Re: Is it supposedly 'liberal' to let your son pierce his ears? Liberal to let your son pierce his ears? Nope. Not in any political sense anyway. All young generations have a form of revolt against the "establishment". Whatever is "in" or whatever word is used these days it's all the same...

News first. I'm a news junkie. I check the BBC, FOX, MSNBC, ABC, CNN, DRUDGEREPORT, HUFFINGTON POST, BREAKINGNEWS. Not necessarily in that order. Every other day or so RASMUSSENREPORTS. I rarely if ever hit WORLDNETDAILY. :shrug Maybe once in a blue moon. If something of interest warrants...

Hey DarkHorse :) Mind if I call ya that? It's shorter and Dark doesn't suit you. Over my head with Quantum mechanics. Stuff scares me sometimes. :thud: Anyway, I believe as we look back in faith to Christ's death, burial and resurrection for salvation so too did those in the past look forward...

Best? Red meat, potatoes (hard to ruin a potato) and peas or green beans or broccoli or corn. Worst? Salads I ain't no rabbit. I need protein. Oh, and salt. Don't take my salt away. I perspire a lot while active. I don't need heat stroke because someone else decided I don't need salt. Sugar...

I see people getting baptized in those verses yes. I see people getting baptized at church. There is a lot in common within the synoptic Gospels. But declaration of an ordinance whereby one must be baptized, support for the claim of necessity for water baptism or a crucial and essential step...

"baptism performed by the hands of men" Job 40:14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee. When I believe I do the ritual of baptism as an outward sign of that belief. I believe He died, was buried and rose again. And I would think that if that ordinance as...

1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the...

Do I or do I not have to be baptized with water by a person to be saved? I know the scripture. I know interpretation can and is often debated. A yes or no answer is all I seek.

That's true I suppose in some cases. But I really wouldn't rely on that is an indication that one is saved though. A lot of times things like that have a tendency to wear off. Before I was saved I sometimes got goosebumps listening to AC/DC. :D

Sure thing zeke. I agree. I believe Christ has the power of salvation though His baptism of the Holy Spirit. I get nervous when someone says they have been given the power of God to do His work when in fact it's Christ's baptism that does the saving. And that not by proxy. I also agree it's...

I asked such a fellow how he knew he was saved after giving me all the hoopla of how great a person he was. "I feel it in my heart through the Holy Spirit." Or some such thing. Frankly I think he was looking in the wrong direction, toward himself, as some are apt to do. Besides, Christ promised...

...when interpreted as such. I interpret it all differently. Job 40:14 keeps getting in the way. I won't ignore it. It's pretty straight forward. So what ya'll are saying is that I can't be saved unless some guy baptizes me with water? How does Christ's baptism with the Holy Ghost fit into...

Dadof10, I know what I experienced. No way am I going to be convinced it was a dream, hallucination or something I ate. Your interpretation is the way you believe. So be it. You cannot shake my faith or convince me it's null and void because it doesn't fit your beliefs. That's just the way it...

Well Dadof10. Whatever floats your boat. :shrug

Gotta get man in there somehow. Do the works... get saved. So there's two baptisms that must be done. One is performed by man which allows Christ to do His work. Or opens the door for Him. Once the prerequisites are fulfilled then Christ can do what He does. I don't know. I honestly thought...

Ok, I have to ask again. How many baptisms to I need? Do I need man's baptism by water or Christ's baptism by the Holy Ghost? And why is there very little mention here of Christ's baptism anyway? All I see is something man does that somehow is required. For some reason citing Christ as...

Yep. Satan, demons, angels etc. are not born of water. Demons and Satan will not be saved. And angels don't need to be. Jesus never baptized with water. Why? Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not...

Well, Jason, I suppose but not all the other companies worship their founder. Coca-cola is another big profit maker. McDonalds and Rite Aid also surpassed big oil in investment/profit ratios. I don't know why nobody is raising a fuss about those profits. Speaking of McDonalds though I heard...

Re: When folks stop buying it discretionally. Right now the most common price in my area is $3.85. I thank God for the mild winter. I, along with most folks in the area, heat with heating oil. OK, so gasoline becomes a bit more expensive for me but one must have heat regardless if one drives...

I can honestly say Ive never thought, "If my neighbor wasn't so darn wealthy I could do this or that. But because of his excessive wealth I can't do what I intended." So let's get the government to take more from them and give it to people more in need. Hey now, that sounds just ducky...
