I'm sorry my comment looked like an attack on you, it wasn't meant that way. I don't question your belief on baptism, I meant to just explain my own.

Baptism by water is not the same as baptism by the Spirit. Baptism by the Spirit does not require a church ritual, it's a gift from God when we're reborn. When Christ on the cross said to the criminal next to him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise" there was not baptism...

It's clear to me this issue will never be definitively resolved one way or the other for those who want to be part of dueling scriptures. My belief is this, we're talking about baptism with water, which is not an instrument of salvation. It's a ritual, a recognition of being in covenant with...

Since we have, once again, taken up this topic I'll post the position of my church, the United Methodist Church. Baptism, including infant baptism, is one of our sacraments but is not the instrument of salvation. It is a covenant initiation. Q: What is the difference between infant baptism...

I've used malwarebytes for years as well, the free version. I use it only to scan occasionally, not running in the background. My wife sometimes complains about the computer running slow, because she isn't as careful not to click on unsolicited emails and such. I've found Windows Defender...

Victor Davis Hanson likes to say California is actually two states: Massachusetts on the coast, Mississippi inland.

Welcome, Creative. :wave You'll find friends here.

I agree, pick and choose. Watching TV or going to theaters is not something we're forced to do, so just just choose according to your values.

I agree, the Third Temple is implicit in some scriptures. For example, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every...

There are religious segments in Israel for whom the rebuilding of the Temple is everything.

I believe something SHOULD be done with the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque...they should be destroyed. As for the building of the third Temple, the Bible says it will be built, and it WILL be built. I leave it to God to guide the building of the Temple according to His will. God is...

I just finished reading the Lauren Belfer novel, City of Light. Actually this was a re-read, since I first read it in 1999, the year it was published. The story is a murder mystery taking place in Buffalo New York in the period of 1895 through 1902, during which the world's fair, Pan...

Yankees/Red Sox game. Red Sox leading 2-0.

I think there's a good case to be made for that. It has been something I thought about a lot when visiting Jerusalem. I believe the City of David is where the Temples were located. But, this is a very controversial belief.

Already found that out. :)
