more vanity, scripture clearly teaches baptismal regeneration, the universal Church has taught this doctrine for 2,000 years, because it was received from the Apostles. i don’t point to fallible men, i point to the infallible Church, given authority by Jesus Himself. you claim to be part of this universal church, but you are actually in rebellion against it. Jesus prayed in John 17 we all be one, but your “mind” won’t allow for this. Again, do you understand the audacity of what you are saying, the “pillar of truth” didn’t understand baptism for 16 centuries? the idolatry of worshipping your mind must be very strong indeed. the very men God chose to set the canon of Scripture didn’t understand baptism, unbelievable.
Hmmm...yet I gave you clear Scripture which clearly points in another direction. Seems like you are the one who is vain, refusing to entertain truth. There is no doubt that the Old Testament saints are in Heaven. Did they experience baptism? You will not acknowledge it because you are vain but they did not and still are in Heaven.
The men you seem to worship as infallible did make mistakes. There were cultural situations which led them to make some of the decisions they did. They were still saints, but not infallible contrary to your man-worshipping ideas.
The "pillar of truth" is made up of fallible men so has and will make mistakes.
It's just not right to think it is incapable of some error.
