SO below is my reply to hopefully be a help to you:<br />Hello, Jonathan,<br />Thank you for your comments on my posting or article on the "why nots" of attending a movie theater. Feel free to email me anything. Feel free to take the article and print it or improve on it. Change it and edit it or add to it and customize it, make it yours and distribute it as such so that you can be a help to your loved ones and to whomever else you wish to give it to. I primarily read Pastor Kent Brandenburg's blog and get lots of culture and Biblical standard articles over there (http://kentbrandenburg.blogspot.com), and also so much of Pastor Roger Voegtlin's sermons on sermonaudio.com has tons of practical teaching and instructions on culture, movies, tvs, computer, etc. ALSO Missionary David Cloud also has so much that he covers in his wayoflife.org website and sermons on sermonaudio.com.<br /><br />I trust this will be a help to you, and again thanks for commenting and GOD BLESS YOU!<br />Bill Hardeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552819877860565186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14877979.post-48050832571368618112017-04-22T11:38:41.437-04:002017-04-22T11:38:41.437-04:00I love what you had to say about why not go to the...I love what you had to say about why not go to the movies. I need more help about this because I have children and they're saying that it is it like it was when I went there in the 70s. I have preached about not going there because the promiscuity of the place and for years preachers have preached against going , when I was saved in 1980 and went back one more time and I felt so horrible there that I could not wait till the movie was over. I just would like to know how to help my church and my children, most of our People have TVs and some would not dare to go to the movies even though they have a TV. I just need a little help if you would please. My email address is boontrail1983@yahoo.com and my name is Jonathan. I hope that you get this cause I would love to be able to talk to you more about other things .thank you so much in advance for your help and thank you for your ministry and service to the Lord.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163952333731348297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14877979.post-7154922697295717182016-09-28T13:51:25.480-04:002016-09-28T13:51:25.480-04:00Ben, thanks for reading my article.

While it is true that Jesus died for ...Christopher,<br />While it is true that Jesus died for all, it doesn't follow that all will be saved. Only those who trust in Christ alone by faith alone will be saved. Unbelief sends people to hell. It seems to me that your hermeneutic is wrong in dividing up "ages" into three separate categories. Ages is used twice. Jesus referred to our N.T. age till the end of time as the first. The second is the world that is to come (Millenial Kingdom) is that which is still in the future. Even then, unsaved people will be blaspheming the Holy Spirit and consequently they will not want to be saved, and indeed they will not be saved neither. I don't see any Scriptures teaching a third age as you purport. And universalism (all will be saved) is just not true (Phil. 3:18-19 is a good sample text that in our "age" there are those who will end up in Hell bec. of false beliefs and error and ultimately sin).Bill Hardeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552819877860565186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14877979.post-3374545783121529252015-01-15T20:56:04.756-05:002015-01-15T20:56:04.756-05:00“Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man w...“Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. ” (Bible, New Testament, Matthew 12:32)<br /><br /> There was the First Aion Age when Jesus was walking the Earth and arguing with the Pharisees, which corresponds to when Jesus said “This age” (Bible, New Testament, Matthew 12:31-32)<br /> <br /> There was the Second Aion Age when Jesus was dead in the tomb, which corresponds to when Jesus said “the age to come” (Bible, New Testament, Matthew 12:31-32)<br /> <br /> There is a the Third Aion Age when Jesus was resurrected alive again and also is the Age when Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit is forgiven and is also the age that we are in now.

Scripture trumps all. <br /><br />"We take our infants to be baptized because God says to do it." God did not say so anywhere in Scriptures to baptize infants.<br /><br />I am sure we can go around and around on this topic, and not get anywhere, so I say...any further discussion is practically moot.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11879718171217215602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14877979.post-4214108022435123322013-06-12T01:54:27.336-04:002013-06-12T01:54:27.336-04:00Baptists and evangelicals are absolutely correct..... Baptists and evangelicals are absolutely correct...there is no SPECIFIC mention in the New Testament that the Apostles baptized infants. There are references to entire households being converted and baptized, but we orthodox cannot prove, just from Scripture, that these households had infants, and neither can Baptists and evangelicals prove, just from Scripture, that they did not.<br /> <br />One interesting point that Baptists/evangelicals should note is that although there is no specific mention of infant baptism in the Bible...neither is there a prohibition of infant baptism in the Bible. Christians are commanded by Christ to go into all the world and preach the Gospel and to baptize all nations. No age restrictions are mentioned. If Christ had intended his followers to understand that infants could not be baptized in the New Covenant, in a household conversion process as was the practice of the Jews of Christ's day in converting Gentile households to the Covenant of Abraham, it is strange that no mention is made of this prohibition. <br /> <br />So, the only real way to find out if Infant Baptism was practiced by the Apostles is to look at the writings of the early Christians, some of whom were disciples of the Apostles, such as Polycarp, and see what they said on this issue.<br /> <br />And here is a key point: Infant Baptism makes absolutely no sense if you believe that sinners can and must make an informed, mature decision to believe in order to be saved. Infants cannot make informed, mature decisions, so if this is the correct Doctrine of Justification/Salvation, Infant Baptism is clearly false teaching. But the (arminian) Baptist/evangelical Doctrine of Justification/Salvation is unscriptural. Being forced to make a decision to obtain a gift, makes the gift no longer free. This is salvation by works!<br /> <br />Baptism is a command of God. It is not a work of man. God says in plain, simple language, in multiple locations in the Bible, that he saves/forgives sins in Baptism. We orthodox Christians accept God's literal Word. We take our infants to be baptized because God says to do it. Our infants are not saved because we perform the act of bringing them to the baptismal font...they are saved by the power of God's Word pronounced at the time of the Baptism. Christians have believed this for 2,000 years!<br /> <br />There is no evidence that any Christian in the early Church believed that sinners are saved by making a free will decision and then are baptized solely as a public profession of faith. None.<br /><br />Gary<br />Luther, Baptists, and Evangelicals<br />http://www.lutherwasnotbornagain.com/2013/06/the-origen-of-baptistevangelical.html<br />Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02519721717265344702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14877979.post-59685920525514011442013-05-18T18:47:38.900-04:002013-05-18T18:47:38.900-04:00I'm reading your Study Guide for the book of P...I'm reading your Study Guide for the book of Philippians.
