My dad is a member of the CoC. I've listened to his rhetoric and rhetoric from other members all my life. It is FACT that they believe if you aren't a member of the TRUE church you are lost and marching into hell. Just because they don't bluntly tell you that doesn't mean they don't think it.
And when I'm talking about CoC I talking about the Alaxander Cambell church. The Cambellite church. Whatever you wanna call it
They believe their church is the only biblical church found in the bible. A church of any other name is not a member of the body of Christ. Now what does that tell about where they think baptist are going??
WHO should Pastor's Allow to Speak to their Congregations?

I have talked to a CofC member who actually believed Billy Graham is not saved because he doesn't preach baptismal regeneration. She was an exception among the few I know, as most of the others think that's a ridiculous statement.
I do know some CofC members who claim Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16 and 1 Peter 3:21 teach baptismal regeneration, but are not able to adequately defend that view when pressed. I've known one CofC pastor who rejects the concept, and one who preaches it. They graduated from different seminaries, though both seminaries were UCC sponsored. Strange, huh?
So again, not all do, but there are some who do. Best I can do to answer the question. -

And be careful what you say to or about people when you don't know what their experience has been. -

You're clearly STILL in error.
Fact.
The CoC still, and always has believed in baptismal regeneration. If you haven't yet met one, you should climb out of 'whomevers' basement you are occupying and look at historical facts and dismiss at the same time your comic book theological perspectives and erroneous conclusions.
You deny a well known historical fact. Doing so is a commentary on your credibility. -
Go ahead. 'Call the police'. I won't refuse being escorted off of your premises for calling you on your error -- but this is all hypothesis on your part and is simply you pulling your emotional card all the while exposing your anger for being in error.
To be arrested for such an one as you calling the police on me would frankly be an honor. -
Well, in a certain sense, aren't they right about baptism saving?
In another post here, someone described salvation in three parts, past, present, and future.
I WAS saved, from the penalty of sin
I'm still BEING saved from it's power and bondage, and
I WILL BE saved, when He comes back, from the effects of sin, delivered to eternal life in heaven.
Three parts, right?
If I am to be saved from the PRESENT power of sin, that's learning to obey. And since He commands us to be baptized, surely that simple act of obedience is a "part" of that "middle part," the PRESENT part, of salvation. Right?
