Subject: Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? |
Bible Note: You write that Tim is too much the Christian gentleman to respond. I guess that means you are not a Christian gentleman when you do what Tim would not do. You write: "Those of us who have been around a while have seen dozens of shooting stars come and go. They show up here, try to make a name for themselves, post a few messages lacking in substance, and then, when they don't get the respect they've done nothing to earn, they disappear. Will you be one of them? I don't know. But if you could demonstrate one tenth the wisdom, discernment, knowledge, patience, and care that Tim has, I for one might be interested in what you have to say." My aim is not to "score points" and I'm not trying to "earn" your respect. Judging by your visceral, mindless response, I doubt that I would want it. This is, I presume, a place of ideas. But when someone speaks an idea that doesn't conform to the modern mantra, you and others start saying things like, "you're just a newcomer, a lot of us have been around a lot longer than you, start showing the big men on campus a little respect, say what we say and after a while you will have our respect." Tim may be a gentleman in every way, except his talent is lacking when it comes to explaining Scripture. You speak of Tim's wisdom, but I see no wisdom in twisting the Acts 2:38 passage. There is zero justification for the way Tim Moran mangled the words of Peter. And how unkind of you to jump to his defense and then give him none. The Lockman Foundation has the best word-for-word translation available, I'm surprised that people on this forum aren't offended by Tim's mangling of Scripture. The "shooting stars" you mention may be more than that, they may be burning just as bright but they've gone to more fertile fields, where eyes and ears are open. Good day. |
