Why I Hate Religion But Jesus Loves Me Anyway

Worldview Everlasting AskdaPastor 2.0 ties up some loose ends on Baptism, the thief on the cross, the eternal LOGOS and the natural inclination of us all to hate God (because we're basically a bunch of big ninny jerks.)

Q: If an unwilling unbeliever is seized and baptized, is he saved?

A: No. There is nothing about the *ritual* that saves.

@jasonahutto Q: If an unwilling unbeliever is seized and baptized, is he still baptized? A: Yes, but he does not receive its benefit because he does not receive this precious gift in faith. Even so, the water and Word were still God's water and Word, however much they were abused by idiot weirdos. Meanwhile, be careful: theology founded on exceptions to the rule is the very essence of liberalism as as stream of thought. I'll stick with Scripture alone.

Pastor Fisk how do I send you emails?

@Cameragirl1399 it's best to submit a question/comment via the website at worldview everlasting . com

I'm going to have search Scripture, Kittel's Theological Dictionary, and other sources re: baptism to understand better the position you're positing here. Would you take a similar view of the Scripture 1 Timothy 2:15 - women "saved" through childbearing? Thanks for considering my question.

[Revfiskj]

@DailyThread2 Great question. Short answer: yes *and* no. Yes: the word still means what it means as used in the sentence. "She will be saved [in the midst of] childbearing" No: "childbearing" is not the subject of the sentence, but the object of a preposition. In the end: woman (generally) is saved (the normal way: "continuing in faith") in the context of her vocation as wife and mother, and not through the abandoning of that role. But the words on the page still mean exactly what they say.

I was talking to a fellow the other day, he refuses to be baptized and yet identifies as Christian. To the thief on the cross argument I told him this:

"You need exactly what that man received, you need to die with Christ. This man actually died with Christ on a cross, receiving then also a resurrection promise for his salvation (which he received by faith), you need what this man received. Baptism is the same thing, salvation delivered to you by God's Word with water rather than nails."

Everybody knows there is only one reason that girl got 400k hits. It was for the froggy kitty.

FINALLY, after learning of your great work from Pam and Charlie, I've gotten to see you at work on-line! Great video! Great theology! God bless you and Meridith, who, as they told me, is involved in your video production. I still have the little frog she gave me years ago, and pray for great success for both of you in your service to our loving Lord. What a blessing you have been to many people, with the promise that thousands more will check out what you have done.

You're figurative when you say atheism isn't in their vocabulary, right?

[DailyThread2]

Thank you for the kitten with frog ears, covering up a view I didn't want to see. I knew what it was from the sidebar distraction every time I'd watch your video. (Yes, I enlarged to full screen each time to avoid that.) But perhaps that distraction from her own message is, in part, why she got 400,000 views.
