@ReformedDoc It's interesting how the vast majority of arguments against Calvinism are made by those who fail to grasp the even basic premise of Calvinism. It appears to be above their comprehension.
@EdwardOrysiek @heckyessica The question isn't whether or not he commanded it, the question is whether or not it is required for salvation. There's a difference.
@heckyessica WATER baptism is symbolic now IMO.. one must be still be baptized by the Spirit though. Water is not the cure. โAs for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I... He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Matt 3:11
@mamamightymac@Protestia 100%. These churches have millions in fog machines and sound equipment, yet the orphans and widows in their community struggle. It's shameful
@autocorrect2_0 I hear you, and your not wrong -- but I'd argue the analogy is flawed. Christians are not arguing that pagan nations become Christian, we are arguing that their own Christian nation not be paganized. There's a difference and a strong biblical case to be made for it.
Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, theyโve failed โ in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.
Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you wonโt notice. We canโt let them.
