The Once saved Always Saved Issue has been discussed on this forum at great length and I have no desire to get into THAT again, Taken.
So, I feel sorry for you that you cannot AGAIN open that can of worms.

(And when you scroll back you can read about it again if you like.)

I never mentioned OSAS, So what can of "worms" you are talking about is moot.

You said "backslide". I asked what that word meant TO YOU.

If you don't know so be it.
I am not you, I have no clue what YOU mean.

God Bless,
Taken

I already gave you the Scriptural formula for Baptism.
I gave you the Early Church teaching on HOW to baptize.
I told you that I was born again AT Baptism.

If you want to know if I remember when I was baptized - I don't as I was only about a month old.

Just as Jewish boys were brought to circumcision by the faith of their parents
- I was brought to Baptism by the faith of MY parents.

This
has been the way that Christians have been doing it from the beginning . . .


Thanks for finally sharing.
Totally disagree that is Biblical Teaching.

I have no clue what YOU mean.

It looks like there are many things you don't have a clue about.
It's all a matter of scrolling back and reading the thread to refresh your mind.
You don't....that's fine to me.
Have a great day though.
You can continue with BOL now.

WRONG.

Paul uses the terms, “circumcision of the heart” and the “circumcision of Christ” (Rom. 2:29, Col. 2:12-17) to describe the reality of circumcision being a spiritually inward act, not merely an outward sign. The Old Testament type that was circumcision is now Baptism.
YEs this one

Act_11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Means nothing for children unless you believe in a God that would send children to hell when they cant even think for themselves..

But according to some Christians, your ability to use the brain God gave you to think and reason for yourself means nothing. Its all about the spirit, the "flesh profits nothing", they often love to quote.

Try reason God, try really hard, He wont fit into mens reasoning. That why HE gave us His Spirit, denied by so many, that wonderful Gift, His seed, which without we are not His that is His mark on us., so that He could help us make sense of it all, but men are proud and arrogant, love to prove how clever and smart they are, are not "wiling" to go to God as empty vessels or to be emptied so that He can fill them.

It is just how it is, it is our choice follow Him or do out own thing.

So since God gives us the spirit of truth to make sense of his words, then does that not make God reasonable?? And, if I were given this "spirit", would I still be able to "make sense of it all" if I didn't have a brain that works properly?

:) Ha!!! You should know what I'm on about since you were the one that opened that can of worms to start with. You stated that God wouldn't send children to hell who can't think for themselves. Why? I thought that piece of muscle in your skull profits nothing since it is flesh. Its all about the spirit is it not? This is what everyone keeps quoting afterall. So what difference would it make if a child can actually put two numbers together and come to a senseable conclusion? I don't smoke, this is just food for thought.

No, I don't actually. But I think your argument should have some consistency, especially when dealing with creatures like BOL.
Only consistent thing about BOL is he never changes... and it is no argument more like a one way discussion, He talks and demands we listen, if you dont, well he cant burn us at teh stake that is one concession.

Yeah, that's why I don't waste my time having lengthy discussions with him. I say what needs to be said and move on.
