1 | Should my daughter get baptized again? | Luke 15:18 | Natoochton | 156841 | ||
I would have to agree with Hank here. It's truly a trajedy that we create lines in which we determine which baptism is legitimate. I think when we do this we are confusing ritual with belief (not to offend anyone here with the ritual aspect) we are a granted grace freely, it a gift, that if we accept it and believe with also surrendering our lives to Christ. You can't really say that because you were "baptized" in this church it's not legite here. Who are we to draw lines in God's grace. Baptism is accepting Christ as your lord and Savior, surrendering him your life so that he mold you in his likeness, dying of our old "natural" body, and being raised in the Spirit in a new body. I guess I didn't really answer your question here, sorry, it's more so thoughts than a direct and clear answer. In Christ, Natoochton |

2 | Is Pat Robertson a Christian? | Heb 10:24 | Natoochton | 156483 | ||
I just saw this, and well before I toss my answer in, consider this, Pat's in the limelight, whatever he says is going to be seen, now true he has greater responsibility to act in a way pleasing to God. Pat also has been known to say some things in the past that were, well, contraversial (sorry about any spelling mistakes) such as Feminism and and other governmental issues. Now because he "messed up" does that not make him a Christian. Of course not, we all make mistakes and stumble before others. I think the challenge is just, how are you going to serve God afterwards, if you identify the mistake, seek and serve God so that you may be made clean through his son's blood. I also think this is very common among Christians, as soon as the media see's something with religion and controversy in the title they jump at it. We are set apart by God and we are to act according to his good will. We also must remain united as a Church through times of struggle. this interdenominational warfare? It's ridiculous, what makes us think we are any better than anyone else. I don't know, Hebrews 10:24 was wise to cite, and I thank you for that, we must all be aware of our resposibilities as a Christians, not only to our God, but to others. God be with you |

3 | help find a bible? | 1 Thessalonians | Natoochton | 156305 | ||
You can obtain a copy of God's word in many places; a local church is your best choice, also at a Christ Bookstore (Family Christian Stores), I notice that a lot of Christian coffee houses have numerous translations. Now as far as translations are concerned, there's a ton. You'll probably find the NIV (new international version) in most churches as far as what you pick out of the pews. I prefer the NIV only because i do not have the intellectual capabilities required in understanding the King James version, the NIV is translated into modern english. Oh, sorry this probably makes the preceding worthless, but oh well. I am new to this forum so I would not have noticed it off hand, but in your right margin of course, you have access to an online New American Standard Bible. I hope this can provide you with some beneficial information. |
