Bible Note: Doc No my good man of God, you glossed over nothing at all, you were quite clear. I agree completely about the "grace" and "means of grace" that you have outlined here, I take no other. I would like, if you please to take the time, when you can to elaborate for me at some length, with the strength which God supplies, about how the Baptist Divines would have "nonetheless been willing to express your quote from the Canons of Orange"? This would be most informative. What I am struggling with is that very Roman Catholic idea that after receiving "According to the catholic faith we also believe that after grace has been received through baptism, all baptized persons have the ability and responsibility, if they desire to labor faithfully, to perform with the aid and cooperation of Christ what is of essential importance in regard to the salvation of their soul." And "so that we may both faithfully seek the sacrament of baptism, and after baptism be able by his help to do what is pleasing to him." Whereby one having recieved the "sacrament of baptism", "all baptized persons have the ability etc.". - As if the ability comes from the grace conferred by baptism? Thank you. blessings abound, bowler |
