But the scripture says:
Acts 2:38
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

And you didn't address the logic: But logically an infant cannot repent. An infant cannot die to self. And neither can an infant seek forgiveness of sin. Look at the logic.

If it’s not possible it’s not required

on the mountain?

Dan 2: 44 And in the days of these kings (Roman Caesars) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Isaiah 2:2
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Micah 4:1
But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

Lk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

fundamentalism is darkness!

Christ is the light of the world!
You and pope francis and scores of others are making such a cliam now . The battle now is
against the fundamental bible believing Jesus following Christain . Yalls side is massive now .
Even buddits , atheists , muslims and many denominations as well as the CC now make these claims .
This world is done with the true bible believing non conforming to the world christain .
So be it , I have made my choice . ITS JESUS for me and the book for me is the bible ,
the ever merging we are one world and her relgions can keep the lie .
The CC and her daughters have sold christanity out . But not this lamb . Fundamental teachings in that bible of Christ and the apostels
iS where i will stay glued .

Hebrews 3:1
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.
Hebrews 4:14
Jesus the Great High Priest
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
Hebrews 6:20
where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

so you understand there are three priesthoods

the mosaic covenant the priest of Levi
The new covenant Christ and his apostles the priesthood of melchisedec
heb 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec

And the royal priesthood of believers and Christ is high priest here also cos he is the king Lk 1:32-33

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

GOD - now submit unto the High Priest JESUS so that your sins can be forgiven.

Confessing your sins to sinful men in hopes of forgiveness from God is an act of sin in itself.

When the Bible says confess your sins to one another = this is only for Blood washed Saints.

Jn 20:23 the people are forgiven by the priests the apostles have the authority of Christ

the confess to one another refers to the priests

I agree that confessing your sins to sinful men (priests) in hopes of forgiveness from God is an act of sin in itself. This is why Catholics confessing their sins to priests and the penance required is ridiculous.

"When the Bible says confess your sins to one another" = this is only for Blood washed Saints" is not accurate. It's known more familiarly as apologizing.

Exactly, and thanks for the 'icing on the cake'.

Let's not forget what the LORD said to us:
Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

then why don’t you actually believe Jesus and the word?

Fundamentalism is the darkness referred to in Jn 1

Christ is the light of the world!

Fundamentalism is extremist and a violation of the Christian virtue of moderation! Phil 4:5

Jesus did not say learn of me cos I’m full of pride, presumption, & arrogance but Learn of me meek for I am meek and humble of heart!

It is impossible to reason with a fundamentalist or have logical conclusions cos they have no logic and no reason!

Fundamentalism: faith without reason!

It’s like beating your head against a brick wall, all you get is a bloody headache!

Fundamentalism is unbiblical: Phil 4:5 Matt 11:29

Fundamentalists claim to believe the doctrine of the “Bible alone” but don’t believe what the Bible actually says!

you don’t believe in doing penance?


James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the priests of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: (a sacrament)

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

the context is the priests

The priest are to confess to one an other

Of course not because Jesus did it for us. He took our punishment. And that is the basis for our faith in Him. It is the foundation of Christianity. He made atonement for OUR sin so that we could be forgiven and be spiritually reborn with a clear slate and a fresh start washed clean in the blood of the sacrificial lamb. I don't think the CC teaches the true gospel or you would have known that. He is alive and lives in his Church. And not the church which partakes of his dead body during mass.

It's almost making me weep, hearing all the false teachings that so many people have been subject to. This must sorely grieve the Holy Spirit. How can the Holy Spirit move in a church that doesn't seem to accept Jesus' sacrifice for our sin. Why do people who are already freely forgiven need to do 'penance'? Oh I know - it's because nobody has told them that if they turn to Jesus and repent God will forgive all their sin so that they do not need to do penance.

But it should BE possible. If it isn't possible then there should be no baptism.

are you an Anna-Baptist?
Adult only

ez 36:25-27

Does not say except infants

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

also Mk 16:16

According to yalls definition of fundamentalism .
As for me , i am sticking to what was taught in that bible , by Christ and the apostels and i refuse to
follow any teaching which contradicts what JESUS taught in the bible and what the apostels wrote in that bible .
I suggest you do the same . GOD dont change , the Word dont change , JESUS dont change
just cause society does . You need to know this and learn it well .

The term anabaptist was used to describe and define certain Reformation-era Christians who rejected infant baptism in favour of believer's baptism.

So yes, I am.
