I was baptized as a baby into Congregationalism. Congregationalism is neither Catholic or Mormon.

Me too…my parents baptized me in a Congreationalist Church as an infant. I have the baptism certificate as documented proof. I know I was not born again as an infant. I think I came into faith in Christ in my late twenties.

That bit weirded me out, as well.
Glad someone else noticed!

There is much in common between Roman Catholicism and Mormonism. I think someone started a thread or two on the subejct on this forum site. Actually, do a Google search too.

You think? You mean you don’t know when you came to faith?

God Bless,

Reformed communities do not have make an exact determination of when we have been granted a new life in Christ. That’s an Arminian Protestant thing.

Are you saying that infant baptismal regeneration is only for elect babies?

I really don’t see what we have in common. We believe in the Trinity, they believe in three gods. We believe in an eternal God, they believe in a god that was once a mortal and that men can become gods (eternal progression). We believe in the virgin birth, they believe that God had sexual relations with the Virgin Mary. They believe that the head of their organization is a prophet who contines to receive direct revelations from God, we don’t believe that about the Pope.

God Bless,
Michael

Before I came on this site, I spent about a year on an all religious forum site dominated by LDS Christians. I also worked in an all Mormon office, and coached baseball with Mormon families. I would not say that there is a remnant in the Mormon Church… as I clearly state that there could be a large remnant in the Catholic Church.

Why is this creature sooo…happy and full of joy? Was she sprinklered with water by a Catholic Priest or a Protestant Pastor? Or, was this creature spinklered with clean water by God?

Peace on earth and to all men of good will.

Finish the verse out…for additonal insight. Don’t look to me, but look to Christ alone as He reavels Himself in the Holy Scirptures.

So doy you have complete certainty that you are of the elect?

You will continue to ignore the evidence?

You lost me, what evidence are you speaking about?

Baptismal regeneration.
The scriptures the testimony of history, of the majority of Christians around the world. etc. etc. etc. Look back at the long post i left here.

I was so impressed with my 9 year old this month. In Sunday school they were learning how to right verses: Matthew 28th chapter 11th verse; John third chapter verse six; Luke chapter seven second verse; Mark sixth chapter, verse one (I’m making the numbers up).

He wrote Angel 28:11; Eagle 3:6; Bull 7:2; Lion 6:1.

 

[Isa_Almisry]

I’m sorry, that’s an exclusive Catholic and Mormon Christian belief. Other Christian communities reject the doctrine of baptismal regeneration in the light of sola scriptura.

Then the reject the scriptura.
Acts 2:38, 22:16; Romans 6:4; Titus 3:5; I Peter 3:21

As many as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. Alleluia. II Corin. 5:16-7.

I’m sorry, that was the exclusive belief of Christianity, except for perhaps the gnostics (do you want to claim them? be our guest. St. John didn’t think much of them, calling them more or less the spawn of Anti-Christ), until the Anabaptists appeared a millenium and a half after Christ.

Your late twenties, and still not sure, huh?

How do you know now?

There’s much in common between OSAS/believer’s baptists and Nichiren Buddhism too. Your point?

sure you’re saved but don’t know when it happened.

ok.

OK.
14 “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”
15 When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. 17 When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child. 18 And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 **But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart. **20 The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.
