1 | babies repentance | Acts 2:38 | jlpangilinan | 68639 | ||
Emmaus you are right that there other opinion oppose you post "You write" Think of all the new Testament "whole households" that were baptized in Acts. Nowhere are children mentioned as being excluded. What is the likelihood that all these were childless households? See Acts 2:38-39;" You quoted this but not really give the right explanation to the one asking: you said that they dont exclude the children, but you know that little children dont know how to repent: Ac 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Ac 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Peter start it with "repent" do you think little babies would know how to repent? I know catholics baptized 1 month old babies do you think they know how to repent? please show me in the scriptures that there are little babies, that repent and baptized by the aopostle. God bless, Johnny |

2 | babies repentance | Acts 2:38 | Emmaus | 68677 | ||
Johnny, Please show me where it says all the other household members repented. Besides these little children have done nothing to repent. Baptism in their case is for the remission of the sin of Adam, original sin, which Romans tells us is transmitted by decent from Adam. These baptisms, my friend, were a houshold affair as the "whole household" citations clearly indicate. And show me how the "circumcison of Christ" ,baptism, could be less open and effective than the Old Testament circumcision, which brought eight day olds into the Covenant, since we know Old Testament types are inferior to the New Testament fulfillments. Peter said in Acts, "this promise is for you and your children Acts 2:38-39. And please don't say it means that only when the children are grown unless you can show me where it says that. We are simply not going to agree on this. Having now clearly stated our positions there is no point in going over the same ground again and again. Emmaus |

Emmaus, as you read the accounts in Acts, you you will see that the word repent is not always in the text ... then read the rest of the NT and the same holds true ... it is implied. Searcher | ||||||
