Apology to cbk and potential discussion on baptism

[InquisitorKind]

In the baptism debate commentary thread I stated in response to cbk:

Why are you changing your argument? First you said Christ himself intiated Baptismal regeneration (Mark 16:16). Now you're arguing that it didn't come "hold any meaning" until after his death. You're being inconsistent.

cbk is not being inconsistent, and I apologize for this major mistake on my part.

(I hate being fallible.)

As we're both Protestants, if he wants to continue our discussion on baptism in this thread, I'd be more than willing to.

Sorry again.

~Matt

And my appologies to all for even posting in that thread to BEGIN with. I failed to realize that I was not allowed to do so. I will now freely post within this thread.... Give me some time, I have some work to do.... In my real job, that is.

As long as we keep it civil , and understand that :
1. Protestant and Evangelicals believe that Baptism is an outward witness to a
inner event ( born again )

2. that the confession of faith and the redemption ( Romans 10.8-9 ) deals with
the sin of Adam

3. that baptism and confirmation , in essence are being born again of water and spirit

4. that the catholic version of baptism is a 2 stage work , similar to dedication and baptism in the PC church

5. that the second work of faith is the laying on of hands , as in Acts 19.5 by the bishop ...

6. avoid the Anabaptist bunny trail ; the concept / doctrine of limbo & unbaptized infants ...

should be a productive discussion ...

Matt, I believe we should take this to the Liberal Theology forum. I will start a post there to continue.

We will tarry in a polite matter and try to determine who holds the liberal belief.
