    All forms of baptism are supported by the written word, immersion , pouring and sprinkling. I see we will have to pull from the scriptures . Yesh! No wonder why Christ has to intervene or the faith will become so diluted that one would hardly recognize it.
    To be continued......

    The correct NT version would be adult immersion...

    Well then by your own admission you are the pot calling the kettle black. For if you ARE teaching solely from the scriptures you would be able to recognize all truth. You wold have the Holy Spirit and would then be, infallible. But since you admit you are not ,you contradict yourself (further showing yourself to not be the immaculate Bride of Christ) and therefore must cast the the beam from your own eye, before you can see clearly to cast it out of your brothers. WOW! just WOW! And now what is the real gospel, and how do you teach it, and don't all have the real gospel in that we all have bibles? So if you teach the REAL gospel , again is your church infallible?

    Really so why does Paul mention sprinkling and you better be able to back up what you say with scripture alone because I am about to blow your claims up!

    Is this how we want to handle and treat the Word of God? Is it something to use so we can have "Gotcha!" moments for people we disagree with? (i ask myself the same questions...*pulling beam out of my own eye*)

    The scriptures are God breathed and are profitable for doctrine, for correction and teaching in righteousness, that the man of God be fully equipped for every good thing in life. So YUP! I am using God's teaching tool.

    Oh really? Now you will add to your repertoire ,a seer of men's hearts? So another words, because I do not love the lies being spoken by some of your denomination I have not love? There are two kinds of love devilish, which you seem to say is what I need to be in, and Godly which I am speaking in because I am addressing false doctrine. I address everyone's not just yours! I have more love than you then it would seem, and that in true love of God, His word and all believers.

    This whole OP is nothing but an agenda there was NOTHING honest about it! First strike against all of you , speaking from deception, the second, claiming scripture alone while denying it. Third strike- BEARING FALSE witness!

    Greetings from Paul
    (2 Corinthians 1:1-2)

    1Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

    2To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with (all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours)

    3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Thanksgiving
    (Philippians 1:3-11; Colossians 1:3-14; 2 Thessalonians 1:3-4)

    4I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus. 5For in Him you have been enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge, 6because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.

    7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

    Unity in the Church
    (Psalm 133:1-3; Ephesians 4:1-16)

    10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no (divisions among you) and that you may be united in mind and conviction. 11My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,”a or “I follow Christ.”

    13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul? 14I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 16Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember baptizing anyone else. 17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

    The Message of the Cross

    18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written:

    “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;

    the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”b

    20Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

    22Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

    25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

    Wisdom from God

    26Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast in His presence.

    30It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”c

    Yes, this is deja vu all over again. One cannot be in full fellowship with both a Baptist and Catholic church at the same time. I cannot in good conscience participate in the Eucharist at a Catholic church, and the priest there cannot in good conscience allow me to participate.

    Does the Baptist church you attend know that you attend/ a member of a Roman Catholic Church??
    If so, they were wrong in allowing you to be a member.

    Scriptures tells us we can not serve two masters.
    As stated by another post - about communion - the RCC believes in transubstantiation .
    NO (true) Baptists believes such a false doctrine.

    I think you need to sit down and have a very serious conversation with your pastor.

    Nope. They have certain beliefs that are antithetical. A good Catholic believes in transubstantiation. A Baptist does not. They cannot both, in good conscience, participate in the Lord's Supper together without deception.

    I have participated in the Lord's Supper in a Disciples church; our beliefs about the ordinance were close enough to allow it. I could not, however, participate in the Eucharist at Catholic funerals I've attended because we are nowhere near agreement on its meaning.

    Jesus the Bread of Life John 6:52-52

    …52At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” 53So Je-
    sus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you
    have no life in you. 54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at
    the last day.…
    So , He is not present in this supper you are saying? It is NOT His body and blood, then who’s? It obviously is something significant.
    A believer after He blesses it in Yeshua's name makes it so no. So,it is by faith that it is? And since we are told
    that we are the temple of the living God, wouldn’t it be the Holy Spirit within us which makes it so?
    Sharing in the Lord's Supper 1Corinthians 11:28-30

    …28Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29For anyone who eats
    and drinks without (recognizing) the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30That is why many among you
    are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.…
    So it would seem that NOT HAVING faith is what causes this judgment to come upon oneself. Maybe that is
    why you should not eat and drink because you deny it is His body and blood?

    The Last Supper Matthew 26:26-28

    26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying,
    “Take and eat; this is My body.”

    27Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28This is My
    blood of the covenant,which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

    So definitely an act of faith. Only those who believe should do this . Again is it a belief in different God's? It would seem we are all to do this when we come together.

    God's Righteous Judgment Romans 2:

    1You therefore have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

    5But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. 6God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”a 7To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. 8But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.

    9There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek; 10but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek. 11For God does not show favoritism.

    12All who sin apart from the Law will also perish apart from the Law, and all who sin under the Law will be judged by the Law. 13For it is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the Law who will be declared righteous.

    14Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the Law, do by nature what the Law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the Law, 15since they show that the work of the Law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them. 16This will come to pass on that day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.

    Deuteronomy 10:17
    For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and accepting no bribe.

    Job 34:19
    who is not partial to princes and does not favor rich over poor? For they are all the work of His hands.

    Acts 10:34
    Then Peter began to speak: "I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,
    Matthew 7:12-13
    12In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the prophets. 13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.…
    James 2:1
    My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.
    Seem rsr you sin, not only denying the POWER of the Lord's words and decrees but also show partiality. What Christ says is so! He says eat my body HAVE LIFE those who do not NO LIFE as faith without works is dead. It would seem your faith is as alive as a corpse. No wonder why you do not believe He is truly present in His supper.

    THAT IS RIGHT SO THEN WHY DO YOU NOT BELIEVE ON EVERYTHING HE SAYS? You are deleting out what I said , it is what HE SAYS. If you reject one thing you reject ALL! A HOUSE DIVIDED IS NOT THE LORD! Half a truth is the greatest lie for it is DECEPTION a lie is a lie when it is bold faced but a half truth is DECEPTION. You can not divide the Lord like the Baby in Solomon's wisdom decision. He gave the baby to the woman who would not have such a thing (A DIVIDING). So TO ME and my church NOT TO YOU and your Church. You divided the WORD like the LORD'S garments. ALL HE SPEAKS IS THE BREAD OF LIFE! AND HE SAID EAT AND DRINK AND LIVE! Do not, then DIE, for you have no life. Please! You people have NO FAITH, deceivers! Half truthers , THE BIGGEST LIARS AND DENIERS OF THE FAITH. BEGONE! I am done with you!
