    Tertullian didn’t reject infant baptism. He preferred that infants not be baptized due to a belief that eventually turned into outright heresy by the Novations. Its was an issue concerning Hebrews 6:4-6. Once this matter was cleared up by the Church, then infant baptism was no longer an issue.

    Yes, the teaching that baptism is not essential to and not a part of the salvation process is only as old as the 16th century in Christendom. Obscure groups, such as the Cainite Gnostics, mentioned by Tertullian in his treatise, "On Baptism," were the exceptions.

    People make the mistake of thinking that Campbell’s teachings regarding New Testament worship were peculiar to Campbell. The fact is (and there is solid, undeniable evidence) that before Campbell ever came to America, there were Christians in America teaching and observing the same thing. They even called themselves the church of Christ. The evidence is in a book written by a man named Robert Semple called “History of the Rise and Progress of Baptists in Virginia.” The churches of Christ in Virginia and their beliefs were mentioned in the book. The book was written many years before Alexander Campbell ever came to America. There are copies of it still in existence, and it has been reprinted in recent years. It proves that what many call “Campbellism” didn’t start with Campbell at all. Not only that, but Christians believing and practicing what Campbell later taught about salvation and worship also existed throughout the history of Europe, and their existence was documented by the Catholic Church who opposed them and persecuted them heavily. There is a well-researched book called “Traces of the Kingdom” that was written by an English brother named Keith Sisman. It shows the evidence for the church, patterned after the New Testament example of the first century Christians, existing throughout Europe, long before the Protestant reformation. We are not something that evolved out of Campbell’s previous Protestant traditions as your video suggested, but something that preceded it and started on Pentecost when the apostle Peter (inspired by the Spirit of God) preached the first gospel sermon, documented in Acts 2. The church of Christ (being “of Christ” because it abides in the doctrine of Christ - 2 John 9) has existed ever since. It is not a denomination. It precedes even the concept of denominationalism.

      I haven’t met one with that explicit belief. Church of Christ ministers I’ve experienced certainly believe that we must obey what God commands and shouldn’t go beyond what the New Testament doesn’t prescribe, describe, or necessarily infer. Amongst those I know it’s 50/50 on their view of allowing instruments. IMO this is a peripheral, personal, and non salvation issue, but some certainly elevate it to a greater status.

They are not of Christ and do not have God because they “do not abide in the doctrine of Christ” (2 John 9). They have divided themselves from the body of Christ by deciding to adopt the instrument and pursue their own idea of praise to God. In doing so, they have violated 1 Corinthians 1:10. They are not the church that Jesus built. They are an inauthentic replica. True Christians can have no fellowship with them (Ephesians 5:11)

      Aletheia8054 Come on, please be serious. It says to “teach one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.” How do you do that without vocalizing the words? You’ve distorted the sentence structure, too. “Sing” (one command. “AND make melody in your hearts” (another command, linked to the first). It has to do with the song meaning something to you in your heart - the heart being the spiritual instrument. It never mentions God desiring or authorizing a mechanical instrument in Christian worship. Look up the history of the use of mechanical instruments in worship. Note when it started and who started it (hundreds of years after the first century). Note how none of the groups that emerged from the Protestant reformation used instruments in their worship until almost three centuries later (1800’s). Look up what preachers like Wesley and Spurgeon wrote about using instruments in worship. The churches of Christ didn’t invent the concept of not using mechanical instruments in worship. We just held firm to the faith when the denominations started adopting that modern practice. We stayed with the Bible teaching and didn’t “go too far” (2 John 9) when others abandoned the practice that they had previously believed was right. Now you can go on RUclips and see a T.D. Jake’s video where he has a young woman on stage “twerking for Jesus.” That’s what worship eventually devolves into when we abandon the idea of citing scriptural authority. “Whatever you do in word or in deed, do everything in the name [meaning by the authority] of the Lord, Jesus.” (Colossians 3:17).

    "Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, 'If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, "From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water." ' But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified" (John 7:37-39). Baptized in water, Jesus was anointed, receiving the Holy Spirit. Precisely the same pertains to us in baptism (and additionally, the baptismal entrance into the New Covenant brings the cleansing from sins).

    A person must be baptized to be saved, but it has nothing to do with water. The proof is found below. Eating Kosher is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Circumcision of male children is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Trimming your beard according to the Law of Moses is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Water baptisms were a part of the Old Covenant, but they are not required under the New Covenant. The proof is found below. John baptized with water. Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit. Which one is related to salvation, based on Romans 8:9? . Heb. 9:10 (YLT) only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances-till the time of reformation imposed upon them . (Old Covenant ------> New Covenant) . Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, (What is the one baptism of our faith here, based on Eph. 1:12-13, and 1 Cor. 12:13?) . Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, . 1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. . Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. . Act 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. . Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (See Mark 1:8.)

First comes the obedience in water and then comes the Spirit according to Acts 2: 37-38. It was reversed one time in Acts 10 in order to show the Jewish Apostles that Gentiles could now become part of the Church or Called Out. They still had to be baptized in water however according to Acts 10:47 in order to be saved.

    I don't have to delve into what these fellows believed. I need to delve into the scriptures to become informed by God. The function of Baptism was made simple to believe but was continually fleshed out beyond John's (the Baptizer) call to be baptized and Peter's call to be Baptized more specifically in the Name of Jesus Christ. They were both upon repentance for the remission of sins. Mark 1:4 can dispel the notion that the Greek word 'eis' in Acts 2:38 means because of. Furthermore, denying Baptism's role in salvation is not so much a disbelief as it is having fallen prey to a deception. The foundation of Baptism's function is based on what the scriptures say about it. If you base your baptism on something not in scripture then it really isn't obedience and it really isn't a baptism. It MUST be in scripture for it to be a legitimate matter of faith. For instance an outward sign of what has already occurred in the heart. That's not in scripture anywhere. Baptism is an instruction that is to be obeyed motivated by faith. If you are doing it for your outward show you are missing the biblical reason for doing it. Much the same as when Jesus says do your praying in secret and when God hears your prayer in secret he will answer it openly. 1 Peter 3 does not say that baptism represents anything. It says that our baptism saves us much the same as Noah and his family were saved by water. Later passages tell us what Baptism represents like Romans chapter 6. In Romans 6 we see no such relegation of baptism to denominationalism's disfunctional understanding. No Baptism serves as a grave for the man of sin in us that by faith we recon to be dead. We direct this profession toward God... God is the audience. And God seeing us acting in faith by that faith he changes his mind about us and adopts us into his family and grants us the seal of the indwelling spirit. In baptism, it is God who is doing the work. We are making an appeal to him by faith and he is granting that request.

Like, why should anyone care what a Bronze Age text says in the first place? It's just "chasing after wind".

      Yes the infighting over peripherals has been unfortunate. I believe the benefit of caring what a text says is that we can learn from the past. Also, when it comes to being true to the Bible, we need to consider ancient texts. It’s similar to reading articles by James Madison in order to get a better understanding of the US Constitution which is still relevant to us today.

    Hello. Thanks for the teaching. Maybe you can help me with a question I have. I have learned about the fruit of the spirit in galatians and one part of that fruit is Love. So if the fruit is by the spirit it seems that I cannot produce love by myself. But here in john 15 Jesus commands us to love in order to abide in him (john 15:10). So here it says that we have to keep His commandments to abide in Jesus. The confusing part is that it seems contradictory: to produce fruit (loving actions for example) we are commanded to love. I do not understand how he can command us to love if love itself is the fruit.

    9:40 my go to question used to be "I would like to show you how to read the bible for yourself. Because X has this opinion, and y has that opinion. But I want to show you how to look up what God thinks". It was handy for the young men I was talking to. I like the one he said about "Spiritual leader in your home". I think that would touch the interest of the older men i would now talk to

      Good to have a few questions in the back of your pocket that work in your context. Some have found that it may be a teenage daughter, who is the spiritual leader in the home these days, but God can use the open door
