Mary, Mother of God, The Greatest of all Her Titles

There is no baptism into a denomonation, only into Christ. It is an interesting question whether a person baptized while believing a false Gospel has a legitimate baptism. I don’t see how that holds up. In the NT, every Christian baptism was of those who professed the true faith (though some professed it insincerely). In no case is there an example of a NT baptism into Christ of anyone professing a false Gospel, nor of anyone too young or too incompetent to profess faith in Christ.

Logically then, if someone was raised to trust in their own righteousness, or in the merits of some human system, and they later come to realize they were misled, and choose at that time to be baptized into Christ, that would be their first legitimate baptism, as the purveyors of a false Gospel have no authority to administer baptism anyway.

Bottom line, God will keep track of the technicalities. Our main job is to always look to Him in faith, and not ourselves. After all, that is the testimony of baptism, that we have died to the law of sin and death, and been raised into newness of resurrection life in Christ, all because of Him.

Peace,

You’ll have to ask Moses...

You and the rest that make fun of God’s Pilgrim Church on Earth will have your day in front of the Lord.

You and the rest that say that the Beast of Rome is God’s Pilgrim Church on Earth will have your day in front of the Lord; too.

My five year old child had no problem understanding this command of Jesus.

Poor thing!

I hoped it's learned the TRUTH by now!

It is an interesting question whether a person baptized while believing a false Gospel has a legitimate baptism.

Or for someone who was baptized without their consent or knowledge or ability to believe.

Well, you post to me on threads and send to me little digs via freep mail, so run along, this is an open forum.

Mary was the mother of Jesus. No doubt. The argument is about who was Jesus?

No; the argument is about CONTROL!!!

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,

' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.'

'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.'

Please do so now and do not include me in future mass/group pings.

Go back to yer pigeons; cause no one is gonna play THIS game with you.

[MHGinTN]

You might even amuse yourself by reading the entire post to which I pinged you ...

[Elsie]

You know more than the earliest Church fathers and all the Catholic (real Christian theologians) that have yet lived.

We'll pardon your bombast, bluster, braggitry and boasting if you ask us to.

[Elsie]

Are you ignorant or insolent?

Bullheaded and stubborn are a bit closer...

[af_vet_1981]

ording to your demand Are you ignorant or insolent?

Neither; Why are you making it personal again ?

Your link was formed in the form of a question, not a confessing statement. The phrase "God the Son" is absent from your personal blog. Now, you have answered the question as to whether Jesus is "God the Son" with a denial of sorts, " Yet you can search the entire Bible from which that conclusion is taught and you will not find the phrase Jesus is God the Son or "God the Son" or even Jesus is God. Thus according to your demand for this explicit statement it must be questionable that the Holy Spirit believes Jesus is God the Son, or even that Jesus is God."

Thank you for expressing what you believe.

I have never included you in a ping list. Please remove me from your ping list. I sent you exactly ONE FREEP mail telling you that another member was still banned, that is not a "little dig."

So I am again asking you politely to remove me from your ping list.

Of course, you constantly equivocate in your use of “dead.”

You seem not to believe in life after death.

The real question is: Do people cease to exist at the time of their physical death?

[MHGinTN]

Lol ... logic foreign to you?

"'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, ' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.' "

Gotcha Then the question is what does mother mean?

[Elsie]

14 Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.

Of course, you constantly equivocate in your use of “dead.”

Then therefore ELSIE said to y'all plainly: Mary is dead.

[Elsie]

“Mother” means a way to control the narrative.

I fail to understand why it’s seems to be SO hard for any of our FR Catholics to ADMIT that the phrase “Mother of GOD” is NOT found in the bible.

[ex-snook]

"SO hard for any of our FR Catholics to ADMIT that the phrase “Mother of GOD” is NOT found in the bible."

Sorry if that's what you have been waiting for allow me to state the phrase 'Mother of God' is not in the bible. But I think if stating that phrase would be the subject of any disbelief, we would have included that phrase in the bible.
