This guy is wrong. Baptists are not Reformers, nor are we Protestants. Baptists pre-date the Reformation, and even pre-date Roman Catholicism. This is Baptist History 101. Cardinal Hosius, the Roman Catholic historian of the Reformation specifically states that they pre-date the Reformation and would outnumber the Protestantz if they had not been murdered for the last 1,200 years. Why? Because 1,200 years before the Reformation is roughly when the Roman Catholics began and they murdered the true Christians. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Romans 3:19-20 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Absolutely right. We must following our lord Jesus Christ. Not this pastors and priests divisions of thie church's.

So do I become a Christian? and then have to do something to become a Baptist? Am I saved? and then have to do something extra to become a Baptist? Then why be one?

I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day Saints too and I am now a Baptist i didnt get baptised Yet but i preffer a church only based in the Bible.

Jesus saves. You & I & everyone has sinned & done evil and the punishment for that is Hell forever but, God didn't want that so Jesus who is God (God is a trinity, meaning he is three in also known as three 'persons' in one being named God. The Father, The Son/Jesus, and The Holy Spirit are equally God, but they are different but equally the same being It's why God is called a trinity because he is triune.) Jesus came to earth as a human man and lived a perfect life, and he did many different kinds of miracles and the leaders hated him, and they wanted him killed, so they took him and killed by nailing him to a cross and letting him die but, when he did this he took your punishment of Gods wrath and paid your price on the cross, and he made a way for you to be saved from paying your evil deeds yourself and Jesus says if you place your faith in him alone as your personal savior he will save you. You can't earn salvation because you already don't deserve it and we deserve hell, but Jesus died for your sins and if you trust him alone as your savior he will save you.

It makes my heart smile to see new members. I was born into a family of baptists and HATED going but god called me back to him as an adult and I couldn’t be more proud “tho I still often fall short”

The Word “Baptize”: Based on Luke 3:16, and John 1:33, and Acts 11:15-16, the most important thing about the word "baptize" in the New Testament has nothing to do with water. The Holy Spirit is the master teacher promised to New Covenant believers in Jeremiah 31:34, and John 14:26, and is found fulfilled in Ephesians 1:13, and 1 John 2:27. Unfortunately, many modern Christians see water when they read the word "baptize" in the text. Based on the above, what is the one baptism of our faith found in the passage below? How many times is the word "Spirit" found in the passage, and how many times is the word "water" found in the passage? Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

@@SpotterVideowhen you are saved you are baptized by the spirit. And are saved. Baptism baptism by water is just a step of obedience to declare out loud and in a symbolic gesture that you ate saved

@@SpotterVideoso I’m other words the only true baptism is the one that happens by fire, (by Holy Spirit), and the one in water is but a declaration and a step of obedience

Christianity is broad, being Baptist is just a subjugation

Baptist Church is not in the scriptures

I attended a Southern Baptist church a decade ago and I felt as though there was a huge difference between the mentalities of the leaders of the church--owners,pastor(s),musicians,other areas and roles completing the functional church life...there was a vast disconnect between them and 'us',as in---the group I arrived with originally and throughout my three yrs of weekly attendance there,every Sunday;once in the morning and several hours later,that Sunday evening. Three years and nothing sticks out.Bible study every Sunday.One hour. Not one of those bible studies stands out.I do remember that we were often told that Jesus died for the sins of the world and that was something I should feel enthusiastic about.And that I need to be saved NOW.And I became angry and preoccupied with the lack of creativity and effort in describing Jesus and what he did,and how it meant something so deeply and so loudly.I feel like there is probably enough 'to' Jesus,his time,his family,his life and how at 33(?)he did what he did.And what was it anyway?Why ws his fate so wanted by those who sought it's happening?I feel like time and energy are squandered by those with the platforms.

Mention of Baptist church? The temple is the body, the body must be baptized to show faith. More important is love- is there a love church?

@@RinaldoHardeman so again, where is the Baptist Church found in scripture? You must be baptized to be a Baptist, but you believe baptism isn't necessary, so it is not necessary to be a baptist.....

It's not necessary to be a Baptist, you are correct. Baptists emphasize personal faith and the importance of scripture. There are many ways to skin a cat, so other types of Christians go to heaven all the same, supposing they have faith in Jesus Christ. As for whether or not going to church is required to go to heaven, the answer would be no, it's not required. It is heavily encouraged. Jesus went to church. If Jesus does something, it's the correct thing to do

@Max Aplin. I agree with you and Pastor John: entangling the Kingdom of Christ with politics, as seen in recent US history, immediately closes the fellowship of Believers. Taking narrow ecclesiastical beliefs and forcing them through civil government resulted in the U. S. Civil War. In part, it was the result of the "White Church" supporting oppression of non-whites.

110% agree

The true time of the "reformation" is found below. The term "new covenant" is not found in the 1689 LBCF. Why not? Heb 9:10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. New Covenant Whole Gospel: Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him. He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth. Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis? Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (Acts 2:36) Watch the KZfaq video “The New Covenant” by Bob George.

@Richie Notice the words of Peter is 1Pet3:21 "Baptism which corresponds to *this* " Corresponds to what? The passing through water of noah & his family. It is an appeal to God for a good conscience v21 So no, baptism is not "accepting" God if that was the correct way you meant what you said.

Yes its symbolic.

So where in scripture do you find the Baptist Church? and how to become a member?

@@DannyLoyd church membership: Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. -Acts 2:41

Baptist was a slanderous name given baptists by RCC & Protestants. They called them AnaBaptists or re-baptizers in the dark ages.

Makes you Baptist

Why?

I’d say Baptists usually have a favorable view of non denominational churches and other similar evangelical styles, maybe some Pentecostals. On the other end of the spectrum are liturgical styles like Roman Catholics or Eastern Orhodox - totally different worship styles, beliefs, and customs.

I'm from the deep south, I can say that the only type of Christianity I heard bad things about growing up was Catholicism. Lots of Baptists don't like the idea of putting a man up high like that. Jesus Christ is the one who sits on high. Also, the idea of saints (from the very southern churches I went to) is considered heretical. Praying to someone else as a sort of middle man between us and God is considered insane. Yeah, that's about it though

There are different Baptist Church denominations out there. Southern Baptists are one of them. They're more conservative as opposed to other Baptist churches

Personal faith in Jesus Christ is what is required to go to heaven. You don't have to be a Baptist to accomplish that. There are many ways to skin a cat. You won't go to hell if you're a Presbyterian

@@thetreedictator3168 well, at least someone tried to provide an answer, praise the Lord. So, you're holding basically that deep faith in Jesus saves. But the demons also believe in Jesus: they even obey Him. Why then are they damned?

@ingoditrust7784 I believe you are referencing James 2. To respond in a way a Baptist would to your question, I would say that demons haven't accepted the holy spirit into themselves, which is the only unforgivable sin. So, while demons may believe in the lord, and even fear his power, there is more to being a Christian than just knowledge and emotion. Christians emulate Christ. Christ treated everyone good. So, Baptists do works as well, just like Baptists, but it's more of a matter of course. Doing good things is not the point, but true belief in Jesus Christ naturally leads to doing good

*just like Catholics

@@thetreedictator3168 so, it is about both faith and deeds, right? Because you have to put your money where your mouth is

I think Evangelical is better than Eastern Orthodox, which in turn is better than Roman Catholic. But I think there are some differences between Eastern Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox. I don't know much about the latter. Are they the ones who believe 1 Enoch is Scripture? I also think Eastern Orthodox understanding understanding of the Trinity is probably a little better than Evangelical. But overall I would say that Evangelical is better.

Eastern Orthodox (and Ethiopian Orthodox) has a better understanding of how the "canon" should be understood, as well a better, fuller canon. They actually hold the same canon the Geneva and KJV had in their first 100+ years of printing. (Though I very much dislike the term "canon.") Gather up all the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. - Jesus (John6) See also Matthew 13:26-30 The Greek church also has a better NT textual heritage than today's evangelicals or Catholics. (Byzantine vs Alexandrian/Vaticanus) They are in great error, however, on other issues. Tho they are, of course, blind to them. But no more blind to them than Protestants and Catholics are to their respective errors. All have leaven. Matthew 13:33 Is your dad a follower of Jesus? Does he like and love Jesus? Or does he love his church? These same questions should be posed by professing believers of any stripe. Have a respectful chat with your dad and just talk about JESUS! Not about Christ as a theological construct, but about Jesus the Christ who speaks and acts and who is with his people "always, even unto the end of the world." Blessings.

If you’re looking to make connection most churches should be very embracing

If you are willing, you can find it anywhere...if you are skeptical, you can find it everywhere...there are so many resources to find peace...

I can’t speak for your local church but as followers of Christ they should be welfoming

If they don't welcome you, they aren't Christians

the right religion is the Way

I absolutely agree! Was Christ divided? Or, are we baptized in the name of Paul. The apostle Paul was grateful that he baptized no one except Crispus, and Gaius. Lest anyone would say that Paul baptized in his own name. It's crucial that humanity throw away uninspired man-made creeds, and follow the inspired teachings of Christ's ambassadors. The Apostles. To use GOD'S written word as a blue print, and a guide. Sincerely, Paul R.Wright from Texas.

Hi Rob. That is such a shame that you had to experience that. As a reformed Baptist, I don't believe in baptising babies but we know that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Baptism does not save, it symbolises dying to the olf life by going under water and being raised to new life in Christ. While Baptism is often needed for membership at a baptist church like it is at my church, anyone telling you it is necessary for regeneration or to be saved is also deceived. God blesd.

I'm sorry to hear that. Indeed there are some Baptist congregations that is overzealous, ultra conservative, saying that they are the more blessed and telling that other believers will just be spectators in heaven. Trying to redo the baptism as the baptism they have in other Baptist churches is not "right".

I am pretty sure almost all Baptists do not teach Baptism necessary for salvation.

@@au7-721 you are wrong.

The Baptistic View of Baptism Those who advocate believer’s baptism insist that infant baptism is not baptism at all (even if the infant is immersed). This is because they have a different understanding of baptism. In their view, baptism is principally a testimony given by the person baptized, first in word and then symbolically in water. Since an infant cannot give a testimony, a genuine infant baptism is an impossibility. However, the Bible nowhere portrays baptism as the testimony of the person baptized. Passages that link faith to baptism (such as Acts 8:12; 18:8) simply show that faith, publicly professed, is a necessary condition for baptism. Indeed, it is appropriate to include a statement of faith in the baptismal ceremony. However, a baptism itself (the application of water, with accompanying words) is a statement by God (through the church) to and about the person being baptized, not a statement by that person. The person baptized is the recipient of baptism from a minister of Jesus Christ, acting in his name (Matt. 28:18-20; cf. Acts 2:37-42; 8:16; 35-38). Once we recognize that faith is a condition for baptism, and that baptism itself is not a demonstration of faith by the person baptized, the question can be asked, Whose faith is required? As we look now at the relevant biblical teaching, we will see that the faith of parents fully suffices for the baptism of their children. Baptism and Discipleship When Jesus instituted Christian baptism, he instructed his disciples to “make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them ... [and] teaching them to observe all that I commanded you” (Matt. 28:19-20). Baptism, then, begins the discipling process, which continues throughout one’s life. Everyone recognizes that the children of believers should be taught to observe the commandments of Jesus (see Eph. 6:1-3, 4). But this passage indicates that they should be baptized first. On the Day of Pentecost, those who were converted by the preaching of Peter “were baptized; and there were added [to the church] that day about three thousand souls” (Acts 2:41). They then received instruction “in the apostles’ teaching” and participated fully in the life of the church (vs. 42). Again we see that baptism marks one’s entrance into the church, into the fellowship of the saints. But what about the children of these converts? Were they baptized and included in the church fellowship? Baptists want to leave children unbaptized but include them in the life of the church, but that is not the biblical pattern. Children of Abraham In order to understand the proper place of children in the church, it is necessary to understand that the church consists of those who have received the promise of spiritual blessing that was originally given to Abraham. The third chapter of Galatians spells this out carefully, concluding, “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise” (Gal. 3:29). This means that the covenant that God made with Abraham remains in effect today (in its “new covenant” form, of course). Otherwise, we could not be Abraham’s offspring, receiving what was promised to him and his descendants. The Abrahamic covenant (Gen. 12:1-3; 15:1-7; 17:1-14) was confirmed to his son Isaac (Gen. 26:1-5, 23-24) and his grandson Jacob (Gen. 28:10-15; cf. 48:15-16; 50:24). It continued with the nation of Israel (Ex. 2:24; 6:2-8), for whom the Law of Moses was added (as the Mosaic or “old” covenant) until the time of Christ (Gal. 3:17-19), in whom the promises given to Abraham were fulfilled (vss. 16, 22-28). After Abraham exercised faith in God’s covenant promises (Gen. 15:6), the Lord added the rite of circumcision to the covenant arrangement (Gen. 17:9-14). He received “the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he [already] had while uncircumcised” (Rom. 4:11). Because Abraham was righteous (his sins were forgiven) as the result of his faith, he was circumcised as a sign given by God that sealed that righteousness. Physical, outward circumcision signified spiritual, inward cleansing of the heart (Ezek. 44:7; Rom. 2:28-29), a spiritual reality for Abraham and all his true, believing descendants. Not only Abraham, but all males in his household, were to be circumcised. Henceforth, all males were to be circumcised as eight-day-old infants, throughout the generations of the covenant community (Gen. 17:12-13). Circumcision marked one’s entrance into the covenant community; without it, one was to be “cut off from his people” (vs. 14). This was God’s way of signifying that the promises given to faithful Abraham extended also to his children (and anyone else who came under and accepted his authority). Some of those, like his son Ishmael, left the covenant community and renounced the faith of Abraham. Others in Israel’s sorry history remained in the covenant community, but did not share the faith of Abraham. A remnant, however, by the grace of God, remained faithful. A New Covenant Sign Into the circumcised community was born Jesus, in whom the promise of spiritual blessing for all peoples of the world would be fulfilled (Gal. 3:8-9, 14). The line of physical descent from Abraham reached its climax in the person of Jesus (vss. 16, 19). After him, only spiritual descent mattered (vss. 7-9, 25-26). Converts would no longer be incorporated into the nation of Israel. Consequently, a covenant sign that focused on physical descent through the male line was no longer appropriate. A new sign of the covenant was needed-one that all people, whether Jew or Gentile, male or female, could receive. As we have seen, water baptism was instituted by Jesus as the new sign of entrance into the community of faith. Essentially, then, baptism replaced circumcision. The change from circumcision to baptism is reflected in Acts 8:12, where we read that Samaritans were being baptized, “men and women alike.” There is no reason to point out that people of both genders were now receiving the sign of the covenant, except to contrast it with the old sign of the covenant. Implied in this contrast is the fact that baptism had replaced circumcision. Spiritual Circumcision There were Judaizers in the church who wanted Gentile converts to be circumcised and to follow the whole Mosaic law. But in various epistles, Paul insisted that Christians not only had nothing to gain from circumcision and Judaism, but actually had everything to lose! Writing to the Colossians, he declared that Christians were complete in Christ and should not look to Judaism or any other religion to supplement their faith (Col. 2:8-23). His statements specifically about circumcision and baptism (vss. 11-12) deserve close attention. Christians have no need for physical circumcision, Paul indicates, because “in Him”-that is, as part of their spiritual union with Christ-they have already been “circumcised with a circumcision made without hands” (vs. 11). That is, they have already received that inward circumcision, that spiritual cleansing of the heart, that is effected by the Holy Spirit. In Romans 2:28-29, Paul refers to this as inward circumcision, “which is of the heart, by the Spirit.” This spiritual circumcision, Paul continues, consists of “the removal of the body of the flesh” (Col. 2:11). But what is “the body of the flesh”? An important textual variant here reads “the body of the sins of the flesh” (NKJV). In either case, another contrast with circumcision is in view. Physical circumcision removes a small piece of flesh. But spiritual circumcision, figuratively speaking, removes or puts off the whole body of sinful flesh, that is, “our old self,” “our body of sin” that has been “done away with” (Rom. 6:6). When the Spirit cleanses the heart, the whole weight of sin is removed, and the sinful flesh is renounced. This spiritual cleansing, Paul continues, is effected by “the circumcision of Christ” (Col. 2:11). Since this verse has all along been speaking of the spiritual experience of the sinner, “the circumcision of Christ” must likewise be something in Christian experience, not something in the life of Jesus (i.e., his death, as baptistic writers suppose). It is the spiritual circumcising that belongs to Christ-“the circumcision done by Christ” (NIV) or simply “Christian circumcision.” The Judaizers were insisting on the physical circumcision set forth in the Law of Moses; Paul was upholding the spiritual circumcision of Christ. Paul’s opponents might well have agreed that an inward cleansing was in order. However, they would have insisted that this be signified by physical circumcision. But Paul indicates that that is not necessary, for the Christian has already been “buried with Him” [that is, Christ] in baptism (Col. 2:12; cf. Rom. 6:4-5). Physical circumcision has nothing to add. A new sign, baptism, has been received. Finally, Christians have been “raised up with Him through faith in the working of God” (Col. 2:12). “We have been buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that as Christ was raised from the dead ... we too might walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:4). What do the Judaizers have to offer in comparison with that? We are already complete in Christ (Col. 2:10)! It is part of the teaching of Colossians 2:11-12, then, that baptism has replaced circumcision for the covenant community. The Abrahamic covenant is fulfilled in the new covenant, and circumcision has been replaced by baptism as the sign and seal of the righteousness of faith.

Congregationalists are not Baptists. Traditionally, going way back, Congregationalists hold to pædo-baptism and have a church government build on laity-voting, instead of elder rule (which is the form of church "government" in most Baptist churches, especially reformed). Today, Congregationalist churches tend very much to be decidedly "liberal" in their view of scripture.

"congregational" governance just means each local congregation is a self-governing direct democracy, without governing bishops, etc. Several denominational traditions use this model. "Congregational" as a denomination are basically the old English Puritan tradition, and while each congregation is independent, they are otherwise similar to Presbyterians, and baptize infants. Baptists also have congregational governance, but have believers baptism, and their own distinct tradition.

this is pedantic

Hi there, I’m a young baptist preacher from Kentucky. The common belief I believe and that I have been taught my whole life is that salvation is eternal, and unremovable. And yes you are right, drinking and smoking would not strip you of salvation. But, they would pull you away from god in your life on earth and make it more difficult to work for him and draw others to salvation. It’s commonly taught in my community that a baptists life is still a life lived full of repentance, not because we fear not going to heaven, but because we want and strive to be closer to god in this life so that we can share his glory with the lost and undone of this world.

If you truly accepted Jesus in your life you will no longer enjoy sins .You might be tempted and fall but there will be a conviction of the Holy Spirit you will not remain in sins anymore .You are given a new nature ,a new heart so you must walk in the newness of life and follow God's will in your life.OSAS is not a license to sin!

Well, I find that this make Pastors much more accountable. The scripture says that "in the multitude of counselors there is safety" . Christ is our ultimate authority and the entire church itself is His body.

Why did you marry a baptist if not to brainwash her into believing that commie pinko atheism is the way to go since it worked so well in Russia, China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and North Korea, just to name a few?

shouldn't have married her if you think she's brainwashed lol

A lot of these phrases you mention are regarded as common formalities to assist in the salvation of others. An altar call is a modern formality to make it easier for people to come to the altar and pray humbly that god can save them, and “the age of accountability” is just the age where children begin to understand right from wrong and have, metaphorically, eaten from the tree of knowledge.

The Bible never says that whole families were baptised by John the Baptist. You are mistaken on this.

It was the Baptist of repentance for the nation of Israel. They were not born again being baptized after salvation.

when does a pastor stop being a pastor?

@thomasthellamas9886 Pastors are active office bearers in a particular Assembly of Christ. Piper no longer operates in that capacity. I take the technical and practical view of things. Beside what church is he an active member of? He is no longer entitled to that title since he is out on his own. Desiring God is an independent non church organization. The scriptures recognize no such entity. This is a crucial issue in a world where men roam freely and without any accountability to a body of Christ, and that is my issue. Again, please tell me what church he is an active part of? And why did he leave the church in Minneapolis? These are all questions that are left in the air with a man of Piper's stature and reputation. It creates a bad image and a disregard for the primacy of the Church of our Lord brother. Right now, he is just a Christian man with a theological opinion.

I mean, infant baptism is part of the Calvinist tradition.

@@mmtoss6530 Oh, that's funny. I hadn't noticed that before. Thanks.

How so? How can an infant believe? Mark 16:16

Exactly. His commands. He said "Believe and be Baptized" Mark 16:16 Not "Be Baptized and believe (some time later in life)".

Matt 28: 19, Go ye therefore, and TEACH all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Hoy Ghost. I don't think Jesus is talking about water Baptism here, but, to become one with the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. Being Baptized with the Holy Spirit is more important than being Baptized with water. An infant can't be taught, or, believe, when born. They are born in sin, therefore, they need saving, too. If they die before the age of knowing right from wrong, the age of accountability, which only God knows, they are innocent, and God receives them into His Kingdom. But, Baptizing them in water does nothing for them. For the Jews, during Jesus' day, being baptized in water was how they were forgiven of sin. But, after Jesus died, that changed, amen. Now we get baptized in water as an outward demo of what happened to us on the inside. We died in Christ, and, are risen again to new life. Life in Christ.

@@sandragambrel9721 I think you are right that baptising babies in water does nothing for them. But Matt 28:19 is certainly referring to Christian water baptism. Note that in this verse baptising is a command given to Christians. We are told to baptise. So it can't be about baptism in the Spirit, because that is not something that we can do.

But we need to be careful that we don't use the label 'heretic' too freely. Not every error is heresy.

That's why there are Baptists Hank.
