@bendellwerry Your lane is to point out the broader attack of Satan in the church in C.S. Lewis terms. Transhuminism, feminism, lack of developing men, the objective room. The ground is fertile to apply the why of present challenges to eternal movement of God
@HansFiene It would be a laughable tragedy if LCMS wiped the floor with ECLA over 50 years and then carried all their gods back to be worshipped. Do you advocates think 2 chron 25:14 is prescriptive?!
@RevReads289@LutheranAnswers@cbankston7 It is not my personal testimony, or my somatic profession of faith. Baptism is coming to Christ, because thats where He promised to meet us, and its him doing the cleansing because he is good and perfectly holy. Its his sign, not yours.
@RevReads289@LutheranAnswers@cbankston7 Ok, so then is your problem that there's no passage in Scripture that says something like "yall need to baptize your babies!"
@RevReads289@LutheranAnswers@cbankston7 So I'm not sure you're going to be able to understand what I mean here, but I'll try. Your model of being saved by the work of christ is why you think baptism undercuts salvation. But we are saved not by the work of christ but by his person. And baptism is coming to his person
@RevReads289@LutheranAnswers@cbankston7 But... it did tell us to bring our kids to christ for salvation. Where else would we bring them?
Or are you debating the doctrine of good and necessary consequences? Baptists always love to pretend to be against that in discission but actually aren't in practice.
