1 | worms then dead | Acts 12:23 | ottersln | 73041 | ||
Heord basically was eaten alive from the inside out by these worms. Truly a horrid death. In that time to be eaten by worms was considered to be one of the most disgraceful ways to die. I think that God was sending a strong message about the consequences of sinful pride. Praise God that He does not always punish people immediately as He did Herod, but all will face judgement. 2 Samuel 24:16,17 is another time with the hand of Lord struck out in punishment. | ||||||
2 | enoch walking in heaven with god | Gen 5:21 | ottersln | 73040 | ||
Yes, Enoch was taken to the Lord, not through a physical death. The references point to a similar experience that is recorded in 2 Kings 2:1,11 when Elijah was taken up with the Lord. | ||||||
3 | What are the requirements for a deacon? | Eph 2:8 | ottersln | 72987 | ||
Reference 1 Timothy 3:8-13 Deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulgent of much wine, not pursuing dishonest gain, keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They should first be tested (not a new Christian). |

4 | Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? | Rom 10:9 | ottersln | 72983 | ||
Baptism is a symbolic act of faith, being clensed by the blood of Jesus Christ. I do not believe that it is necessary to be baptized in order to be saved by the grace of God. I do reccomend it as it is a very special time in a Christians life. Read Luke 23:39-43. The criminal who is speaking in verse 40 was not baptized. He asked Jesus to remember him when he came into His kingdom. The way to salvation is to recognize our sin and that we are in need of forgiveness. Second we must believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the cost for our sin. Thirdly we must ask for His forgiveness. The criminal did all of this and Jesus promised him that he would be in paradise with Him that day. We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ, not by acts of baptism or anything else. | ||||||
