    Do you have to be baptized to achieve salvation?

    God is no respecter of person – salvation is the same for Jew and Gentile under the NT. Peter was instructed by God to speak unto Cornelius "words whereby he would be saved" (Acts 11:14) and those words preached by Peter included the command to be baptized in water.And [Peter] commanded...

    Do you have to be baptized to achieve salvation?

    But Jesus never said, "he who believes will be saved through childbirth" - Jesus doesn't say, "he who believes and speaks in tongues shall be save" - Jesus never said, "he who believes and is saved shall be baptized if he can find water" - Jesus does say, "he who believes and is baptized shall...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution stopped after billions of years.

    But you have not done so yet - hand-waiving means nothing. Present on this thread the required evidence from science that proves man-chimp common ancestry? I don't think you can. If you accept Darwinian lore (and you do) then you do so via great faith - got science?

    You don't? Have you ever heard of neo-Darwinism or have you been in-doors too much?What is the Scientific Dissent From Darwinism statement? The Scientific Dissent From Darwinism is a short public statement by scientists expressing their skepticism of Neo-Darwinism’s key claim that natural...

    [_ Old Earth _] EVOLUTION - A BELIEVER'S PERSPECTIVE

    That's an odd statement - I see nothing superstitious about a sunset of a newborn. Do you? superstition: irrational fear of what is unknown or mysterious But they are linked at the hip - Darwinism is atheism. Atheists and creationists have no problem with that concept - why do you? In the...

    Does the ToE suggest man and chimp have a common ancestor? Can you find your evidence from science that proves man-chimp common ancestry or do you believe that notion via faith?

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution stopped after billions of years.

    But I don't make that error - God is Spirit and God created man "in God's image" via special creation. He has endowed us with the ability to reason with the brain He created within us. God does not say man was once a fish. Man has always been man - you have bought a bill of goods. Learn from...

    [_ Old Earth _] EVOLUTION - A BELIEVER'S PERSPECTIVE

    Then prove to us via the scientific method that "evolution is unsupervised". I don't think you can and the only thing you have proven is your inability to recognize the difference between a statement of science and a statement of religion. That is the weak point with theistic Darwinists (an...

    You need to think about the "superstitious awe" some attach to evolution. That may be you. ‎"Darwin's theory of evolution is the great white elephant of contemporary thought. It is large, almost entirely useless, and the object of superstitious awe. " - David Berlinski, philosopher of science

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution stopped after billions of years.

    Man was created "in God's image" via special creation. He has endowed us with the ability to reason with the brain He created us with. There is nothing in Holy Writ that even hints of the notion that man was once a fish. You have bought a bill of goods. Learn for your error.

    [_ Old Earth _] EVOLUTION - A BELIEVER'S PERSPECTIVE

    Think reality my friend - the faith of Jesus Christ has nothing to do with the errors of evolutionism or the speculations of mysticism - or to put it another way, it has nothing to do with evolutionary mysticism. For the record - 'Theistic Evolutionism' is an oxymoron. You cannot reconcile...

    [_ Old Earth _] EVOLUTION - A BELIEVER'S PERSPECTIVE

    Repeat to yourself - 'we are dealing with reality'. Let me give you a test. Is the textbook statement below a statement of science of a statement of religion? You do know the difference - right? The diversity of life on earth is the outcome of evolution: an unsupervised, impersonal...

    Do you have to be baptized to achieve salvation?

    Well, you say 'no' but the Bible has baptism there in black and white and it sure looks like it is essential to God's plan to save our souls. The NT does not know of an unbaptized Christian. Let's see how far are you willing to go (or not go)? Would you concede that the baptism, the "one...

    [_ Old Earth _] Hallmarks of Intelligence and Ingenuity

    Darwin went to his grave as an agnostic atheist - and his version of evolutionism is a secular ideology - a substitute for Christianity. The two worldviews are not compatible. Of course you know that already.‘… Evolution therefore came into being as a kind of secular ideology, an explicit...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution stopped after billions of years.

    Dennett is pointing out that the process of natural selection feeds on randomness. Remember, he (like Dawkins) will not allow a God in the process. How does that notion differ from your version of Darwinism? I am not sure how alike sharks and dolphins 'look' but they are the way they are...

    [_ Old Earth _] Hallmarks of Intelligence and Ingenuity

    What 'Intelligence' is responsible for that "single-celled bacteria"? Remember, classical Darwinism (atheism) rules out a Creator-Designer out of hand. CHARLES ROBERT DARWIN stands among the giants of Western thought because he convinced a majority of his peers that all of life shares a single...

    LOL - what part of Darwinian randomness and accident are you missing?"The process of natural selection feeds on randomness, it feeds on accident and contingency, and it gradually improves the fit between whatever organisms there are and the environment in which they're being selected. But...

    Do you have to be baptized to achieve salvation?

    But doesn't the 'faith that saves" include submission to God's will, including repentance and baptism in water "for the remission of sins"? I have asked you before but I never saw your answer - at what point (biblically) did you come to be "in Christ" - before your were baptized in water or...

    But how exactly does random naturalistic processes 'modify' theropods so they can morph into birds? Please - no hand-waiving.
