    Earliest teaching on Baptism

    This doctrine is plainly the doctrine of the church of Christ, not of the Catholics nor the Baptists. It is plain then that neither Catholics nor Baptists then existed and that both are excluded from being the one true church, as are all that agree with either of them in their doctrine of...

    Early Christian Quotes

    Tertullian, who was earlier than Augustine and others that you quote, in his work On Modesty makes the following point in chapter XXI, saying "In Peter himself the Church was reared; that is, through Peter himself; Peter himself used the key; you see what key: 'Men of Israel, let what I say...

    It is the INDIVIDUAL not the PROCESS that is like the wind

    Jesus did NOT teach that the process of regeneration is like the wind. Jesus taught that the man who has already been regenerated is like the wind. PROOF: John 3:8 "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it...

    Are they "sheep" who do not yet believe?

    Mat 25:31-33 "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: {32} And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: {33} And...

    Earliest teaching on Baptism

    Justin Martyr, First Apology (Defense of Christianity) to the Roman government, circa 150 AD Chapter LXI.-Christian Baptism. I will also relate the manner in which we dedicated ourselves to God when we had been made new through Christ; lest, if we omit this, we seem to be unfair in the...

    privy member cut off!!

    "Why do some Christians still use the KJV...There are so many words in KJV that are no longer in use" "Privy member" is still used in modern English. Its not archaic, it's BRITISH! In America we would say "private part." Do you see the resemblance? Privy=private. Member=part. Got it?

    I pray for them, not for the world

    Jesus states plainly who he was praying for!!!!!!!!!!! In verse 6 He says "I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world:" speaking obviously of the twelve apostles! Verse 8 still speaking of the 12 apostles "I have given unto them the words which thou gavest...

    We don't really find God

    GTchick12: "We don't really find God" The blessed apostle Paul disagrees. Acts 17:27 "That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:" GTchick12: "God loves us with a furious love and chases his lost sheep until he...

    Im arguing FOR OSAS/predestination....

    Why? Why do you want to defend Calvinism and OSAS? Let's just assume for a moment that Calvinism were true--So what? Do you have to believe in it to be saved? I've not heard a Calvinism say so in a long time. So why make such a big issue out of it? Also, assuming that OSAS were true...

    The Apostle Peter and the Sabbath

    If Jesus died to ABOLISH the oral law then he died in vain, since the oral law was never ESTABLISHED to begin with. There is not need to abolish something that was never established. If so much as a fox were to go up on the oral law, it would fall. It didn't require the death of the Son of God...

    Heathens and the Gospel

    They state that although they do not know positively how he chose, they do know negatively how he did not. According to them, he used nothing about the person as a criteria. In other words, it was random. No characteristic of the person was taken into consideration--that's pure randomness...

    why i'm not a christian

    Calvinism turned them off. They don't want to worship a finite God who rolls the Almighty Dice to decide who goes to heaven and who to hell. They want to worship an Infinite God who is loving and has mercy, and although this is the God of Christianity they do not realize it because Calvinism...

    Exodus 20:13

    God will forgive any and all sin other than the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. If you have not been baptized into Christ for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38) then first you need to do that to become a Christian. If you've already been so baptized and are a Christian, then you need to...

    The Apostle Peter and the Sabbath

    You are the one who needs to learn to follow John 14:34, not to mention Titus 1:14. Show me where the Bible says Jesus gives anyone a S'mikah! I don't see that word anywhere in the KJV nor in the Greek of the New Testament. But I do see this "Not giving heed to Jewish fables," You are one of...

    Divided work = Divided Praise .............

    Well lets just stick with your "analogy" then: Jesus comes in person and saves someone who's never heard anything about him. How do they perceive him? How do they know he's there? or that he's there to save them? How do they know anything about what's going on?
