Re: Of Baptism

Mennonet is confusing to me as well. James Lowry would be an excellent person to discuss the Anabaptist view of baptism with. He has studied the early Anabaptist beliefs extensively and is also a conservative Mennonite. I can pm you with his contact info if you wish. Also, Edsel B and Lester B woul...

Re: Of Baptism

One other bit that makes me believe that one is saved when faith has found its way to Jesus, is the verses that make it very clear that "neither is there salvation in any other". To me that seems that there is only one way to be saved, and I have a hard time believing God would not save a...

Re: Of Baptism

What about when Cornelius' house received the spirit before Baptism? I don't see how an unregenerate can receive the Spirit. Personally I have a hard time basing my beliefs on what the early church did because we don't really know if we even have writings from all the different groups, I find their...

Re: Of Baptism

All very interesting, yet it has left me a but confused. A short story about myself, a little over a year ago, after years of conviction about my sin, I admitted to myself that most assuredly, I needed Christ. I started reading the bible, and went to a non denominational church that had hardly any e...

Of Baptism

I just recently read some writings from David Bercot and discovered that he believes that a sinner is saved at the time of water baptism. Is this a common belief in anabaptist churches.

Re: Separation from unbelieving family members

That sounds horrible, the part about them not telling you where they moved to and just being overall somewhat malicious to the cause of Christ.
I've heard that this was the norm or even worse in the early church when Jews or pagans were converted.

Re: Separation from unbelieving family members

What do you suppose would be the context of 2 Cor 6:14

I know that the Bible also teaches that is ok to keep company with people of the world in 1 Cor 5:10.
