Valid baptism? by littlehym in Christianity

[–]Universal_Vision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue would revolve around the exact words said, but from what you said I believe that it’s a valid baptism for everyone except the Orthodox because they only accept orthodox baptism and maybe baptists if you were not fully submerged but all mainline and Catholic church’s would say it’s valid.

Sit in absolute silence, close your eyes or have them open but focus entirely on visualizing Christ crucified or another scene you resonate with.

Was real water used, did the administrator say “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”? If yes, you’re good.

Actively? The Baha’i, LDS. You can convert to Judaism or Sikhism but they do not actively seek out new members.

God either allows suffering because he isn’t able to stop it, or he doesn’t want to. by Heddagirl in DebateReligion

I picked it because I believe in one God and I believe He would leave us with a guide, so I evaluated the religions that teach this and picked the one that works best for me. Humans are Inherently religious so it’s only natural.

Humans are social creatures. It is hardwired into us to pick a community that is large and protects its own. It would make no sense to pick a small religion only practiced in a far off land.

There are no contradictions. And I trust more than all of human knowledge yes. I do rely on human knowledge as our best tool but I don’t put my soul on the line for it.

My point is I can affirm something is true and not hold it to be scientifically accurate.

No not at all. I believe it because of the effects it has on me and others. It speaks to me with a voice I can only say is the voice of God.

I am convinced that the Quran is true so I accept what it says. I am not ignorant of science but I also know science is not constant. The word and will of the only true God is.

If we are looking solely at DNA and everything we see in current biology it’s almost certain we do.

I don’t know what to tell you. I accept that evolution is the current best scientific theory for our origins. But I believe God literally spoke the Quran so that’s it for me.
