    Need advice - non denom pastor convert to Catholic

    This shouldn't be the way to say Hello and introduce myself. But I have lost sleep agonizing over this for days if not weeks. Let me try to make this as short as I can. I grew up Catholic, my parents are Catholic. I went to Catholic school before university. My parents, however, weren't...

    Baptism & Do not reject people

    I want to talk about what I think about baptism then. I do not know if this is truth but it is simply, as the title of the book indicates, my objection to the case. Many say that you have to be baptized as an adult. I do not think this is necessary, in fact, I see the gift of God in what they...

    The Baptism of the Holy Spirit- can you lose it?

    I am new to this forum and wasn’t sure where to post this. I was baptized in the Holy Spirit ten years ago. I have been speaking in tongues since then, but since May after a suicide attempt, and it got worse in July after I lied about something, now when I try and speak in tongues they are...

    Full immersion?

    I am a catechumen at a greek orthodox church and was wondering if its the "norm" to have full immersion or not? My priest said i didnt have to, just a splashing would suffice. Also, im new here. So howdy to all.

    Confession, Baptism, Absolution of Sins for a Non-Catholic

    Good day, I had a few questions to any Christians. I recently have been having a change of heart and want to accept Christ as my saviour. I grew going to Catholic School, but I was never baptized, and my family wasn't overly religious (although my father occasionally would attend church)...

    Scriptures Regarding Baptism

    One Lord, one faith, one baptism,(Ephesians 4:5) John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. (Mark 1:4) Then comes Jesus from Galilee to Jordan to John, to be baptized of him. But John tried to prevent him, saying, I have need to be...

    What is required to be a member of your congregation?

    How is your congregation structured? What is required to be a member of your congregation? Do you find the topics of baptism or membership to be controversial in their own rite? What issues have you seen come up related to baptism and/or membership, and how have they been resolved? Any...

    Is Your Salvation Secure?

    I'm quite sure that I'm not the only Christian in the world who has experienced doubt and uncertainty in my faith over the years, but hopefully this may help some to allow such a thing to be opened up and treated, rather than to fester in the dark as is so often the case. I myself spent many...

    A Question

    Christ is Risen! Greetings, my dear Orthodox brothers and sisters. I have a question for those of more experience in Our Faith. Some time ago, when discussing my conversion to Holy Orthodoxy with my parish priest and dear spiritual Father, I was asked whether or not I had been previously...

    Grace and Truth ministry

    I have mentioned having been looking for truth. Many pastors, teachers, preachers could never answer the tough questions, Revelation, 70 weeks of Daniel, Predestination, death to self, daily cross, trials by fire, self denial... after 42 years I found Grace and Truth ministry. I'm content that...

    Baptism without parental consent plus more

    My friend Jake's parents do not want him to be baptized and it's literally killing him. He always complaing about it to me. I don't know why, but they are absolutely opposed to it and my friend is starting to grow impatient. Jake met a Pentecostal pastor who said he would baptize him. I don't...

    Lack of Baptisms at My Church

    While I am a Baptist, the church I attend isn't Baptist per se. It might've been once, but it's more non-denominational than anything. I do believe they are a God-fearing church and are scripturally sound amid a few minor disagreements I have with them. However, there is one major issue that...

    Rain

    I asked God if I could start sharing all the wonderful stories I have about Him and the things He has done for me. But I'm so nervous. I've gotten so attacked in the past for it. Been called a liar, for reasons I understand from a worldly perspective, but not from those who claim to love God...

    Searching for a believer in Quebec (or if no one in QC, then North America) to baptise me

    Baptized December 11, dealing with depression. Thinking about suicide

    Hi, There is no easy way to say this. I am a sinner. I was a horrible sinner. I abused the love of those around me, I did whatever I wanted while believing that life was meaningless. I have always hated the fact of my existence and could never understand why God would put me here in such a...

    [Blog post] Baptism of Blood

    Hey all, it's been a while since I've had much internet presence. I had a tough semester and needed to cut back on forums like this one to get my work done. Now I'm on winter break though! I wrote a new essay/post for my blog, mostly just some thoughts about Baptism by Blood and why I believe it...

    Catholic baptism and Orthodox Churches

    Hello. I hope this subforum is the right place for this question: someone knows if the Orthodox Churches recognizes the Catholic baptism? I mean if it is valid for them... Thanks.
