4 - Baptism is discontinuous from Circumcision. Disciples aren't children (in Gene's mind) thus we don't baptize them. I'd love to ask Gene why Christ had unrenerate men and women baptized.

I'm sorry I can't listen to this. My little computer with dial-up just isn't capable.

So tell me, should I find a Presbyterian church to attend? Or maybe I'll move to England and become Anglican. Or perhaps with my surname I could pull off Dutch Reformed.

What to do, what to do.....

Gene just admitted that he doesn't know anybody is saved except himself but yet, argued earlier, that baptism is for the regenerate.

Just ask any paedo!

I suppose Baptist know they lose all of them then, or should I ask a Baptist?


Hmmm...it seems the Presbyterians already know they won so I wouldn't bother asking.

I noticed that too. Seems odd for a baptist to admit such a thing as it would be pretty destructive to their theology.

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon

I'm neither listening nor a big baptism debater, but how is asserting "baptism is for the regenerate" a problem by admitting that I don't know for sure that everyone baptized is regenerate?

If baptism is for the regenerate only, and you don't know who the regenerate are, how are you to know who to baptize?

Paul is controlling Gene's cross.

Hebrews is not addressed to the Covenant Community? There is "2 covenant communities" for 40 years?

He's actually getting Gene to waste time to re-state his position and Paul isn't being forced to defend. Gene is actually on the defensive. Remarkable.

I've noticed in Gene's previous debates he doesn't mind turning his crosses into back-and-forths.

Gene just allowed Paul to cross him at the very end.
