August 11, 200818 yr My grandpa (and I'm not saying he's right or wrong) used to say that baptism without being saved is swimming. That's a good one. What is the average age that a person gets baptized for the first time?
August 11, 200818 yr 100% correct.....I don't believe a lot of stuff in the Bible, but that doesn't mean I'm not Christian.
August 11, 200818 yr Is the bold statement true? No Christian can do everything the Bible says. If they do, they are perfect. And none of us are perfect. We fall way short. But striving to do all that the Bible says is what Christians should do.
August 11, 200818 yr Author 100% correct.....I don't believe a lot of stuff in the Bible, but that doesn't mean I'm not Christian. How so? I am not disputing you, I just really want to know
August 11, 200818 yr How so? I am not disputing you, I just really want to know I don't really know how to answer that. I mean, I believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and agree with many things in the Bible, but there are things I don't agree with. I still consider myself Christian.
August 11, 200818 yr Author I don't really know how to answer that. I mean, I believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and agree with many things in the Bible, but there are things I don't agree with. I still consider myself Christian. I know that one thing we talked about is that the Church of Acts was a very communistic system, do you consider this to be wrong.
August 11, 200818 yr To be a Christian, you must have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and asked for forgiveness and His free gift of salvation. Nothing added to, nothing taken from. Amen....."Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved" There is no works that can save you, salvation is free.
August 11, 200818 yr Believe is in the Book of John 99 times. Amen A.L., "Faith" in the Lord Jesus Christ is what Christians go on. "Believe" and "Faith" are imo are two key words for any Christian. What I like to say is......God said it, I believe it and that's it.
August 11, 200818 yr OLD, thats right, no one is forced to believe the way I do. They have a choice given to them by my account...God. I'd never tell someone how they are thinking or how they are reading into things, but will show scripture and in Ezekiel 3:16 I'm told to do that and I'll recieve a blessing even if they choose to keep on the darken path. Even a loved one and I have a few I just show what is written.

AL will you agree with me that while we both are trying our hardest to live a life that Christ wants, there is something that we will have wrong. If not, it would mean that we think like God thinks 100% of the time and I don't think any human being can do that.

If not, it would mean that we think like God thinks 100% of the time and I don't think any human being can do that. Your question wasn't for me but I agree. As a Christian I always try to do the right things and lead a good example but there are times that I don't. We all come up short in that area I believe. There is only ONE pefect man and that is Jesus Christ. One phrase that I have heard and like is "Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven".
August 11, 200818 yr Yes, by all means. Today we left Church and as I was driving down the highway some guy turned right on red right in front of me. Now Momma is in the front seat since her may 21st accident and I had to get next to this nut and well I don't cuss or use any fingers but I gave a very long/hard look and if she wasn't with me...well she was and I didn't. So Amen to your question
August 11, 200818 yr Larry - help me out. What's the Protestant view on baptism and being saved? Can you be saved after having been previously baptized?
