@mtree81 Anglicans, RC, and EO are all referring to the Greek word, presbyteros, not hiereus when they say priest. The etymology of the word comes from Greek “presbyteros,” then Latin “presbyter”, then old English was “preost”, and in modern English “priest.”
@NathanBozeman2@javierperd2604 You’re conflating salvation with justification. The Bible teaches we were saved, are being saved, and will be saved. As a former Baptist, this is what helped me. Justification is punctiliar, but salvation is not. Baptism saves in the same way God’s word saves.
@TomBuck @JMunyan1689 @SlowToWrite Tom, that’s a feminist scholar interpretation, shocked to hear it from you. Paul says submit one to another, and the point is for them to rightfully submit to proper authorities, such as the example of wives,children,etc, not that each individual person must submit to each other.
@BiblicalBeauty@freebarbarian They believe they are Abraham’s sons, but also that they need to be secretly raptured so God can deal with Abraham’s “actual” sons. So, no they actually don’t believe they are Abraham’s sons and heirs according to the promise.
@abidingbranch @StormThomasV Lol. Dispys think they are Abraham’s sons, but also that they need to be raptured so God can deal with Abraham’s sons. Make it make sense.
@ferrismattic@_cooleb @StormThomasV And are heirs according to the promise, correct? Heirs to say land promises? A child is an heir, but dispys fundamentally reject that because they deny much of the gentile inheritance. That’s why it’s silly for a dispy to sing the song, because they don’t really believe it.
@JB_Durham80 Are you decidedly Baptist? Issues like this is why polity is so important. Clement of Rome wrote to the Corinthians in the 1st century for firing their pastors wrongly, saying they had NO right to remove the pastor appointed to them. Immature laity shouldn’t have such power.
@EliasDogma@thisisfoster This proves OP’s point. You’re looking at “chapter and verse” examples of baptism, rather than starting at the most logical approach by asking, “What is baptism”? Once you’ve defined what it is, then you have better starting point for determining who are the proper candidates.
@Alecforman@ferrismattic Before you go and try and start a new movement of churches, I’d recommend reading the early church fathers, like St. Ignatius/Clement, who were disciples of Peter and John, to see how they approached this scripturally. They were trained by the Apostles and we have their writings.
@Darth__Weaver @FaithWithMase Paul says that it’s a sign of the righteousness you have through faith, not the faith itself. Probably because Baptism is something God does to us, not what we do for God.
@MBurtwrites@IanBurkePerry@irishnick23@marshalldukat@WannabeAnglican Don’t run away now. You’ve gone against the consensus of the universal church, accused the fathers of rejecting women/the apostles’ teachings due to sexism, and you proselytize your view on every other tweet, while yet to prove your view as anything but a novelty for feminism.
@MBurtwrites@IanBurkePerry@irishnick23@marshalldukat@WannabeAnglican Paul’s focus changes to teaching doctrine to specific groups, rather than giving qualifications for an office. Paul often changes subjects quickly. Please show me where someone before second-wave feminism had the same interpretation as yours.
