Paul was glad he hadn't water baptized many people, and he said that God did not send him to baptize but to preach the gospel. Quoting: Darth Snarkiest So if water baptism were required or even recommended, the NT has a very strange way of saying it; in fact, it says the opposite. Our baptism is by the Holy Spirit, not water. Water is water and Spirit is spirit. Baptism in holy Spirit is not being baptized in physical water nor in physical earth nor in physical air nor in physical fire even. One is to immerse oneself in the spirit of holiness, immersed in holy spirit. One receives the gift of the holy Spirit. Baptism in water is not required. Baptism in holy Spirit is required. Water is water and Spirit is spirit. |

But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." (Mat. 3:11) Paul said "For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power." (1 Cor. 1:17) Jesus did a lot of things we cannot do and were not meant to do. What matters is what he told us to do, and what he told us is to believe him. |

So, you are very right, he accepted Jesus, right before he died, hanging on that cross beside Jesus. Sorry I got a headache These are the times that tries men's and women's souls!

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 50564182 So it's ok to forsake the word of God in favor of our precious children and making their greatest fantasies come alive? Got it. I understand the truth hurts but at some point it is time to do what is right by God. So you are the one to tells us what is "right by God?" What are your credentials? Are you a messenger from God? Clearly, my eyes are open. More than I can say for you. The only thing that tells us what is "right by God" is the Bible. You don't need special credentials to read it and understand it. In fact, those that have so called "credentials" from some seminary school are the most brain washed people I've ever seen. It is a historical fact that pagan peoples celebrated a festival around the spring equinox where they worshiped Ashteroth (a general term for a feminine goddess) such as Ishtar or Oester. It is a historical fact that they used rabbits and eggs as a symbol of fertility and that they prayed to the East in the morning (sun-rise service) to their false gods. It is a Biblical fact that God tells his people not to keep the customs of the pagans. He didn't say "take their customs and holidays and Christinaize them". Deuteronomy 12:30 - Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their god? even so will I do likewise. Leviticus 18:27 - (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled:) 18:30- Therefor shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the Lord your God. According to you if someone has established a custom or wrote a tune and it was not from a Jewish or Christian source God forbids its use. Bull! Some of the most beloved Christian music and customers are from non Christian sources including food and cultural observances. Christians are free to eat foods and behave in love and moderation in all things. Please sell your misconceptions to someone who cares about your opinions! I don't! Martin Luther King . . .

You can't honestly say that God is ok with that when he instructs us to worship him in spirit and truth.

If you think observing a few cultural customs is idolatry that is between you and God. I have no problem observing Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc. and neither do millions of Christians world wide.
