21 | Did Jesus baptize? | John 4:2 | proffitt_79 | 83994 | ||
In John 3:26, a Jewish man tells John the Baptist of another who is baptizing. He refers to him as the one "who was with you on the other side of the jordon, the one you testified about". JtB replies "A man can receive only what is given him from heaven." 1. Is the other man Jesus? 2. What does JtB mean by his reply? |

Does 1 Corinthians 7:14 say that if an unbeliever is married to a believer, the unbeliever (by being 'sanctified') is considered a christian AND their children are also christian? |

23 | communion: symbolic or something more? | 1 Cor 11:29 | proffitt_79 | 84898 | ||
This is an issue i have been struggling with for some time now - raised baptist i was taught that the Lord's supper is a symbolic act - a memorial - shown by the words "this do in rememberence of me". Recently i have been introduced to Lutherans that believe it is much more than that. they believe Christ's spirit is present in the bread and wine and thus taking communion imparts on us the blessings of the holy spirit and the forgiveness of sins. they draw heavily from 1 Cor. 11:29 where Paul warns about taking communion unworthily. NASB 1 Cor 11:29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. AMP For anyone who eats and drinks without discriminating and recognizing with due appreciation that [it is Christ's] body, eats and drinks a sentence (a verdict of judgment) upon himself. my Bible says "if he does not discern the body" and the literal greek is "not judging through the body". is this a reference to Christ's true spiritual presence in communion? or is communion simply a symbolic act we participate in to proclaim "the death of the Lord until He arrives"? ive gone around and around on this one with baptist ministers and lutheran pastors. i wont explain further, but my situation is dire and i need some real spiritual guidence here. any help would be appreciated. thanks. tproffitt_79 |

25 | Partake of divine life? | 1 Cor 11:29 | proffitt_79 | 85631 | ||
Reformer Joe, I sincerly appreciate your reply to my question. Your knowledge and understanding are truly inspirational and helpful. I wonder if you could elaborate on your conclusion: "That is why I believe that I am partaking of the divine life of Christ through the sacramental union between the sign (bread and wine) and the things that they signify (the body and blood of Christ)." What do you mean by 'partaking of the divine life of Christ'? thank you |

Thank you Perceval96 for your input on this controversial subject. in no way did i mean to start a doctrinal war, but i do find different interpretations of Holy Scripture fascinating. I welcome input from and based on different Christian doctrine. Your reluctance to participate in doctrinal debate is understandable and noted. so many use doctrine as a sword to destroy one's faith where it should be used as brick and mortar to build each other up in faith. Let us never lose sight of the fact that no matter what doctrine one ascribes to, the absolute most important thing is one's spiritual walk and relationship with Jesus Christ. | ||||||
