1 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | jdavidblack | 126887 | ||
Answer: who knows? We have no witnesses...indeed, this one-name, three-name debate is a lot of wasted energy. To argue that the precise words one uses will make or break the validity of the baptism is pointless --- worse than pointless, in fact. To argue that a "right" formula be pronounced is to say that the words are equivalent to a hocus-pocus magic spell that must be said JUST right, else the spell won't work. Just dunk 'em or sprinkle 'em or pour it over 'em, and say whatever you want to say, or whatever they want to hear. Baptism CAN be a wonderfully meaningful event, as redemptive as your spiritual state at the time can make it....it's a wonderful family and church event. But to make the words into a magic formula is to demean the spiritual value and reduce it to a sideshow. Shalom, David |

2 | Def. of transactional Christianity? | Bible general Archive 1 | jdavidblack | 77908 | ||
I had already used Google and found nothing...and it wasn't indexed in any of my books. The phrase was used by a teacher in a ministerial class I am taking...but I really don't know what he meant. Hence the question....thanks. | ||||||
3 | Thoughts on the book of Judges. | Bible general Archive 1 | jdavidblack | 77876 | ||
Suggest a couple of old reliable classic guides, books that work well as guides for the whole Bible: (1) Henrietta C. Mears, WHAT THE BIBLE IS ALL ABOUT, and (2) HALLEY'S BIBLE HANDBOOK. Available at most Christian stores, available thru www.Christianbook.com. Others might recommend differently, but I'd buy Mears before Halley. Shalom, jdavidblack |
