Is there anything wrong in seeking peace with your fellow human beings? The bible encourages all to seek for peace. The Pope is not trying to make Moslems and Christians one in the sense you are implying. He is seeking for enabling environment where both Christians and Moslems can dwell in...

Thank you for the detailed explanation. The scripture instructs us to fight with love love and love always even when persecuted. And, wear all the armour of God -- to bring down all strongholds to the obedience of Christ. Love repels works of darkness. Christians must fight by way of...

The point is that it does not matter whether you baptise in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost or in the name of Jesus or the Lord Jesus. Understanding the unity of the Deity (of God) and the authority and power given unto Jesus should remove any doubt or misunderstanding one...

No, I am not aware. Thank you for making me aware of the source of your opinion or understanding on this matter, I have just googled this image and found out that it is an excerpt from a book someone wrote. I think, it will be foolhardy on my part to base my understanding on this extract...

But we cannot take away the fact that Allah is the Moslem name for God, whether we like it or not.

How does their President give priority to Moslems? The President of a country is not only a president for the Christians only but a President for all citizens irrespective of religion. If this President is giving priority to Christians, what would have been your opinion?

The point is that, it does not matter whether one is baptised in the name of the father, the Son and the holy Ghost or in the name of Jesus. Both fulfils the standard Jesus gave on how one should be baptised.

Oh, that's what you meant ----- being baptized in the NAME of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Well, my understanding of this scripture is quite different from yours. First, I am very much aware that the Apostles baptized in the name of Jesus and in the name of the Lord Jesus. During...

OK. I missed it.

This does not answer my question. I said you should clarify what you meant that Jesus said to be baptised in a singular name. Where in the scripture did he say that? Our discussion is not on whether it is right or wrong to baptise in the name of Jesus.

What do you mean by using a singular name? I have not come across that. which scripture should I consult? Please clarify before I attempt to answer your question.

I see no contradiction in what I said. Maybe, you may have to go through it again.

on the issue of Baptism by immersion, I have stated my understanding of the scripture and that will suffix. Well, Jesus is not the name of the Father, Son and the holy Ghost, but the name of the Son of God. Of course, in him dwellest all the fulness of the Godhead bodily as the scripture...

First, we know that this incident happened within the same hour of the night the earthquake occurred. That is, in the middle of the night according to scripture. Your argument is presupposing that, either the keeper of the Prison's household were present in the Prison yard at that time of...

Obedience to which command? In the context of our discussion, the obedience is to repent and be baptised in the name of Jesus. The scripture does not show we obey by immersion only. That is my point. And, it does not matter if you are baptised in the name of Jesus OR in the name of the...

What you are quoting here is the spiritual connotation while our discussion is on the physical process of baptism-- -- immersion or otherwise. Either way, it means the same thing.

Non immersion is equally established. Therefore, it is either by immersion or otherwise. If it is by immersion alone, one has to prove via scripture that all those baptised in their houses for instance had swimming pool or rivers flowing in their basement!

IF that is the case, then everybody baptised in the scripture would have gone through that process. I do not think it really matters. What matters is the understanding that goes with baptism.

Is this a joke? I believe you must be mistaken!

Two instances for example 1. When Paul and Silas baptised the keeper of the prison where they were jailed and his household, no mention of immersion in water. Acts 16:33 2. The baptism of Cornelius and his people by Peter as recorded in Acts 10: 44 - 48
