Bible Note: fpm: Thanks for your kind response. I know our Doctrine is not what we have made up ourself. Yes I believe I have that down pat. I respect your position on baptism, and debating is not braking any thing I am aware of, especially if genuine christian brotherly or sisterely love, kindness, and respect are used in the debate. But honestly not all Baptist are of a Faith only Doctrine, as I am concerned. So I think my intention is not to disfellowship or belittle someone when we don't agree, in that case I believe Jesus said all there cam be said with wisdom we need to keep in the front of our soul. John 14:35 "By this all men will know you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." NASB In all honesty when a so self poclaimed "christian" refuses to follow the Lord Jesus Christ in baptism there is a serious error. When we surrender to Jesus Christ and call of the Holy Spirit, there are expectations. No one can follow unless they stay in line and FOLLOW. In this case with baptism as Jesus Christ clearly demonstrated for us as an example to FOLLOW HIM. When someone refuses to be baptized that's not following in any way shape or form. I fully believe immersion to be the Biblical way to baptize. I say this even having sprinkled a woman dying of cancer who was unable to move for death was quite near. I have mixed feelings in explaining this, and I have to leave this in the hands of the Lord. When I hear an alter call with the preacher asking those who raised their hand to just repeat after them the sinners prayer, I am very concerned that this is a false way to allow people to think that's all there is to "getting saved". As you say in your doctrine statement, repentance is a requirement not an option. yet seldome do I hear that mentioned in alter calls. Most assuredly without confession, that is denial. Baptism can be one way of confession. Obedience is one area that is not just for the time we surrender to Christ. For me it is being constantly aware that obedience is sometimes satans trap when we deal with situations where emotions can be high and trying to help is not the way the Lord wants me to be. Endurance is sometimes a way of saying that genuinely saved persons could loose their security of the holding power of Christ. John 10:27-29. I have read "that faith that falters, had a flaw from the first". For me I would say the key word is "genuine". I do not believe a "genuine authentic" "born again" "saved" person can or will fall from grace. I do believe it is possible for a believer to "backslide". In the Old Testament such an example would be King David. There are several things about David and his realationship with YAHWEH I do not understand. If God could say David was a man after Gods heart, I struggle to fully grasp such forgiveness and loving kindness that God has. I think there is plenty of room to dialogue, disagree, and learn from one another in the Study Bible Foum. Blessings. justme |
