again you change it here too. You say infant child. The passage does not say infant child, it just says child. Which you assume to include infants. If he uses a more general term then all he is doing is saying “all...

    Baby baptism

    The reason for this "rule" (as you put it) is that the passages are talking about the Old Covenant which to my mind does not have any relevance to this conversation. Christ has done away with the order of the Old Testament and the Covenant given to the Israelites. Our faith is based on Christ’s...

    61] But these people, the fanatics, are so blinded that they do not see the Word and command of God, and regard Baptism and the magistrates only as they regard water in the brook or in pots, or as any other man; and because they do not see faith nor obedience, they conclude that they are to be...

    Comments on Luthers Catechism Here are some of my comments on Luther’s catechism. Mine are in bold and usually address the underlined sections. 47] Here a question occurs by which the devil, through his sects, confuses the world, namely, Of Infant Baptism, whether children also...

    Authority of New Testament As to the authority of the New Testament. That is where we experience Christ in his completeness. As I said before the New Testament, while having the Old Testament as a historic background (from which we can shown lessons), is the source of the teachings of Christ...

    This was originally going to be a reply PM to Big Norsk, but hey I have some free time. As always I have included headings. It is more in line with answering BigNorsks questions and accusations. I will be absent for a while so don’t expect me to jump on any replies you might have. Infants...

    Baby baptism

    I have said in the past that the offer of salvation of God through Jesus is available to ALL people young and old. “All” meaning “every single one”. When I use the word infant I am referring to new born babies. They are still saved by Christ’s death, but once they come to hear and understand the...

    Baby baptism

    I’m out. I have better things to do with my time than to debate pointlessly with you. It’s pretty obvious that we will not convince each other either way so I am going to do something more constructive with my time, like fight my depression. I am not running away, I am not giving up, I just have...

    Baby baptism

    I re-read the article you posted earlier about the lutheran teaching of baptism. I was hoping that I might have missed something. But no i hadn't. The part that I have trouble with is this; "But the Gospel and sacraments (Baptism and the Lord's Supper) are God's instruments through which He...

    Baby baptism

    Lutherans teach that you receive grace when you are baptised in water, correct, yes, no. If you do then that is salvation by works because you receive your salvation as a resuilt of doing something physical. If you beleive that by being physically baptised in water you will receive the grace of...

    I also study the subject seriously. What I don’t do is take other extra biblical texts and try to force the teachings of the Bible to fit with those extra biblical ideas. In the case of the Roman Catholics they have introduced the concepts of praying to the saints (idolatry, oh look I spelled it...
