Are Baptists generally anti-infant baptism, or do they just believe it doesn't do anything? Do baptists believe baptism actually doesnt do anything at all and its symbolic? Whats your experience with that?
Mind you I'm using the debate tag, so if you say anything too crazy I will respond lol. If you just tell me the general views of baptists or different types of baptists thats what I'm asking
For those of your born in Baptist environment and household, is there something specific keeping you from exploring other denominations?
And if you converted to a Baptist denomination, why ?
Please note that my question is not simply rhetorical -- it's a serious one.
I'm not here to bash any person or program or anything. I'm only here to ask questions.
There are people like a certain Internet-based psychologist who advocate a certain proprietary marrying finder. The program claims that you can find your true love. The program is available on the Internet and it claims it has helped a lot of Christian couples find each other and get married.
But 2 Peter 1:3-4 says, "God's divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires."
Therefore, isn't the idea of a dating site preposterous, according to 2 Peter 1:3-4?
Also, there are young people who have difficulties with impulse control. Some of them have ADD. Some of them have ADHD. Some of them have Autism. So: What about the idea of them taking prescription drugs to help curb those impulses?
For example, let's say a young Christian student often feels the urge to yell in his school classes. The teacher will be giving a lesson, -- and the young Christian will frequently be compelled to yell out loud and disrupt class.
So, let's say we give our child Ritalin, or other prescription drugs. Maybe he has ADHD. Or maybe he has Autism. So we give him medications.
But 2 Peter 1:3-4 says, "God's divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires."
I apologize if I've been presumptuous. It's a serious question I have regarding Scripture and what is actually Scriptural. Thank you.
