I’m curious if that guy knows what the restoration movement really is. The reference to calvinism and the reformation just confuses me in the “note to coc’ers”. Its also strange how there’s no reference to teh EO, RCC, Lutheranism or other european denominations which ascribe to baptismal regeneration.

It shows a complete lack of understanding of the restoration movement and its teaching on baptism. From my church’s webpage:

What does the church believe about baptism?
The Bible teaches that baptism demonstrates we have received God’s grace by putting faith in Christ, repenting of sin and confessing Christ.
(Romans 5:1-2; Luke 24:45-47; Acts 3:19, 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9; Matthew 10:32; Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:11; 1 John 4:15; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:1-7; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21; 1 John 5:13)

Once you have acknowledged that Jesus Christ is Lord, baptism by immersion is the tangible way of showing that you trust Him alone for your salvation. It is not only a symbol that you are committed to Christ, but it also represents the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Those who have been baptized in a form other than total immersion (such as christening or dedication), are immersed to become members of Connection Pointe.

Throughout the 150 years of this particular movement, there have been a number of debates about baptism, but abe’s site it completely whacked out in its take.

Also what happened to your boilermakers?

GO BUCKS!!!

The Boilers didn’t bother showing up tonight… too hot and muggy for an October night.

Just an observation from being at the games over the years:

1) If the opposing fans are drunk, but subdued, you’re playing against Illinois.

2) If the opposing fans are sprinkled throughout the crowd, are drunk, loud and obnoxious, you’re playing against Notre Dame.

3) If the opposing fans are sprinkled throughout the crowd, are drunk, loud and obnoxious, and you have to cover your children’s ears, you’re playing against Ohio State.

4) If the opposing fans are sprinkled throughout the crowd, are drunk, loud and obnoxious, puke in the isles, and you have to cover your children’s ears, you’re playing against Wisconsin.

5) If the opposing fans are sprinkled throughout the crowd, are drunk and complain about their team as much as about yours, they’re from a Michigan school.

6) If the opposing fans are so polite you don’t know they’re there, as they’re biding their time before you work for them, you’re playing Northwestern.

7) If the opposing fans slink out before halftime to avoid the shame of being seen, you’re playing IU.

If the opposing fans appear to be snooty frat boys who get plastered and make donkeys of themselves after the game, you’re playing Penn State.

In March of 1975 I was born again just outside New York City. My conversion was dramatic having led a very sinful life. I wore hand written T-shirts about Jesus, I listen constantly to Christian radio, I witnessed to everyone including alienating my whole family, I stopped doing drugs and drinking, I immediately stopped swearing, in short I was a completely changed man.

But I was not baptized until two years later. So I know that the teaching that baptism saves is false, I was born again two years before I was baptized. It is a ceremonial carryover from Rome which carried it over from the law. People like Tim do not actually say baptism saves, they add some other importance to it but not salvation.

To his credit, Chris Rosebrough is the only man honest and bold enough to post about it. And if I read his bio correctly he did not always believe it. Go ahead and baptize infants or teens or adults as an outward sign of the covenant, but once you say that baptism saves you have crossed the line.

GO BUCKS!!!

Now theres some heresy!

–Sorry I’ve been away for awhile. Rick, seriously, you can’t deny that a great percentage of the Notre Dame fans are sprinkled.

I’ll just let that sink in without further comment. Let me know when you all start laughing.–

lol lol lol!!

Yea, Phil, but I think I get what he is saying.

Christianity is an exclusive religion. If it is true it has no partners no matter how close.

 

Jazz – yea, very funny and true. The miracle of Saturday we pray will be duplicated this Saturday. Boy I wish we had another shot at Penn State and Purdue, both revealed as pretenders. And Joe Pa, a catholic traitor! Go Irish – the super race. I am first generation Irish/German. My brother and his family live in Munich and his twin lives outside New Your City where I was saved. The one in New Jeresy is born again but the one in Germany is not. I came to be a Notre Dame fan growing up in a half Irish family and I attended some IRA fundraisers in the 1970’s.

Joe Montana, Bettis, Tim Brown, Waters, Golic, and all the rest. National championships from a diminutive school whose scholastic and moral standards preclude them from recruiting as heavily as the other schools. And they believe in baptismal regeneration and transubstantiation both. There are a lot of blogs they could “warm up” to!!

I feel like having some fun today, look out – incoming!!!
