It is interesting to me that Christians believe in God but he doesn’t speak to his children anymore. Amos 3:7 “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” Why doesn’t he speak? Is this scripture incorrect? Why are there so many different interpretations of the written word?
Why baptism by sprinkling?

Matt. 3:16 And Jesus, when he was Baptized, went up straightway out of the water:—Romans 6:3-4 Know ye not , that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were Baptized into his death. Therefore we are buried with him by Baptism into death—There are many similar scriptures.
Immersion seems to be the appropriate way??

I do not understand what you mean when you say It is interesting to me that Christians believe in God but he doesn’t speak to his children anymore.

The WORD from Genesis through Revelation, is the Heavenly Father speaking. Later in Amos 8:11 The Heavenly Father says "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that *I* will send a famine in the land, NOT a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

So given the Heavenly Father promises in Amos 3:7 He will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets, He fulfills that promise through Amos by telling those who would read his prophets what is going to take place and why.

The Heavenly Father does indeed speak to US through His prophets, note what Peter pens in IIPeter 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

I might add that the whole chapter of Peters writing would be a promise fulfilled from Amos 3:7 in revealing secrets. Peter says in this chapter that there are three different heaven/earth ages and there is an obvious famine through out the land these days of those claiming preaching from the Heavenly Father exactly what Peter instructs.

So it is an 'open' secret all laid out but a famine of hearing the WORD is world spread.
