Baptism is just a sign that we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Baptizing a baby is a waste of time.
Now there is nothing wrong if a parent wants their baby Baptized. But to believe and teach Baptism washes away sin is a MYTH taught by the Catholics.
The Catholics are very heavy into Myths. They rather have their ears tickled wit myths then the Truth from God. This is what all the Catholics are about, following man made Myths instead of the Truth.
2 Timothy 4:1-4
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: [SUP]2 [/SUP]preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. [SUP]3 [/SUP]For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, [SUP]4 [/SUP]and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
We are to reprove, rebuke, exhort what the false Catholics teach. Just because Nikki84 wants to believe Baptism cleanses us of our sin does not prove Baptism cleanses us of our sins.
1 John 1:7
[SUP]7 [/SUP]but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Its the Blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sins. AND the Scriptures says ALL sin. The problem is the Catholics define all as some, only a few. The Catholics redefine words to try to deceive the very Elect of God for their evil purposes.
So why Nikki84 are you teaching Baptism cleanses us of sin? I believe the reason Nikki84 teaches this is because he has never accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
Very few Catholics have ever accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior because its not demanded in the Catholic Church for them to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
