    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    I understand. I have already provided the Scripture you asked for regarding where baptism is commanded. But, even if it wasn't, when Jesus went to John who was baptizing, He demanded it for Himself as well (Matthew, chapter 3) even though He was the Messiah, the Christ. If I claim the title...

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    I was mostly thinking out loud so-to-speak. I have to admit that baptism is really a mystery to me and I can't fully explain it, but from the texts I quoted I noticed the phrases I bold typed. Being baptized into Christ or into His death or with a circumcision not of hands or with the Holy...

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    Since you pointed it out, perhaps you could provide that answer as it supports your assertion?

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    Maybe this should be given its own thread but something caught my attention as I was studying the topic of baptism in Scriptures. Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death...

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    I think what we have to define then is what faith is. Faith in what or Whom? (capitalized on purpose) Too often we teach that belief is superficial, and I think it goes back to the fear that so many denominations have with regard to works. I see that right here in my own Lutheran church and have...

    Which book in the Bible should i read?

    Good advice so far. I'd like to add to take your time. It's more than just reading the words but to listen to them, pray about them, study them, and meditate on them. My personal favorites are the four gospels with John being my most favorite, Acts, Romans, John's letters, and Peter's letters...

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    Wow! Just wow! Is anyone of us so righteous and has the authority to tell another person they are beyond salvation? Really? How can you say such a thing? This totally flies in the face of what Jesus teaches. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in...

    Being a Christian with ADHD.

    Admittedly, I know or understand very little about ADHD. My ex-wife insisted that our son had ADHD and I won't go into the details but I disagreed believing that it was more of a personal discipline issue with both her and him. Eventually, after his mother and I later divorced, she took him to...

    Should Baptism be repeated?

    I was baptized "in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" as Jesus instructed (Matthew 28:19) shortly after I was born. The baptism was performed by a Catholic priest but could have been performed by anyone. Over the years I left the Catholic tradition and about 10 years later I joined a...

    Finding God after an atheist or agnostic upbringing?

    One could say my story is actually quite dry. There was no dramatic, sudden, or aha moment that I could point to. I cannot tell you the day, month, or even year that my conversion took place. I just began to realize that God does in fact exist and that He wants to have a relationship with me, as...

    Does Hell really, really, REALLY last for all of eternity? Is it bearable?

    Are you trying to decide if you want to take that chance? Seek first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33). I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV We know that all things work together...

    One more question about Hell: if consigned there, does one spend all of eternity alone in utter pitch black darkness?

    "If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. And if your eye...

    What is in your car trunk ?

    It was after an incident that I decided I should get one for the boat and consequently my other two places. I had gone fishing one afternoon and less than 10 minutes on the water I caught a northern. While I was holding the fish and attempting to remove the hook, it began to thrash around and...

    What is in your car trunk ?

    I do keep a first aid kit in my hunting pack, my boat, and my ice fishing shelter but not in my truck. Not a bad idea though.

    What is in your car trunk ?

    Try to cross the border into Canada with a DUI on your record. Good luck with that! Although, if memory serves me correctly, in recent years Canadian law has relaxed that restriction a little so that if your DUI conviction is more than 10 years past, they may now allow you to cross. I wouldn't...

    What is in your car trunk ?

    Personally, I would not like it at all to have to work with someone who is high or under the influence of a drug or alcohol. First, they won't pull their own weight and second, it could be a potentially dangerous situation, and third, the company should not be required to be liable for someone...
