Christ showed me my way home to him and now i feel like i want to be baptised in his love again. What do you think of this idea? Hi Louvain. Welcome to Worthy Forums. You go and get baptized. Just saying, no where is infant baptism taught in Scripture. There is not one word that mentions any such thing. On the contrary, it is clear from Scripture that baptism is only after men have repented and have been born again by the Spirit of God. Infants are not lost due to the fact that they are not old enough to be responsible for any sins and therefore could not repent of known sins. They cannot be fit candidates for water baptism which is a symbol of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and a testimony to the world that the individual has been saved from a life of sin and that he is walking in newness of life. Only personal disciples and followers of Jesus Christ were commanded to be baptised (Matt. 28:19-20; Mark. 38>19-20; Mark 16:15-16; Acts 2: 38-39).

With love-in Christ,Kwik I have read many websites who do not adhere to "Got Questions" Some people hate them. Among them are the JW, Catholics and Mormons. There are many other Christian denominations that their belief does not line up with "Got Questions" and they think it is a website of false doctrine. I guess that is a matter of choice. Our world is full of them. I certainly would not expose my brothers and sister on Worthy to false doctrine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. (Act 17:11) \ There are several Christian Ministries I have researched that are quite scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else is adding to the passage. And how is one to know without any sort of authorty if they have a "clear" and "plain" reading of the grammer of this or any other passage? For example, lets say we have four or five Protestant or Fundamentalist in a room (there are actually thousands of differnt Prot. and Fundy sects) discussing a certain passage in Scripture, and there are four or five differnt clear and plain understandings of this passage, all supposedly inspired by the Holy Spirit, without any sort of authorty, who holds the truth, and who does not? Anything else is adding to the passage. Yes, without any authorty, this is correct. Something that is very common among the thousands of differnt Protestant/non-Catholic sects. The bible is not about what is not in it, but about what is in it. Really? Then why does St. John say everything is "not" in the Bible? John 20:30; "Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of [his] disciples that are not written in this book." (Apostolic Traditions) Or... Jn.21:25; "There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written." (again, Apostolic Traditions) How about the words Jesus spoke? "It is more blessed to give than to receive" Can you show the book, chapter and verse where Jesus spoke these words? And if you cant, and in your way of thinking, we should disregurd these words Jesus spoke? I think not! With this being said, are you willing to admit you were in error when you said..."The bible is not about what is not in it, but about what is in it." Jesus and the apostles gave a very clear order of things, baptism 100% of the time comes after repentance. Very clear 100% of the time? Acts 22:16: "Now, why delay? Get up and have yourself baptized and your sins washed away, calling upon his name." Now I know you are very fond of the passage in Acts 2:38 and use it often to try and make a point. In regurads to Acts 2:38, I'd like to ask your opinion on it. In your opinion, is St.Peter 1. Preaching the Gospel to his "adult" hearers at the time? 2. Giving "complete" Catechetical Instruction on "eligibility" for Baptisim here? 3. Both? Or 4. Neither? Do you know what you call baptism without repentance? A shower/bath. If this is your attempt at being a Bob Hope.... Keep your day job. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the "authority" that you claim for the RCC is extremely questionable, and today the Pope's authority is a joke. So what authority are you looking for? Scripture itself is the final authority.
