Re: Howdy

Wow, you've got great reading comprehension don't you.....

Now I suggest you quit insultion our True Christian™ men and our Pastors. Personally I think you're just another atheist God-mocking troll here to disrupt our boards.

He seems to imply that some people think being baptised as a BAPTIST would mean that he is saved. Sounds more like he considers the baptism invalid because it was Presbyterian. I guess it's your interpretation vs. mine, and you're not a Deacon.

And that is cute how you trademarked True Christian. Do you really have a trademark on it? If so the churches of the world are going to owe you a whole lot of money!


I have no need to submit to the authority of another church, especially one I have no direct knowledge of. Are you telling me that that is indeed a current photo of Ezekiel, your pastor? I have no listing of someone by that name in my SBC Worship Directory, although that doesn't necessarily mean that he isn't a Baptist Pastor. I know a lot of televangelists like making the young ones, especially the Pastor's Sons into figureheads, hereditary rulers, like the Roman Empire.

Re: Howdy

Woah, woah, woah. Being Baptised and being Saved are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS. If you were a Baptist, you'd know that.

I understood who Jesus was at five, and accepted him as my Lord and Personal Savior. I was saved when I was five.

We believe that it is not possible to truly understand God without reading and comprehending the Bible in its entirety. Understanding, and salvation, comes not by reading a little Jack Chick comic book, getting scared of Hell, and swearing off stealing cookies . . . then returning to sin a few weeks later.

At what age did you actually read the entire KJV?

And please don't try to tell us you could read and understand Early Modern English at the age of five, OK?

Re: Howdy

If you're running a congregation at 21, you must have taken a biblical crash course, and gotten saved early two, Ezekiel, unless you're some kind of joker too.

First off that's Pastor Ezekiel to you. And you haven't seen anyone blessed with youthful good looks before?

You don't even know the difference between Baptism and Christian Salvation. Is this some kind of joke?

And meanwhile we have a "Pastor" accusing me of being a Catholic (didn't catch "Mary" in there as it was late last night), who doesn't look a day older than 21, unless that's a picture of one of his sons.

And I was Baptized at 1 1/2 in the Presbyterian church. Doesn't mean I was saved.

Luke 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
You're not going to convince a mother of 3 and aunt of 15 that you actually understood repentance for the remission of sins at the age of 5.

Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Considering your current reading comprehension, I really doubt you were capable of understanding this at the age of 5.

Re: Howdy

And I was Baptized at 1 1/2 in the Presbyterian church. Doesn't mean I was saved. In order to be properly saved you must be baptized AFTER you accept Christ. You have to be able to understand what Jesus died for. Sure maybe at 5 you can say the right words, but you don't truly understand.

Re: Howdy

I don't know. Maybe y'all's bulbs are a bit dimmer in Iowa than where I'm from.

I was saved when I was five. I've heard about kids as young as two or three being saved, but that is just silly. You can barely even talk and walk at that age.

My son could have been baptized at 5 or at 2, it doesn't mean it would take. He was even angry when his younger, more studious, brother was baptized at 8. My oldest son knew the words to say, he knew who Jesus was, and could have answered the Pastors questions correctly, but he was too giggly and thought the whole idea was a joke. I'm not going to have him baptized when he wasn't ready to accept the responsibilities that came with being a True Christian(TM)

Re: Howdy

A strange, paranoid group. What is your agenda? And what is a papist? That sounds like someone my wife would see, not I.


BTW, a five year old, by definition isn't an infant.

May you have a blessed day, "Pastor."

No it's a toddler, and I have yet to meet a 5 year old who is capable of understanding Jesus. 7 is the earliest I've heard of, and if they're raised True Christian(TM) and not ready by 13, I think it's time to give up and ship them off so they don't infect the other children.

It took a trip through the Landover Hell House to convince my 9-year-old that salvation was serious business.

Re: Howdy

Pal, why don't you just come out and admit that you're a filthy mary worshiping papist. No Baptist would ever claim to be Saved at the age of 5. A 5 year old child can't discern Jesus' Plan for our Salvation, and thus wouldn't qualify. Only papist scum adheres to the blasphemous doctrine of infant Salvation.

Time to fess up, buster.

Re: Howdy

Hello Billy Bob!

Do you have the apocrypha in your Bible? I don't know why it is such a big deal, as long as they are in a separate section, like KJV.

As I said above, I have four children and a wife.

I was saved when I was 5.


My favorite pie is sweet honey pie.

I'm kind of surprised by some of the liberal views that I find even here. Surely hating those who are going to destroy America isn't against the words of the Good Book!

Re: Howdy

No, no, I assure you, I am not a Catholic. I'm on YOUR SIDE

Well, Christian Crusader. You have arrived. Surely you recognize that this is the Godliest forum full of the Godliest men and women on the planet. Surely you recognize how fortunate you are to have communicated with such Godly individuals as us. Everyone else is going to Hell. We are the ones who are going to Heaven. Isn't that Godly?

Praise God!

So what brings you to our Godly forum, aside from the obvious. Are you seeking salvation? Or do you fancy you already have it? When did you find Jesus? What is your favorite pie? How many Soldier for Christ has your wife borne you? Bare your soul to us.

[ChristianCrusader]

Re: Howdy

Well then, forgive me for being suspicious. We have a lot of people come on here who like to pretend that they are Christians.

So tell me friend, what is your favorite Biblical scripture? How about your take on the book of Judges? What role do you think the Deuterocanonical books should play in teaching people about God?

No, no, I assure you, I am not a Catholic. I'm on YOUR SIDE

[ChristianCrusader]

Sister Lycia, you and I both know its a troll. If you wait awhile it will expose its self. They cant help themselves at some point in time Jesus will take control of their keyboard and the truth shall be set free.

No, no, no, I assure you you have it all wrong! I'm not a troll, I'm Southern Baptist!


I'm sorry, I didn't realize that Maccabees wasn't accepted here! I'll happily give you another verse, from the New Testament: Mark 11:12-14

I only assumed the apocrypha was accepted here because your official bible here is the 1611 KJV. I assure you they are in there (in a secondary section, of course)!

They're not considered the inspired word of God, but some of them, at least Maccabees, are important for Christians to be familiar with. After all Hannukah is because of Judas Maccabeus. So, even if the Jews don't have the Apocrypha in their Old Testament, they celebrate a holiday based on what happened in it!

I've read the Gospel of Thomas and some of those other rejected works. Even though they aren't considered inspired, there is a lot of neat stuff in them about Jesus!
