This may sound weird but I come from a Church of christ that does not like to be denominational. As you read this take note this is not to say we are right you are wrong but to say guys I love you and I want to make sure you are on the right path.

It is quite Ironic I must add that baptist do not believe in baptism, that is why I'm here.....

"So you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have been made like him"------- Galatians 3:26-27

"And this is a picture of baptism, which now saves you by the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection. Baptism is not a removal of dirt from your body; it is an appeal to God from. a clean conscience.------- 1 Peter 3:21

"He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."------Mark 16:16

"Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him."-----Matthew 3:13

(If you want to be like Jesus then why don't you do this)

Again I am not trying to say that I'm better or cause an arguement I want you to be baptized.

While some may say "it's God's love that gets us through" Life is not about whether God loves you It is about whether you love him if Jesus told you be baptized would you do it? What about the Spirit? God? Well they did and remeber the bible was written by men encouraged by The Holy Spirit.

""Oh yes," they said, "we are able!"And Jesus said, "You will indeed drink from my cup and be baptized with my baptism,"------ Mark 10:39

I would also like to note that I am welcome to comments.

God Bless and I mean it when I say I love you

I am really unclear on what point it is that you are trying to make. I know many many baptist all of which have been baptised.

I take it that you believe that baptism is neccesary for salvation?

Ghoose · 06-05-2006, 08:25 PM

ya that was the message but most the baptist in my area don't believe in it they believe in the sinners prayer (I think)

Sorry and nate could you stop typing that

Nate · 06-05-2006, 08:30 PM

if you started making sense, i would stop typing it

i'd settle for just not being ignorant of our doctrines

Ghoose · 06-05-2006, 08:35 PM

Im sorry but I checked this and deleted the scriptures that I thought would not make sense but if you want you send me some messages and point out errors and show me where I went wrong, are you sure most baptist baptize????

Nate · 06-05-2006, 08:37 PM

You should probably start by saying what exactly you mean by "baptize," because obviously a Baptist will say they baptize.

Ghoose · 06-05-2006, 08:38 PM

I mean if you want to point out errors and help me figure this out you r more than welcome

Nate · 06-05-2006, 08:41 PM

I might, but you haven't really said anything yet.

You say "be baptized." Baptists, by definition, are.

Ghoose · 06-05-2006, 08:43 PM

As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water

Water+dunking into= Baptism

Nate · 06-05-2006, 08:44 PM

Which Baptists do. You're confused.

Ghoose · 06-05-2006, 08:48 PM

Dude I'm am embarrased and sorry but dude you are positivethat not a single baptist church does not believe in baptism

Nate · 06-05-2006, 08:49 PM

I'm still not sure there's not some sort of massive misunderstanding of the term "baptism" here.

Yes, every single Baptist church (that I am aware of) believes in water baptism by immersion.
