What is the purpose of infant baptism?

[Truther]

The Bible says ….
Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.



The incarnationist teaches…
Thou art my Son; this day have I incarnated as thee.

No, you got that all wrong, a protestant is defined as someone who protests Peter per Acts 2:38.

WRONG.

A Protestant is defined as a non-Catholic, Trinitarian Christian.
Nobody is protesting Peter . . .

Your RCC church is the mother of all protestants. You are the very first organization to protest Acts 2:38 and end it. The rest of your protestant daughters follow you like lemmings.
Get that right.

Once again, Einstein – nobody is protesting Acts 2:38. We simply understand what it means, whereas YOU are clueless.

Wacky Modalists . . .

 

[BreadOfLife]

Then why don’t you baptize in the actual name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost?
Why don’t you say their names?
Don’t you get what you guys are doing? You’re just repeating Jesus like a parrot instead of doing what he commanded you to do.

Because just about everyone here but YOU understands that it is NOT about personal names.
It's about AUTHORITY.

Keep studying- you'll get there, son . . .

If you understood Acts 2:38, you would baptize adults in the name of Jesus Christ.

I guess you can understand it and you still disobey it. That puts you in hotter water.

….anything to keep the name of Jesus out of it, huh?

 

[GodsGrace]

Then YOU should stop being dishonest and misrepresentiing Catholic doctrine and practice.

You are a hypocrite who goes around spewing falsehoods then yoiu become "indignant" when you get CAUGHT . . . .

No sir.
I have nothing to get "CAUGHT" about.

What I'm indignant about is YOUR ATTITUDE and BEHAVIOR.

Which is anti-Christian, a disgrace to the Catholic Church, and an abhorrence to God in how you treat HIS CHILDREN.

Read CCC 1271 and learn to treat your fellow brothers in Christ with some respect.

Wacky Modalists . . .

Wacky catholic idolator . . .

BOL is fun. I like him. He reminds me of the Archie Bunker of the RCC.
I smite him doctrinally, daily.

I smite him doctrinally, daily.

Good one!

The incarnationist teaches…
Thou art my Son; this day have I incarated as thee.

Sabellius had this view. I don't know who else did. Is anyone pushing this today?

 

[Dan Clarkston]

No. Only the false teachers are still pushing infant baptism

Most of Christendom is pushing the incarnation of God as Jesus.

They stripped Jesus of his individuality. And made him a flesha God.

Jesus said if you see Him you've seen the Father.... reckon He got it wrong?

 

[Truther]

Jesus said if you see Him you've seen the Father.... reckon He got it wrong?

I agree. Now, what did he say in the immediate following verses?

 

[Truther]

He said that the father inside him was doing the works through him correct?

 

[Truther]

Also, he said, the Father speaks through him.(….the words that I speak are not mine, but the Fathers…)

Now, did he say that the Father speaks as Jesus or through Jesus?

 

[Truther]

The problem with Christendom as a whole is that they don’t believe that the Father was inside Jesus. They still don’t believe that the Fathers is inside Jesus. It doesn’t matter how much they read or quote Colossians 2:9, they don’t believe a word of it.

They only believe that a portion of God, God‘s “qualities“ are inside Jesus bodily. What a joke.

They don’t even believe that Jesus today is bodily omnipresent.

 

[Truther]

Nearly every one of them are Catholics, even oneness is a form of Catholicism. The Catholics are the ones that invented the incarnation theory. Anybody that believes and teaches it is a Catholic.

 

[Truther]

Simple questions for anyone…

Was God manifest into flesh or was God manifest in or through the flesh of Jesus?

Could it be that Jesus is the express image of the invisible God because the invisible God is inside him, speaking and working through him?

Ever thought of that?

The Bible teaches oneness. The original oneness of the first century was God inside Jesus. They are unified as one. God and the man.

A mild correction, if you will permit it: Modern versions of Matthew's gospel report that Jesus said to His disciple, to baptize them in the name of the FATHER, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, not in the name of the Son alone.

Whether the verse was in the original or was a later addition is uncertain.

Apparently, believers who are uncertain are lacking in faith, but am certain and in faith, 'as or for, it is written'.

'GOD is not the author of confusion, but of pace, as in all churches of the saints.'

'Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; ...............'
