    Muslim converted to Christianity

    I spent over 40 years of my life as a "Muslim". This was something I never felt a connection to, no matter how hard I tried. I had so many questions and doubts about Islam. The answers that I received just made me lose my faith more and more. I suffered through a long and unhappy arranged...

    What does the Baptism of the Spirit look like today?

    While there is no denying that the Holy Spirit baptism took place in Acts 2, and in Acts 10 with signs following, the question remains is: What does Baptism of the Spirit look like today? Have things changed? Can we see a change in Scripture?

    Old Covenant To New Covenant

    When dissecting any verse of scripture. Ask yourself, of whom, to whom, with what words, what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstances, considering what is written before and what follows any single verse context. ^^^Myles Coverdale, Bible theologian/translator wrote the above^^^...

    John The Baptist’s Message Lives On

    Matthew’s Gospel tells us that John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” The prophet Isaiah foretold of John’s coming: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him’”...

    Baptismal Degree

    How is there to this day justification for grading the baptism as was told by Christ? This is one area many protestant members avoid taking place between long intervals. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy...

    Why I no longer attend Churches of Christ

    Disclaimer: I am not trying to be negative, just stating how I felt: 1) Most of their literature does nothing more than produce endless talk about baptism and worship with no instruments. 2) Every week during the Lord's supper, the server seemed to talk about how taking the elements strenghened...

    Teach me about Paedobaptism

    Well, this is a reach. I'm here for one specific question. I'm a baptist missionary, but don't let that throw you. I consider myself more strongly Presbyterian in theology, however, quite Anglican in ecclesiology, which is really messing with my head since I'm working in West Africa in support...

    “having The Faith Of A Child” Should Be More Than Just A Slogan.

    (A Facebook blog post, I wrote when I was planning on writing a book 2 years ago) Mark 10: 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed...

    Our small messianic congregation (averages 20 or so each sabbath) has existed since 2010 without formal membership and our first-time congregation leader of a year and a half is moving towards instituting membership. As part of the leadership team for the congregation, I have been asked to...

    If you are someone opposed to the doctrine of baptismal regeneration, please give your reasons for being opposed, and preferably back up your argument from the text of Scripture.

    Baptism Question/Explanation?

    Ok, to begin with let me state that I do not believe Baptism is just a sign. As all the other Sacraments are said both in Scripture and in Tradition to give real Grace so the same must be true of Baptism, the sacred mystery most emphasized in the New Testament. This is not an impediment to me...

    Should I get baptized again?

    At the age of 16 I heard the gospel, believed it, and accepted Christ. I then was baptized in a Independent Fundamental Baptist Church. Although I had faith in Christ as Lord and savior, I did not make any serious commitment to turn from sin or stop living like the world. A few years later, I...

    Non-Trinitarian Baptism in Jesus or Trinity?

    17. For whereas in the Gospels, and in the epistles of the apostles, the name of Christ is alleged for the remission of sins; it is not in such a way as that the Son alone, without the Father, or against the Father, can be of advantage to anybody; but that it might be shown to the Jews, who...
