Hi Everyone,
I have read the comments on Ask God about water Baptism and I can't believe how everyone is agreeing with Emiles legalistic views. I think I am going crazy sometimes. Did the Lord say to theif on the cross lets get down and baptise you so you can enter into paradise with me today. I am not against baptism but I also do not have a right to tell God who He can save and who He can't. It is still that obsession with who has eternal life and no mention of God and His power to save whomever He wants. Satan stands before Him accusing Him and the brethren with the word of God and they are doing the same. Will a person say to God I was baptised as a baby so now I will have eternal life or are they required to be known by Him? Whatever conviction the family has for their children is what the Lord wants for them. Remember this is about personal relationship as individuals not rules. Isn't that how the Pharisees saw the OT and displeased God? Then Robert of all people has the nerve to mention circumcision as the same as baptism. So much confusion it is unbelievable. Circumcisions was the rite of entering the covenant of Abraham for the land and has nothing to do with being a follower of the Lord. Then for weeks I was told by Robert that the OT was dead so how can a major sacriment of the dead OT be applied to the New Covenant? They really draw for anything to back up what they want it to say. If a husband and wife disagree the Lord has given the man the final authority in the home over spiritual matters and this is an example of how this applies. We have to walk with God like Noah and Enoch did and it is not a formula but a constant discipline of study, prayer, and trusting. The rewards are unlimited in this life and the next. Amen!! Nancy
