    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    That’s because I never added “Mary’s” name to the text. Please TRY to engage in an honest dialogue. I was explaining to you WHO (Mary) and WHAT (Israel, the Church) the text was talking about. As I explained to you before – this symbolic text is polyvalent.

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    **Because of the length of your post, I deleted most of it because there is no room for me to respond. . . . The souls in Rev. 6:8 are MARTYRED people in Heaven. The Bible wasn’t written in Chapter and Verse. This wasn’t added until the Middle Ages. At the end of Chapter 5, we see that God is...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    **Because of the length of your post, I deleted most of it because there is no room for me to respond. . . . First if all- - Jesus and Michael are NOT the same person. I know that this is a belief of the Jehovah’s Witnesses because if the perversions in the New World Translation. The 4 living...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    **Because of the length of your posts, I deleted most of it because there is no room for me to respond. . . . Rev. 12:1-4 is what is known as a polyvalent symbolism. In other words, it symbolizes multiple things: - Israel - The Church - Mary The Woman is wearing a crown of 12 stars which...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Then YOU need to exegete Rev. 4:8, where it explicitky says that Elders in Heaven (the “dead”) intercede on our behalf: Rev. 5:8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    We are commanded in Scripture to intercede for one another (James 5:16). Paul asked his readers to pray for him (Rom. 15:20, Eph. 6:19-20).. Apparently NOT, if you’re NOT praying for others . . . Sooooo, YOU don’t believe that we will have powers in Heaven that we don’t have on earth? You...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Mose “Died” in the flesh and was buried (Deut. 34:5-6) . Was Moses “Dead” when he was conversing with Jesus at the Transformation?? Are the Elders in Heaven who are interceding on our behalf in Rev. 5:8 “Dead” – or are they ALIVE? WHO said that the saints in Heaven are “omnipresent”?? They...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    DEAD?? First of all – those in Heaven in the presence of the eternal almighty God are MORE alive than YOU are. I guess you never hear of the Transfiguration when Moses and Elijah conversed with the Lord (Matt. 17:1–8, Mark 9:2–8, Luke 9:28–36). Secondly – ANY ability or power that the saints...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Sooooo – looking at your FIRST 2 sentences and your LAST two – and they are in direct contradiction to each other. FIRST, you say that a person can “… Lose their ALREADY established Gift of Salvation”. THEN, you claim that they can’t. Make up your mind . . .

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    And THIS is why I was explicit about which Book. Rev. 3:65 isn’t about rewards – it’s about salvation. And it says that you CAN have your name blotted out. Yes, God knew from before the foundations of the world WHO would be saved because He is outside of time and is NOT bound by time...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    It's absolutely historical - and I've provided the documented evidence. If you think I'm wrong - then REFUTE me. If you hsve documnted evidence for your claims - let's HAVE it. So far - ALL you've been able to do is vomit out denials and riddles . . .

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Pope of Rome?? What "other" Popes?? Thhe anti-Popes that arose during the early centuries were NOT Popes. They were self-appointed counterfeits. I'm emarrassed for you. Do your homework . . .

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    WRONG. Aking with the other DOZEN or so Scriptural warnings I gave you - I have shown you the following verses a well. So far, you have FEILED to address what they mean: Rev. 3:5 He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    In post #1622 - YOU said: “You post many Scriptures…. NOT ONE of which a born man HAS LOST HIS SALVATION.” Did you mean to say “born-AGAIN” man??

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    WRONG - I gave you over a DOZEN verses that warn of this very thing. Better living through denial - eh, Taken??

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Yes, you DID. And that's why I told you in my last post - "Knowing isn’t the same as “understanding”. You posted an excerpt from Irenaeus's Against Heresies - -and STILL denied what he said. Against Heresies is broken up into chapter and verse. In the verse that precedes the listing of Popes...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Soooo, it’s YOUR contention that a man is BORN saved?? Would you mind providing some Scriptural proof for that position?? Rom. 5:12-14 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, AND DEATH THROUGH SIN, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— for sin indeed was in the...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    No – I just think that your mind tends to wander a lot . . . Because YOU keep arguing my point by inventing imaginary categories in the text pertaining to either “unsaved believers” and “saved believers”. I have repeatedly shown you that the Bible is speaking of born-again, converted...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Knowing isn’t the same as “understanding” – which you clearly do NOT . . . Then, produce the text. WHY is it that you can NEVER produce actual evidence for your idiotic claim? I have a few theories . . .

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    If you feel that someone is a "lost heretic" - it is your DUTY to share the Gospel with them. You are a perfect example the kind of person that the Word of God condemns (Matt. 7:1-5) . . .
