Scriptures say that society is gradually getting worse (2 Timothy 3:1-13 - "
perilous times shall come" and "evil men and seducers shall was worse and wo

The most significant controversy to centre upon the sacrament of baptism has
arguably been the debate over whether it is legitimate to baptize infants o

eligion, John Calvin takes up this issue endeavouring to prove that infant b
aptism is a divine institution(Wendel 324). Calvin declares that "infants ca

发帖数: 9485 | 3 one thing I really appreciated is in Book of Mormon, the ancient prophet of
God wrote about the topic of infant baptism, in old time people already have
same debate about this topic, even among the decedents of Joseph tribes.
here is part of the scriptures about infant baptism. for some reason, Bible
didn't make very clear texts.this is a letter from prophet Mormon to his son
Moroni , style same as aposol Paul's letter to different congregations.

一、前言
《再思保罗神学争议》（What Saint Paul Really Said）一书中，赖特博士（Dr. Wri

，认为保罗所传讲的福音的观念由犹太历史的传统而来，主要在说明耶稣基督从死里复
活，得胜罪恶死亡，并要作世界的王。然而，由福音派立场观之，《再思保罗神学争议

Yes, man is totally unable to contribute one iota to his salvation. It does
not then follow, however, that he therefore cannot receive the salvation fre
