    Do you haft to be baptized?

    It tells us in verse 15 why he did not baptize anymore, because he did not want it thought that he baptized in his own name instead of the name of Christ. Does baptism need to be a part of the gospel of Christ? Well, when we look at Acts 8 I think we get the answer. Notice verses 35-39: 35...

    Sabbath Day or Sunday

    Paul told the Corinthians that the "Ten Commandments" ( that which was written and engraven in stone) had "passed away". He also described them as now being a "ministration of death". 2 Cor. 3:7-11 7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that...

    Is baptism essential to salvation?

    Just a couple of quick hits. 1). warfrog if you will go back to page 1 and read my post on the thief on the cross I think it will explain why we cannot go to him as an example for us today. 2). I am going to ask everyone to please realize that we cannot go to just one or two scriptures and...

    Music in the New Testament Church

    First let me point out that just because the N.T. was not canonized until the 4th century does not mean Paul would not be referring to the N.T. letters and teachings as scripture. Notice: 2 Pt. 3:16 “as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things...

    Music in the New Testament Church

    I believe what you want me to see is that under the O.T. the psalm would probably be accompanied by a musical instrument. O.K. I agree with that. However, is that what Paul was implying and is that the way the early church understood it? I do not think so. Paul specified singing, he could have...

    Music in the New Testament Church

    This article is good, but states out on the wrong premise so it is flawed for the most part. I do not content that we cannot use instruments because nothing is said about them in fact I do believe something is said about them. When singing is specified as the type of music to use it also says...

    Music in the New Testament Church

    I am a member of the church of Christ so I thought it fair for me to give my understanding of the subject. You stated: "Neither are musical instruments prohibited (as the Church of Christ and Mennonites teach). " I believe they are prohibited because of the fact that in the N.T. we are...

    Is baptism essential to salvation?

    Let me say that you are correct with your premise. "P.1 Salvation was gained without baptism. Conclusion: Baptism is not necessary for salvation. If I am able to prove premise one, then I prove that baptism is not essential." However, I do not believe that you will be able to prove...
