Yes I agree. I have edited my earlier post to take account of the change you made in your post 3 in this thread. When I first replied, that post just said, "We and Jesus Christ are one............"

That is just not true. The repentant thief on the cross beside Jesus was not baptized, yet he was saved. Sinners are saved by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. Think of the jailer at Philippi. He asked the apostles how he could be saved. They told him to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ...

Not in the same way that Jesus Christ and His heavenly Father are one. Christians are said in the bible to be "in Christ." They are also told that they are all one: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in...

Nowhere do we read in the bible that Jesus said the words translated into English as "I am God." However, He did say things that even His enemies recognised meant that He was claiming equality with God the Father: “"I and My Father are one." Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him...

You must have a tremendously wide knowledge of the many local churches in the world to be able to say that most of them are fake and run by Satan. I am not sure what your post has to do with the thread, though, which is about infant baptism.

You start your post claiming to know what my church teaches, but as far as I am aware, we don't know each other, so you don't know what church I belong to or what it teaches. I agree that "logos" is often used in the bible to refer to words spoken or written by God or others. But for the...

Who do you mean, I wonder, by the trinitarian translators? I ask this because as far as I am aware, the translators of versions like the KJV, the NKJV, and others that refer to the Word as "He" were all believers in the Trinity. Besides, what is more important is what John actually wrote in...

But all of that, (the Word of John 1:1 being an "it") ignores what John writes just a few verses later about the same Word: “He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received...

I am sure that briughtframe52's God is the same God I believe in, described in the bible as almighty. Far from being impotent, He is omnipotent: “And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For...

Where did I make the mistake of the Gnostics? My post had very few of my own words. I just said: "Or you can thank God for doing it all:" and "Paul didn't tell the Christians at Ephesus, "You've done something!" No, he says "God has made you alive, God has made you sit together in the...

Or you can thank God for doing it all: “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all...

But your claim seems to ignore the opening verses of John's gospel, which state clearly that the Word was in the beginning with God, and the Word was God: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made...

However, "whoever" ("whosoever" in older English) doesn't mean "everybody without exception." Take John 3:16: “"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (Joh 3:16 NKJV) Yes, it's not "everybody"...

I don't agree that all denominations are heresies and sects. A heresy is (according to the dictionary I looked in) an opinion or doctrine contrary to the orthodox tenets of a religious body or church. So the Roman Catholic church (a denomination) accused the Reformers of heresy, because their...

Sorry for the lateness of my reply. I have only just seen your post. The Anglican Church does call it baptism. The Book of Common Prayer, their service book, includes a section: "The MINISTRATION of PUBLICK BAPTISM of INFANTS To be used in the C H U R C H." I think they probably use a more...

I assure who I did read your entire post. The post included these words: "This passage says false prophets and false teachers will bring in denominations," That is why I wrote in response: "Sorry, where does the passage say that false prophets and false teachers will bring in denominations...

But that is far to general. Some denominations have gone far from bible truth, and some never had it to start with, but it is surely wrong to say that all denominations are heretical. The verse from 2 Peter 2 is talking about false teachers. By no means all denominations were brought in by...

Why should "incarnate" and particular redemption (limited atonement) be "categorically, diametrically opposite of each other?" Incarnate refers to God taking human flesh. Surely we all believe that He did, whatever our beliefs about the extent of the atonement. Really? So why does Paul write...

When I was converted, I certainly wasn't following a church, whether a local church or a denomination. One result of my conversion was that I realised the "church" I had been brought up in wasn't preaching the gospel as found in the bible. Nobody had ever told me that I was a sinner and needed...

A very warm welcome to you in the name of our glorious Saviour, the King of kings!
