​I'm "Blessed and Highly Favoured!" Worry for your counterparts on here though who see "Right as wrong and wrong as right" (Isaiah 5:20)!

But that's what they thought of Jesus so "Who am I?"

You mean even Paul (Newman) got it wrong? "what we have here is a failure to inhabicommunicate!"

actually, it was the warden who said that... it must have been Paul misremembering something that caused him to say it.

This is rich, coming from a false prophetess.
Look up Vicegerent because he has YOU just where he wants you - IGNORANT to the Word of God!

This is false since CS1 is NOT a Roman Catholic.

As for ignorance about the Word of God, I believe you could apply that to yourself. You have been posting error after error after error and claiming that they are "revelations". Christians have to wonder about the source of these revelations.

Little do you know ALL Christian denominations are "shoot offs" from the RCC!

Error to whom? YOU? That's because your "VICEGERENT" has taught YOU LIES and you've NEVER heard TRUTH so of course it's "error" to you!:(

Eph. 4:5...[FONT=&quot] One Lord, one faith, one baptism,...

I understand that getting baptized in water is a way to show obedience. However, I do not believe one has to in order to show obedience. The theif on the cross didn't get baptized:

Luke 23:39-43
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

If you're being crucified, then of course, you probably aren't going to be baptized, but wouldn't you-if you could?

For your perusal,

Hebrews 6:1Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Hebrews 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

To somewhat go off topic here, but when the catholic church does the infant baptism, as I recall being taught that it is to wash away original sin, and I think this is still taught. An infant does not know what is happening so where did this teaching come from? Does anyone here have better knowledge on the matter?

D...,

He does not know that the thief was or was not baptized. The thief could have been baptized, was a back slider and renewed his commitment.

In any event G-d can grant special dispensation as He wishes.

EXACTLY! It's a SPIRITUAL baptism and there's NO "SEEING" as with the thief on the cross yet people believe we have to give a PUBLIC DISPLAY with water!
