I don't feel a whit behind any Christian in this forum, and hope I have reciprocated in that though we disagree on water baptism, not a single one of you is behind me in knowledge and faith.

Ahh brother Tony, I see you are off topic and back in my face again about believer's baptism. Why is that...?

I agree, you do seem to have a problem.
But it doesn't keep me from loving you brother.

It was between you and him. But you did the same thing to me in the water baptism thread and then said not to even address you over there anymore on the topic of the thread.

Well I didn't want to argue with your hyperdispensational nonsense, and I still don't. You were never asked to LEAVE THE THREAD over there, but since only 5 people agreed with you I guess that's why you are here, INJECTING the issue into another thread.

Yes, well crocodiles smile too, perhaps your ugly side is coming out (?) Fact is, Bullingerites, Hyperdispensationalists and other "dry cleaners" have busted up many good Bible churches over the years, and several of us have presented plenty of scripture, but you chose to ignore it and no doubt will continue to do so, like others of your persuasion (in this case all five of you).
Who cares, we're used to it.
Bottom line; you are HUNG UP ON THIS, it's plain to see, as you are now forcing the issue into other threads where it doesn't belong, like a square peg into a round hole.

Well, I call that looking for a fight (baiting) and the comment of a trouble maker, brother. Kind of like your off-the-wall comment here:

Well, by your own admission in that comment above, you do indeed RAIL AGAINST BAPTISTS, and I am still wondering why you have been given a green light for your snide remarks and cheap shots on this forum. Either way, telling Christians that their believer's baptism is UNSCRIPTURAL and part of the mosaic law is STILL wrong. George already said you are wrong. Chette indicated you are wrong. Brandon said you are wrong. Bro. Tim and Fredoheaven also indicated you are in error. Why not take up your contention with THEM?

No I did not. Let's just stop the wagon here and let me ask you; WHERE DID I OBJECT TO THE QUOTING OF SCRIPTURE? Get that church splitting beam out of your eye and read my text carefully brother:
"Matthew, you can post all the verses you want, but we're not going to stop defending the King James Bible."
EXACTLY WHERE do you see me telling anyone to STOP QUOTING SCRIPTURE? Put your glasses on, read it again, son.
While you're doing that, let's face it—I wasn't the only one who questioned Matthew's comments, so while you're at it go ahead and review posts 163 and 164 too.

Sorry, I don't even know what that means.
If we are united, why do I need to "let go?" Is that your idea of UNITY? Here's a suggestion for you brother... stick to the topic, or go start trouble somewhere else. Either way, the Baptists aren't out to get you.
