Re: My introduction

George, I'm concerned as well.

If you were able to read at the age of two, you must have been a prodigy of some sort. Most children don't understand the concept of written language until age 3 or 4, and can't read fluently until ages 5-7. In fact, the average two year old has only a spoken vocabulary of about 2,000 words, and is not capable of understanding complex concepts such as those expressed in the Bible.

You claim that at age 2, you were able not only to read, but to read and comprehend Early Modern English. This, I believe, would put you on par with the development of Jesus Himself, who shocked his contemporaries by debating Scriptures at the Temple . . . and even He was twelve!

Luke 2

42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.

44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.

46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

Someone so intellectually gifted as to shortcut language development would likely be able to write just a bit more coherently than what you've displayed here.

Why are you lying to us? If you were really raised Catholic, it's possible to repent. But telling us that a Baptist church would baptize an infant is like telling us that a Catholic priest would fail to notice the firm, rounded bottom of a kneeling altar boy.

Re: My introduction

The Church I attended as a child believed that if you were old enough to talk and read the KJV Bible, you were old enough to be baptized.

I've looked over your churches Statement of Faith. I'm having a hard time believing this church got baptism so wrong, when they seem to get everything else right. Especially when they write

One may become a member only if he has personally accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and has been baptized by immersion.

Now how does a 2-year-old accept Jesus Christ as his Savior?

Really, everybody knows your story is totally made up and totally ridiculous.

Why don't you tell us who you really are George?

Re: My introduction

Why not?

Perhaps because my very studious child was baptized at 8, and my oldest child just got baptized (he's almost 10).

Re: My introduction

Because it flies in the face of Baptist teachings.

Next time, do your homework.

Not all churches are the same, though the majority are.

Re: My introduction

To clarify, I was just a bit over the age of 2, which I'd still consider a baby. I had learned enough English to understand God's Holy Word, though.

Re: My introduction

How exactly were you a believer before you even learned to talk?

I had learned enough English to read the KJV Bible, but I'd still consider myself a baby then.

Re: My introduction

Baptist. My church allows only believers to be baptized, but it allows people of any age to be baptized.

How could you be baptized as an infant before you could truly accept Jesus into your heart?

You wouldn't be trying to fool us, would you?

Well that's....unique.


What's the name of your church?
