81 | Is baptism an evidence of faith? | Romans | sniper | 77127 | ||
I have posted many questions regarding evidence of faith. It seems that most generally agree that confession of belief, and repentance are evidence of faith. Furthermore, it seems to be generally agreed that confession and repentance are necessary for salvation. In the same vein of questions, is baptism an evidence of faith? If so, is baptism necessary for salvation just as confession and repentance are necessary? | ||||||
82 | Repentance and Confession - obedience? | Romans | sniper | 77155 | ||
Aren't repentance and confession step of obedience? Let me answer that, yes they are. What makes them any different than baptism? God makes a comand and we obey, not out of a sense of entitlement, but because we love Him and want to follow him. God's gift is exactly that- a gift- we never could earn salvation. Baptism is not an added step, it the final step in a clearly delineated process. I once believed as you do regarding baptism. I got tired of twisting the Bible around to fit my beliefs. I just accept it for what it says. May God bless you. |

83 | Repentance and Confession - obedience? | Romans | sniper | 77552 | ||
Tim, You wrote:"Our obedience must come from what God does in us, not what we are able to do on our own. If I understand your note then I agree with it except that I am a little unsure of what you mean by the statement above. Do you mean that since we love God and obey as an act of love that such obedience is done out of an attitude of what God has done for us? In other words, we love God because of his grace and mercy and we want to please Him so we obey. And, none of this obedience is out of an attitude that God owes us anything for it. Am I understanding your position? |

You say 'already'. So is it your position that 'what has been done for us' happens prior to our obedience and is in no way connected to our obedience? | ||||||

Not accountable? In other words, innocent. Have they not sinned against God? Or do they still have the sin nature? If so, how does God accept them without their having demonstrated the acceptance of his gospel? | ||||||
87 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | sniper | 76274 | ||
Hello, I have been away. Ok, you say children are innocent. Others say that children are "not accountable". Aside from the belief in a genetically transmitted sin nature, is there a practical difference between not accountable and innocent? In other words, you can say a child is not accountable, but doesn't that add up to innocent in God's eyes? I mean could God really overlook a depraved nature and allow it into His holy presence? Doesn't the Bible teach that for anyone to be in heaven they must be righteous before God? Thanks for answering my questions. |

Did David mean heaven or just the afterlife in general? What about the justice and character of a Holy God makes you think that he could allow a sinful nature in his presence? Why would it be right for God to accept them into heaven? |

I think that you have applied these verses out of context. Will I be forgiven if you ask God to forgive me? Forgiveness is dependent on each person repenting and asking for forgiveness. If, as you say, they know not what they do, are they sinning? |

Dear Cyclist, I had intended to make a response, but I have just read Disciplerami's reply to your post. Disciplerami's post is a better reply than I would have made. I would like you to support your assertion that correction can only be received if it is from an elder in Christ. Don't we all have a responsibility to compare what we hear and read to the word. (Acts 17:11, I John 4:1, I Thess 5:21) |

Thanks for your post. I agree with I Peter 5:5. I believe that younger men should be subject to older men who arfe teaching what is right. Please read the verses I posted to you previously and give me your thoughts. Don't we have a responsibility to check everything against the scriptures? Or should we blindly follow older men because they are older? |

You allude to a freewill. You call it a "willful rejection" or "sensing personal need". But, then you turn around and say the following. "Scripture is clear that children and the unborn have original sin-including both the propensity to sin as well as the inherent guilt of original sin." How is there a willful rejection if the sin is inherent and original? Where is scripture clear abou this? Please support. |

Dear Radioman2, I do not understand the nature of your post. I have posted a legitimate question and I am genuinely awaiting your response. Sincerely, Sniper P.S. I am not a person who attacks, nor do I need to attack, a persons character or work from from a distance. My question was in no way snide criticism. |

Yes, you did say elder in Christ. So, are you suggesting that there is a seniority rank structure within the body of Christ? Whereby, the eldest in Christ can never receive correction because there is no one senior to him? By that logic a young preacher's exhortations from the pulpit to elders would be unscriptural and not worthy of receiving. It is the responsibility of all Christians to search out what is right, and point out what is wrong. (Acts 17:11, I Jn 4:1, II Tim 4:2, Matt 18:15, II Pet 1:20) Moreover, the elder of I Peter 5 does not necessarily refer to those who are in elder in Christ. It refers to the men of age who hold the office of elder and who have met the qualifications as laid out in Titus 1:5-9 and I Tim 3:1-7. Granted, he must not be a new convert, but in no way is there seniority rank structure which precludes an older man in Christ from receiving correction when it is necessary. |

Thank you for your reply. | ||||||

Dear Radioman2, I concluded from your statements regarding willful rejection that you must believe in the freewill nature of man. Perhaps, I was wrong. The Contradiction is this: If sin is inherent and original then a soul is condemned the moment it is conceived. Why, then, is it necessary for a person to reach a point of willful rejection in order to be condemned? Obviously, babies cannot make a conscious, willful rejection. So either they are condemned by their sin nature, or a person is condemned when they make a conscious, willful rejection. |

It doesn't help because I find no Biblical support for inherent, original sin. I find no support for the idea that Christ's atonement can cover the sinful soul of one who has not obeyed the gospel. | ||||||

John, Please do not misunderstand. I do not believe that babies, toddlers, or young children are damned. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your sister's niece, and I know that she is in Heaven. I do believe that God is a logical being and has created us in His image to be the same. I am trying to point out the sickening logical conclusion of the unbiblical belief that sin is inherent, original and applied to a persons soul at the moment of conception. sniper |
