[Natsumi Lam]

Why bother? Whatever is explained will immediately be misrepresented, if past experience is any clue.

Not by everyone

"Is we...orthodox?"

Were the words "Eastern Orthodox" in the box under the member's avatar insufficient as a hint?.

That was flat out rude.

I dont see that because i am on my phone. It doesnt show up the same as a computer.

Why you gotta be so rude?

Uninformed assumptions are not becoming.

Shows who you really are at your core.

Ok understood.

Ok understood.

Sorry, I didn't know that my faith designation didn't appear to everyone. I'll try to remember to be more conscientious about that if I'm replying to posts.

I plan to study it on my own but i was not expecting a one sided conversation.

You didn't get a one sided conversation. What you got is an affirmation that the words in the passages mean what they say.You don't appear to like that.

I dont appear to like nor dislike it. I am just hoping for more than 2 chuncks of verses as a dialog between us.

You ought to, it is also about baptism. If you did some research you'd know why.

Ok ill take your advice.

What have you learned from these verses in your contextual, subject and word study?

 

[ralfyman]

Some points are given in this part of the Catechism.

The early church writers regarded enlightened as one of several words meaning baptised with water and Spirit. That sheds some light on Hebrews 6.

 

[ViaCrucis]

All those in the NT were adults and asked to be baptized....

No?

Maybe, maybe not. Entire households are described as being baptized.

[ViaCrucis]

Do you believe someone can enter Heaven WITHOUT being dunked in water or sprinkled?

The historic Christian answer to that question is yes.

Do you believe everyone who is dunked in water receives the Holy Spirit and is Born of God?

The historic Christian answer to that question is also yes.

In biblical standards, do they not only refer to men of age when they talk of "households" and such?

If my teachers were correct, when Christ fed the 5000, that was 5000 men of age. The numbers were higher when you figure in the women and children under a certain age.

Would this not hold true to this scripture?

Acts 8:36-37?
How many eunuchs do you suggest Phillip encountered? OR are you saying the eunuch had women and children with him?
