YOU: What's your position on Predestination?

God predestinated a Gentile church...And whosoever will come, come...

Me: So Calvinists are wrong? And on a second note, apparently Jews have no place in the Church (that would certainly be news to the first Christians).

YOU: What's your position on Free Will?

We have the free will to accept salvation or reject it...We have the free will to follow God or follow Satan...

Me: No Argument here, except you minimize the importance of Christ's Grace in enabling us to choose to follow God.

YOU: What's your position on the Holy Eucharist?

And invention by your church to put a leash on it's members...

Me: Hmm, so Jesus invented it I guess. I recommend reading John 6:22-59 and the Last Supper dialogues.

YOU: What's your position on infant baptism?

There are two types of baptism...On is immersion in water, the other is immersion in the Holy Spirit...Obviously you can't baptize a baby in water, you'll drown him/her...And there's no need to baptize the baby into the Holy Spirit since where there is no knowledge of sin, there is no sin attributed...

Me: In the Bible a number of occasions result in entire households being baptized, it would be logical that infants were in the household, thoughts?

YOU: What's your position on the Rapture?

My position is the bible position...And that of course is that at the fullness of times, when the dispensation of grace is complete, God will call out his espoused bride and bring her to the wedding...

Me: LOL, very tricky there. Is it pre-trib or post-trib or somewhere in between? Or are a lot of Protestant groups wrong as you build your own little Church of Iscool?

YOU: What's your position on Dispensationalism?

My position is the bible's position...My position is Paul's position...

Me: It's a very entertaining response, but ultimately allows a heck of a lot of wiggle room. Cause two people can apparently read the same scripture and come to different conclusions. How do you explain that?

I didn't know you were going to be so nit-picky...Of course it's not a church of just Gentiles...It's for anyone...

Could have been lucky and found no families with little babies but I suspect it's more likely that Jesus and the apostles followed what had been preached and when a person came forward to repent of sin, or call on the name of the Lord, little babies were not required because they couldn't, and they had no knowledge of sin anyway...

If you think I'm building my own little church, you don't get out much...

I guess that's cause some folks read the gospels that were written to Jews (salvation is of the Jews) and try to combine them with the scripture that was written to the Gentile church (Paul's epistles)...Paul says you must rightly divide the word of truth...Not combine it all together...
