"Nominal" Christians abound in the western nations today. Many of them are called Liberals, which is a completely different religion to Christianity.

When you look at stats and surveys like these then all you need to remember is "Anglicanism" is still refered to as Christian. Or the WCC is considered to be Christian.

So it is no surprise that worldly religions like these are set up by Satan, to confuse and confound the gullible.

Jesus said
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And followed it with....
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

"liberal-leaning"

This is a polite way of saying that they are not Christian. So nobody and their sinful alternate lifestyle is taught the Bible way as God's way.

Obama had to go the politically correct-liberal way because that is precisely where he stands politically and in his religious philosophy.

Thus the Bible and Christian doctrine will not get in the way of his term of office.

BTW Did you know that there is two sermons on SA of Duncan Cambell on the Lewis Revival.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

I haven't read anything quite so ridiculous in ages.

There is a silver lining to ever cloud of recession.

And Britain wants Sharia Law to have legal status over here. Stupid bureaucrats haven't a clue as per usual.
Not to mention the Archbishop of Liberalism Rowan Williams - who wants Sharia to take it's place with western law and Christian law presumably.

I pray the Lord shall help this woman Martha Samuel and her family, may escape this evil satanic persecution, and find a safer place to live.
In Christ.

I AM NOT AN "EVANGELICAL", I AM A BIBLE BELIEVER,

Like the term "Christian" - man in his usual perverse way, has highjacked the term evangel to mean something which can be unBiblical.
Confusion is obviously method which Satan will and does apply, when he is blinding both the church goers and the unbelievers.
To derogate the terms "Christian" and "Evangel" is an attack upon Christ and just one of Satan's weapons in the persecution of the True Disciple.

It may be a harsh thing for some to hear at any time, but I do think it takes more courage to live, than to die in this way.

However knowing the bunch of reprobates we have in Edinburgh as MP's, I wouldn't be surprised to see this woman bring in legal murder upon those who suffer.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Eccl 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

1John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Does anyone know of an online Bible with cross references to similar verses. Just like we have in a Bible (hard copy) where the verse cross refs are listed down through the center of the page.

SA takes care of exact same word search! - But what I'm looking for is a resource online which provides verses referring to similar themes and concepts.

This fairy story is of course predicted.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto FABLES. 2Tim 4.

ONLY by Faith - the gift of GOD - can any mortal discern the Truth of Scripture.

I see the battle is in full swing.

What would be the point of infant baptism? Is salvation by works? Truly, the only baptism that makes a difference is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I appreciate your comments, but I wholeheartedly disagree. God bless

"Salvation by works"??? What the babies works???

DJC49 points out that infant baptism doesn't save. The grounds for baptism are found in Acts 2:41, "So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls."
The preaching of the Gospel preceded the act of baptism, as the Holy Spirit convicts lost souls upon hearing the word of God, hearts are changed by the power of His word. Those who received {to accept what is offered} the Gospel underwent a baptism, but NOT until they had heard the Gospel message. It would be hard for an infant to hear and comprehend such a message.

First you have excluded God from the baptism. Does He require proof by human confession to know who are His flock?

Second the verse to which you refer is at "mission," ie the first time the adults heard the Gospel. So yes they will require baptism at the age they hear. Presbyterians baptise adults on mission too.

Third *COVENANT* - The promise is to you and your children. Acts 2:39.

Fourth Nowhere in the Bible is discrimmination by age, taught or practised.

Fifth If God can accept the circumcision at 8 days old, then HE can equally receive and enable baptism at the baby stage.

BTW, why does imported English cheese cost over twice as much (~ $10/lb) as domestic? Does Britain keep the cheaper stuff for domestic consumption, or is it simply limited volume? I have trouble believing the English varieties are as costly to make (inefficient?) as the French.

No one and I mean no one can know

He appears to suggest this as a future event. I would say that it is already a feature of modern church and society. Doctrine should never be a reaction to any possible future event.

But "worldliness" has always been the enemy of Christianity.

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
