Great video again, Alan. And I'm looking forward to your videos on dispensationalism and convenant theology, I've been curious about them and I know you can deliver the goods. God bless you brother
Thank you Alan for addressing our questions. I’m looking forward to you answering some of them in more detail. If you ever find yourself wandering about the Great Lakes, I’m sure I would enjoy the fellowship and discussing some of these topics with you.
6:08 that is what I’ve been trying to say. People often confuse the two. The organization that goes by the name “Black lives matter” has openly said that they are Marxist and that is something I absolutely cannot agree with.
Marxism is the removal of freedoms like private property, gun rights, and religious rights support a foced community of workers and mangers who give hand outs to everyone of the products but no one claims ownership on the products including homes and food. It's why there's so many types of people who rule differently under ideology for example like Hitler's rule vs. Linnen and Trotsky's rule of The USSR. Our government has adopted some marxist laws and have been seemingly progressing towards full on Communism. ✌💗
Thank you Allan for answering my question on Stephen Wellum and progressive covenantalism. Looking forward to your video on this. May God continually use you and your channel in sharing the biblical gospel of Christ to those whom God would lead here. May God bless you!
This Q&A helps me a lot. Some of which mentioned here were my questions too. I'm a Christian vlogger too and I share Gospel songs and talks through my channel. I am encouraged seeing there are lots of Christians like you who uses this platform to share Biblical truths as well. God bless you more! :)
Another amazing video! Thanks so much for what your doing. It’s helping me and so many others. I always learn something new from your videos! God Bless you 😊

Hey Alan, love your content, thankful to God I discovered your channel I remember seeing your video on Jefferson Bethke’s Why I Hate Religion video a while ago, but I’m curious if you’ll ever retouch on his ministry now? For context, as someone who’s observed his work for years his book that was inspired by his video changed my life as a Christian, and I’ve always been interested ever since. However, as of 2018 I stopped following his work because he almost never mentioned Jesus in any of his work or media, and would love to hear your opinion on this God willing you have the time & purpose to address it. - Ryder
Please do make videos on the 4 covenant theology positions Also, do you consider the issue of head coverings to be a primary, secondary, or tertiary issue? Btw loving the content
Blessed by this QnA Polite Leader! I really wanted to ask you a question regarding the scripture in Hebrews 10:25! It’s also I guess, I’m indirectly referencing to regarding a personal experience I’m going through right now and has been troubling me a lot. Does it really mean that neglecting the gathering of the church is a sin, even if those who are going through personal life tragedies and such cannot serve or be able to join in the time being? I just find that a burden to believe that not being able to serve in a church constantly and not being with your church community is seen as shameful, as I’m either leaving all together or moving to another church soon but need some alone time with Jesus and focusing on my family’s needs right now. I still have close Christian friends with me as well as my family so I haven’t abandoned any of those strong Christian rooted relationships. My current/going to be prior church was so fixated on community that whenever I couldn’t make it I felt I was shamed on whenever I had to take a break on serving on the music team or when I miss a weekend due to other life duties I had in the way ongoing. Isn’t loneliness with God just as acceptable as growing with others in the faith? I’d love to see your say because honestly it does feel that people have misinterpreted this scripture greatly and instead focuses on a bigger picture on the arrival of Christ. By the way, call me Liam haha!
HP,...The church was to be a place where the believers were to come together to fellowship with fellow believers. In our day, the church does not have believers in it. It is a country club for unbelievers. Churches are nothing but government owned indoctrination centers. It is not a gathering of believers. So no, you do not need to be troubled by not being there and in fact, you should never go there. You are under no obligation to ever go to church, even if it was filled with believers which of course it is not. When there was believers there when it was first getting started, sure, it was where we would try to be if possible, but in our day, it is an entirely different situation. If I were you, I would never go into a church building. The church is where two or more BELIEVERS are gathered.
The context of Hebrews 10:25 is one of fear of persecution by unbelieving Jews toward Jews who had made some profession of faith in Yeshua Messiah. These professing believers were leaving the assembling of the saints due to fear of the repercussions from unbelieving Jews, to the point of returning to Temple worship, which by necessity included the sacrifices. In essence, by returning to Temple worship, the professing believers would be denying the efficacy of Yeshua Messiah's work on the cross. If you cannot meet for fellowship, it doesn't mean you are now reverting (or converting) to Judaism or some pagan religion in a tacit rejection of the sacrifice of Christ. Having said that, fellowship is not just on Sunday mornings in a building. Fellowship is anytime, anywhere you meet with Christians for Bible study and prayer and edification. If you are neglecting ALL fellowship, then, yes, that is sinful, not because of Hebrews 10:25 but because you aren't using the gifts of the Spirit for the edification of the Body.
Great video brother Allan. I wish I had the knowledge you have on scripture. My mother is a devoted Jehovahs witness. Any advice on how to reach her? Since they are very very firm on their beliefs. Thank you and God bless you!
@Elias Zuniga I greatly appreciate the kind words, Elias. I believe James White and Jeff Durbin have good apologetical material that could help you try and understand JW theology better. You should check them out.
What are your thoughts on Chris Date and rethinking hell? Also will you do a video on lordship salvationism vs free grace? (there's no way you can talk about that stuff in 4 sentences in your next qna)

@traffictragedy03 ,...You only need to read the Bible. By turning to anything else, you are saying to God, that he did not explain it right, you have to turn to a man for the explanation. Any other book other than the Bible will only take you away from the truth of the Bible. Never ever look to anything else. Also, it should be noted, that you cannot do anything about you being lukewarm. God is in control, not you. He will finish the work he started.

So I’ve grown up in a Church of Christ denomination, which holds to baptismal regeneration, and as I’ve gotten older I am beginning to doubt this view. But when I read the New Testament (and I could be wrong), the text seems to suggest that forgiveness happens at baptism. Could you possibly address this issue, and maybe cover when regeneration happens as well. Thanks
You're referring to texts like Acts 2, right? Just remember who Peter was talking to and what the context was. Then compare that to Acts 16 and all of Paul's epistles where water baptism is not mentioned as requisite to salvation. So, something is happening in Acts 2 that is unique. We have an abundance of Scripture that proclaims salvation by faith plus nothing, so in light of that, we interpret Acts 2.
Hello brother, I wanted to ask if you could explain further the belief that you mentioned toward the end about the 7 Year Tribulation taking place in the first century? Thank you and God bless you always!
CMJ,....The tribulation started in the time of Jesus and the apostles and will continue till the last day, judgement day. There is no 7 year tribulation nor a 1000 year rein. Those ideas are nothing but perversions of scripture. The church does not understand the Bible.
Thank you for this amazing Q&A video again. I do have a question, do you believe pastors have to be married? I know a single male pastor but I know pastors should be men, and I’m convinced pastors should be married. Thank you, God bless!
Good day, Mr. Allan! I thoroughly enjoy your videos but I do have one question in regards to divorce/remarriage- in the Gospel of Mark 10:1-12, Jesus talks about divorce and remarriage. He points out that the offending party, should they get remarried, commits adultery. My question is if the non-offending party signs the document for divorce, even if they are not guilty of any unfaithfulness, and seeks to get married, would they not also be designated as divorced and to get remarried would mean that they are committing adultery as well? I'd love to hear your response and I have a deep respect for you. Blessings, brother, and have a very good day
Hi Chris! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos. In Matt 19:9, Jesus indicates that the non-offending party may file for divorce and re-marry if adultery has been committed against him.

I took a New Testament class recently where we talked about women's head-coverings. Every woman in the class got so defensive. I hold to the conviction that women should cover their heads during prayer, although I love wearing fedoras, I will take it off to pray according to the Scripture.
Let me take this opportunity to ask this, what does the Bible says about tithing? Does it also apply to todays Christianity? Thank you for your time and God bless you for your work.
The NT does not contain a hard and fast rule on tithing besides the fact that true believers should tithe. Our ministers labor for us and "the laborer is worthy of his wages". My own personal counsel to believers on tithing is that Christians should make as much money as they can, save as much money as they can and tithe as much as they can. You are welcome and God bless as well.
Love your videos, but I have a question. How do you harmonize Paul’s statement that, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord,” and the reality that Christ is at the right hand of the Father, with our still being in Hades’ place of comfort after death? I’ve always understood that Christ led out the OT saints into Heaven after atonement was made for sin, but that unbelievers still go to Hades’ place of torment. Would love your thoughts. Grace and Peace to you, my brother.
@Anthony Dorado Hi Tony. I'm so glad you like my videos. Paul's statement of "being with the Lord" and Jesus statement to the thief about "being in Paradise" are synonymous. Hades has two areas - Paradise and Prison. Departed saints go to Paradise. I disagree with the interpretation of Jesus leading a host of captives that developed in church history as meaning Jesus led the OT saints out of hell. I don't think that is the correct exegesis of Eph 4. Grace and peace to you as well, brother!
AD,.....Pl is confused here. The Bible clearly tells us that when anyone dies, a believer, or an unbeliever we go to sleep and await Judgement day. On judgement day all those that have died will be awoken from their sleep. Some will go to eternal life with God, and others will go to eternal punishment away from the presence of God. But, as for now, all that have died are sleeping. The next thing they will be aware of will be judgement day.
Polite Leader Appreciate your reply, brother! Looking forward to more of these videos and more videos of a theological nature in the future! God has blessed me greatly through your ministry.

Hi Alan, So I’m a young believer and currently bordering back and fourth on whether I believe in reformed theology. Currently, the main issue holding me back from fully embracing reformed theology is the doctrine that regeneration proceeds faith. I don’t seem to find this in scripture, but I’m open to learning (considering my ignorance). Could you possibly explain this one day. Thanks
Hi there, "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him." 1 John 5:1 This website is very helpful for understanding reformed theology.. www.monergism.com/topics/regeneration Hope this helps!
It can’t possibly be that you were regenerated before faith in Christ. The Bible is clear we are not saved outside of Christ. If someone claims they were regenerated (saved) before faith in Christ, then they are claiming they were saved without Christ.
@@Chris-here I think you might be confused as to what regeneration is.. Regeneration is a sovereign work of God (Jn. 1:12-13; 3:3-8; Jas. 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:3) a radical work or total transformation (Ezek. 36:26-27; 1 Jn. 3:9) not just an addition...The SOURCE of regeneration is Christ (1 Pet 1:3; Eph 1:3, 2:4, 4:24; 2 Cor 5:17) The AGENT of regeneration is the Holy Spirit (Jn. 3:3-8; Titus 3:5) The INSTRUMENT of regeneration is the Word of God (Jas. 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:23, 25) which precedes and causes faith (Jn 6:63-65, 1 jn 5:1, Eph. 2:5; Col. 2:13)..
Peter Neptune “He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit”- Titus 3:5 If you think you were saved through regeneration as Titus 3:5 reads, you would be correct. However, if Calvinist theology claims regeneration precedes faith, then naturally it is claiming you were saved before faith in Christ. And if you are claiming you were saved before Christ, then you are also claiming you were saved apart from Christ. The Bible states clearly no one is saved apart from Christ.
@@Chris-here Um.. I don't know of any Calvinists who would teach that you can be saved apart from Christ.. regeneration is the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit to bring us to Christ so that we believe in Him.. ua-cam.com/video/L_23bkI2MFs/v-deo.html
What are your thoughts on the parable of the fig tree in reference to the time Jesus coming back? Some UA-camrs use that passage and the passage about a generation being 70-80 years to say that Jesus might come back in 2028 (80 years from the birth of Israel). They aren’t all necessarily setting dates, but some are saying that 2021 makes seance to them for being a good year for the return.
@robert Butcher Hi Robert. I believe the fig tree represents 1st century apostate Israel and that passage was fulfilled in AD 70 which was within that one generation that you mentioned.
Please don't follow others who claim they know when the second coming is to be. Such speculation only leads to disappointments. The Scripture is very clear; we are not to know when it will be but we must be prepared and watch. The main points of the parable of the ten virgins are that true believers must be prepared and must keep their focus on Jesus at all times while we eagerly await His return. God Bless.
Another thing to watch for is that KJV-onlyism has a weird connection to hypergrace. I’m not sure why there is this connection but I’ve ran into a dozen or so people that believe both. God Bless
Imagine my surprise when you mentioned your position on head covering. Because last evening I listened to R C Sproul’s explanation on his series “The Hard Sayings of the Apostles”. Well, that’s me told 😄. Keep up the very good work.
Tony, since I don’t want to inaccurately convey Dr.Sproul’s message, here is the link. www.ligonier.org/learn/series/hard_sayings_of_the_apostles/to-cover-or-not-to-cover/
@@scripturesays6209 ,...Thanks for sharing that link. Sadly, RCS is a false teacher, and I wanted to hear his opinion on this. His is again wrong as he always is. He does not understand the Bible. But he does understand how to trick people into thinking he is a man of God, he is not. Do not listen to anything this man teaches.
I found a couple of areas i disagree with you on but will still listen 1. Infant baptism 2. Post millennium These aren't areas in which I would have to move on.
Hey Allan. Can you check out Spencer Smith UA-cam channel. I really love his channel though but in some of his videos it's like he's against Protestants, Reformation.
@@dman7668 Wow, thanks you for telling me that. I mean I didn't know any of that. I just know that Baptist is not Reformation right. But they still preach biblical doctrine like our Protestant/Reformation churches. But I just don't get it why he's dislikes us Protestant.
Hey Allen, when someone is saved, do we instantly feel motivated to do the will of God and if not are we saved? Do we have to keep reading and meditating in the Gospel to get convicted?
@NicoCoco ,....So, you are saying we are saved if we have truly repented? So it is up to us, and what we truly do or not? This of course is not at all what the Bible teaches, it is however what the 100% apostate church teaches. That is a false gospel of works, based on what we do, not what God/Jesus has already done.
I have a question sir. Can you point me to a UA-cam channel or maybe some reading material about the gospel for my children to help them understand? My daughter is 12 and my son is 10.
Where did R.C. Sproul say those things about head covering? I know about his stand on the topic but I have not heard to things he said about the early church. I would love to see that though
Howdy, Alan :) I am a new listener on your channel, and something you said in this video was a little confusing to me. You answered a question about where we go when we die by saying you believe that we go to Paradise, or Sheol/Hades. Please explain how Sheol and/or Hades can possibly be referred to as Paradise when the uses of either in Scripture reference "going down" and describe them as being unhappy, terrible places. It sort of sounds like you are speaking of 'Purgatory'? Psalm 6:5 "For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise?" Num 16:30 "But if the Lord creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised the Lord.” Did I misunderstand your response? Thanks! Hope you're having a good week!😊
Howdy there, Kat! A belated welcome to you! Sheol-Hades has two components - Paradise and a prison (it's not a biblical term, but meaningful nonetheless). In the OT, the ancient Jews were not provided with the full revelation about the two-fold nature of this intermediary place. It is a Messianic revelation. You are welcome and have a good week as well!
@@PoliteLeader Hmmm. Is this a Calvinistic (I'm not a Calvinist) or denomination-specific meaning/belief? I've been a Christian since 1999 and do not recall ever hearing Sheol-Hades referred to in a positive manner. Can you please direct me to (Biblical) explantations of this? Thank you for your very quick and kind response!
@@momoffive7356 Hi Kat. No this position is not specific to Calvinism or a specific denomination. The Rev Dave Pawson was not a Calvinist and he held to something very similar. Some Christians make the distinction Sheol-Abraham's bosom, Hades-Abraham's bosom, Hades-Paradise. In that case, Hades and Sheol would be bad places and Abraham's bosom and Paradise the good destinations.That may be the position you hold to. I'm not sure. My point was that the OT saints were not in a bad place prior to Jesus' resurrection.

@@PoliteLeader Well, I'm not so sure which position I hold to now either! 😀 As I was thinking about this, it occurred to me that while on the cross, Jesus told one of the criminals that "today you will be with me in paradise." I was taught that meant heaven. BUT...Jesus did not go to heaven for those two days he was dead, did he? 🤔 Oh boy. You've given me some things to ponder! I will look into the resources you provided. Thanks so much, Alan, for your responses! Have a lovely weekend.
Polite Leader, as always I really admire and enjoy your videos. I do have to make one point here concerning the "parable" of the rich man and Lazarus. This passage is often mistaken as a parable when in fact it's a real story. How do I know this? Simple. When Christ spoke in parables, he didn't use real names or persons (aka, Jesus spoke of a king, a man, a sower, a ruler, etc). Also, what is a parable? It's an earthy story that has a Heavenly meaning and Jesus spoke in parables so that the people wouldn't understand the meaning. However, here in Luke 16, Jesus is not disguising words or using hidden meanings; he's using straight forward and very descriptive language about Paradise and Hell. Using real places and real names (Lazarus, Abraham, Hell, etc.) to show that this is not a parable but it's Jesus pulling back the curtain a bit and giving us a glimpse into both realms. Another interesting point: Jesus didn't call the rich man by name as he did Lazarus and Abraham. Why? Jesus calls his own by name and the rest are not recognized by their names as they have no part of Christ. This is shown over and over in scripture when it comes to the 'wicked' or 'lost' and so forth. Thanks again for the Q & A. I do enjoy that as well!
Thank you for your teachings on you tube, I learned a lot from you. Speaking of the kjv onlyism, it's the manuscripts that causes the problems. Modern translations use a manuscript called the critical text put together by unbelieving scholars wescort and hort based on two questionable manuscripts the siniacus and vaticanius. These are the two manuscripts used and they disagree with each other thousands of times. Both show countless corrections and write overs with lots of books and chapters left out. These two are highly questionable yet form the basis for new translations. The kjv based on the textstus resceptus agreed ninety eight percent. Please do some research on this and I think you might be surprised. Forgive my spelling. Thank you again for your teaching. Yours in Christ. Bennie.
Great video- love the in-depth answers! As a Christian female, I’ve come far enough in my journey as a Christian to encounter a very controversial topic: Are pants men’s clothes? As well as: Are pants not modest enough? What is your take on this?
@@gem6105 ,......Here is my take on this. I think there are certain types of pants that a woman can wear, but they would be ones that differ from the type men wear. Such as very loose fitting pants like the older women will wear around the house. Certainly not tight fitting jeans or anything that fits tightly. Definitely no yoga pants. I think a good rule is, a women can never go wrong with a long dress. I think a big part of this is that what Christian a woman wears sets her apart from the ungodly women of the world. Just don't look like them. They are supposed to be setting an example of how to dress, not to go along with what the Godless women wear or do.
@@dman7668 ,....You are partially correct. We do not know for sure, otherwise no faith would be required, this is true. However salvation is not a process, absolutely not. Those that are saved, were SAVED from before the foundation of the earth. Nothing they do or do not do has anything to do with it. Now on the other hand, God does draw us ( his lost sheep) to himself little by little. But we are 100% saved the entire time.
Correction about Luke 16 (poor Lazarus and rich guy, Abrahmas bosom): It is NOT a parable. Our Lord Jesus tells it as an actual event. In parables Jesus says: „the kingdom of heaven is to be compared to...“ Here not. And in no parable Jesus mentions a name (like here: Lazarus). As also theologian Dr Fruchtenbaum points out. - kind greetings and blessings.
Greetings PL. Although I pretty much disagree with most of your answers you gave here, I still like you. There is just too much for me to correct. What I find so interesting is the fact that what you get right you get totally right. But then the very next question, you will get totally wrong. One minute you are on the rails, the next minute you are off the rails, and back and forth you go. I really think the problem comes from the fact that you yourself know what is right but because you are part of the church you have to go off the rails to hold to these wrong doctrines you have to hold to in order to be a part of the church. You try to be respectful to these apostate church leaders, and I understand and admire that. But ultimately, they are holding you back. You do not need any of the teachings of the church. God has clearly given you a great brain, you just need to be able to use it freely without being hindered by the apostate churches leaders teachings. I can see a new denomination about to blossom called alanism. Ok, well, maybe not, but it does have a nice ring to it. Anyway, nice job, as always. Just need some adjustments to your theology. I guess I can say, you are about as right as you are wrong. Thanks PL for taking the time to do all this. I for one always appreciate it.
@@dman7668 ,....True, but then we have the cult of Catholicism teaching everything the opposite of Gods word, and taking all those snared into it straight into the pit. The time of the end is a terrible thing, deception everywhere.
I just want to hear from your perspective why certain verses of the bible are omitted like the niv and so on. The sixteen omitted verses (1) Matthew 17:21. KJV: Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. ...(2) Matthew 18:11. KJV: For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. ...(3) Matthew 23:14. ...(4) Mark 7:16. ...(5 & 6) Mark 9:44 & 9:46. ...(7) Mark 11:26. ...(8) Mark 15:28. ...(9) Luke 17:36. So you agree that it had people like origen who tried to change what the bible said.
@@dman7668 ,....Sorry dman, but the catholic church and all its 100% ungodly traditions are opposed to everything the Bible teaches. The catholic church is a 100% ungodly cult. Those snared into it are completely outside of the kingdom of God and have the lake of fire awaiting them. Run as fast as you can away from it.
Sorry if my comment Was misleading. I just disagree on the psalms only worship teaching. I think we should consider all scripture. And the New Testament Has a lot of scripture that lead us to praise the Lord i think.
Hey bro I believe the beggar Lazarus and rich man was a real live incident, not a parable. Just my thought🙏. . Another thing is Bible never supports "infant baptism". Water baptism is sign and declaration of pure conscience according to I Peter 3 : 21. Unless a person is born-again how can anyone declare a good conscience to God. And so infant baptism is wrong and nothing to do with covenant. It's a matter of personal conviction nothing to do with family covenant. ✌✌
Thank you Dman for your reply. The book of Acts clearly shows that during the first century, the saints believed and were baptized. No incident of infant baptism is mentioned nor was it practised. I do believe that the Apostles would never baptize an infant knowing that baptism requires a person to be born-again and repent from sins. No wonder John the Baptist rebuked the pharisees for coming to be baptized in an unrepentant heart. . "The bible doesn't forbid anywhere the baptism of infants". Are you serious man. Neither does the bible support infant baptism. . *[[Gen **17:12**-13/KJV]]* 12.And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. 13.He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. . *[[Lev 12:3]] KJV* And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. . In Genesis 17:13 and Leviticus 12:3 both the places the circumcision is talking place in the flesh. That is the covenant given to Abraham. . *[[Col **2:11**-12/KJV]]* 11.In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. In Colossians 2:11, 12 the scripture mentions of circumcision not made by hands. It has nothing to do with the circumcision which God told to do to Abraham, rather it is the circumcision of Christ, which is through the faith of the operation of God. Colossians 2:12 clearly mentions of baptism through the experience of faith, nothing to do with infant baptism. . Baptism is for Jews and Gentiles who have the capability to experience their faith, which infants can't do. So again it is out of the question to baptize an infant. . *[[Mat **19:14**]] KJV* But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. . *[[Mat 18:2-5/KJV]]* 2. And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3.And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. . In Matthew 18:2-5 Jesus is telling the adults to become like a child. Humble like a child. That verse is talking about child like nature not literally becoming a child.The same child like nature is mentioned in Matthew 19 : 14. Both the verses in Matthew has nothing to do with infant baptism, rather it is telling the adults (believers) to be child like attitude. Simple minded. We can also see that in *[[1Pe 2:1-2/KJV]]* 1.Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: When we lay aside malice, guile, hypocrisy, envies and evil speaking, we become like new born babies. That has nothing to do with literal babies. Its a figure of speech. . Finally *[[Mar **16:14**-16/KJV]]* 14. Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15.And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. If you read from Mark 16: 14 & 15, it says that Jesus spoke to His disciples and not to the crowd. Mark 16 : 16 says believe and baptize. Again believe and baptize. All those who believe must be baptized. Baptism has nothing to do with escaping from hell. Only believers who are born-again are baptized. I know there are lot of fake so called believers who say we are baptized but are not born-again. Let the Lord God Almighty deal with them. . So coming back to the topic, believe and baptize in Mark 16:16. Jesus is clearly stating to His disciples that you baptize only those people who believe. It is very clear and evident. Infants cannot believe, so no infant baptism. . Thank you
Grace and peace from México, all the glory to the most high, Elohim.

6:08 that is what I’ve been trying to say. People often confuse the two. The organization that goes by the name “Black lives matter” has openly said that they are Marxist and that is something I absolutely cannot agree with.
@Myrm Ants marxism is the teachings of Karl Marx. I used to be close to marxist.
Marxism is the removal of freedoms like private property, gun rights, and religious rights support a foced community of workers and mangers who give hand outs to everyone of the products but no one claims ownership on the products including homes and food. It's why there's so many types of people who rule differently under ideology for example like Hitler's rule vs. Linnen and Trotsky's rule of The USSR. Our government has adopted some marxist laws and have been seemingly progressing towards full on Communism. ✌💗

Hey Alan, love your content, thankful to God I discovered your channel
I remember seeing your video on Jefferson Bethke’s Why I Hate Religion video a while ago, but I’m curious if you’ll ever retouch on his ministry now? For context, as someone who’s observed his work for years his book that was inspired by his video changed my life as a Christian, and I’ve always been interested ever since. However, as of 2018 I stopped following his work because he almost never mentioned Jesus in any of his work or media, and would love to hear your opinion on this God willing you have the time & purpose to address it.

Hi Gantris. I will try to do an updated video on Jeff either in 2020 or 2021 if the Lord wills.

Thank you so much, Jim! You are too kind.
Blessed by this QnA Polite Leader!
I really wanted to ask you a question regarding the scripture in Hebrews 10:25!
It’s also I guess, I’m indirectly referencing to regarding a personal experience I’m going through right now and has been troubling me a lot. Does it really mean that neglecting the gathering of the church is a sin, even if those who are going through personal life tragedies and such cannot serve or be able to join in the time being? I just find that a burden to believe that not being able to serve in a church constantly and not being with your church community is seen as shameful, as I’m either leaving all together or moving to another church soon but need some alone time with Jesus and focusing on my family’s needs right now. I still have close Christian friends with me as well as my family so I haven’t abandoned any of those strong Christian rooted relationships.
My current/going to be prior church was so fixated on community that whenever I couldn’t make it I felt I was shamed on whenever I had to take a break on serving on the music team or when I miss a weekend due to other life duties I had in the way ongoing.
Isn’t loneliness with God just as acceptable as growing with others in the faith? I’d love to see your say because honestly it does feel that people have misinterpreted this scripture greatly and instead focuses on a bigger picture on the arrival of Christ.
By the way, call me Liam haha!
HP,...The church was to be a place where the believers were to come together to fellowship with fellow believers. In our day, the church does not have believers in it. It is a country club for unbelievers. Churches are nothing but government owned indoctrination centers. It is not a gathering of believers. So no, you do not need to be troubled by not being there and in fact, you should never go there.
You are under no obligation to ever go to church, even if it was filled with believers which of course it is not. When there was believers there when it was first getting started, sure, it was where we would try to be if possible, but in our day, it is an entirely different situation. If I were you, I would never go into a church building. The church is where two or more BELIEVERS are gathered.
The context of Hebrews 10:25 is one of fear of persecution by unbelieving Jews toward Jews who had made some profession of faith in Yeshua Messiah. These professing believers were leaving the assembling of the saints due to fear of the repercussions from unbelieving Jews, to the point of returning to Temple worship, which by necessity included the sacrifices. In essence, by returning to Temple worship, the professing believers would be denying the efficacy of Yeshua Messiah's work on the cross.
If you cannot meet for fellowship, it doesn't mean you are now reverting (or converting) to Judaism or some pagan religion in a tacit rejection of the sacrifice of Christ. Having said that, fellowship is not just on Sunday mornings in a building. Fellowship is anytime, anywhere you meet with Christians for Bible study and prayer and edification. If you are neglecting ALL fellowship, then, yes, that is sinful, not because of Hebrews 10:25 but because you aren't using the gifts of the Spirit for the edification of the Body.

First of all, the Lord has used your videos in tremendous ways especially in my own life! Would you be able to do a video on Transformation Church and the pastor, Mike Todd? I have a feeling they have more prosperity/word of faith teachings but I was just curious as to your thoughts.
Also, I'm trying to get serious about being a true Christian and stop being luke warm. Can you recommend some books (other than the bible) for me to read?
Try "Chosen By God" by R.C. Sproul.
Eddie Forehand hii Eddie some books that help me a lot in mi walk with Jesus are John Owen of the mortification of sin in believers and Donald S whitney Spiritual Diciplines for the Cristhian life
I hope that this may help you
@traffictragedy03 ,...You only need to read the Bible. By turning to anything else, you are saying to God, that he did not explain it right, you have to turn to a man for the explanation. Any other book other than the Bible will only take you away from the truth of the Bible. Never ever look to anything else.
Also, it should be noted, that you cannot do anything about you being lukewarm. God is in control, not you. He will finish the work he started.
The two things that helped and still helps me to be a hot Christian is the fear and love of God
@@dman7668 ,....Bringing questions to fellow believers is fine and how we should go about it. We do not turn to other books outside of Gods word. God gives all his chosen ones the Holy Ssufficient

@Blue Torpedo Thank you so much for the kind words.
Thank you for the video. I learned new things. What do you think of Dallas Theological Seminary? I am taking online free classes through them. Good video. Grace and peace to you. God Bless You.
So I’ve grown up in a Church of Christ denomination, which holds to baptismal regeneration, and as I’ve gotten older I am beginning to doubt this view. But when I read the New Testament (and I could be wrong), the text seems to suggest that forgiveness happens at baptism. Could you possibly address this issue, and maybe cover when regeneration happens as well. Thanks
You're referring to texts like Acts 2, right? Just remember who Peter was talking to and what the context was. Then compare that to Acts 16 and all of Paul's epistles where water baptism is not mentioned as requisite to salvation. So, something is happening in Acts 2 that is unique. We have an abundance of Scripture that proclaims salvation by faith plus nothing, so in light of that, we interpret Acts 2.
Hello brother, I wanted to ask if you could explain further the belief that you mentioned toward the end about the 7 Year Tribulation taking place in the first century? Thank you and God bless you always!
CMJ,....The tribulation started in the time of Jesus and the apostles and will continue till the last day, judgement day. There is no 7 year tribulation nor a 1000 year rein. Those ideas are nothing but perversions of scripture. The church does not understand the Bible.
Thank you for your god given wisdom sir

Good day, Mr. Allan! I thoroughly enjoy your videos but I do have one question in regards to divorce/remarriage- in the Gospel of Mark 10:1-12, Jesus talks about divorce and remarriage. He points out that the offending party, should they get remarried, commits adultery. My question is if the non-offending party signs the document for divorce, even if they are not guilty of any unfaithfulness, and seeks to get married, would they not also be designated as divorced and to get remarried would mean that they are committing adultery as well? I'd love to hear your response and I have a deep respect for you. Blessings, brother, and have a very good day
Hi Chris! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos. In Matt 19:9, Jesus indicates that the non-offending party may file for divorce and re-marry if adultery has been committed against him.

I took a New Testament class recently where we talked about women's head-coverings. Every woman in the class got so defensive. I hold to the conviction that women should cover their heads during prayer, although I love wearing fedoras, I will take it off to pray according to the Scripture.
Let me take this opportunity to ask this, what does the Bible says about tithing? Does it also apply to todays Christianity?
Thank you for your time and God bless you for your work.
The NT does not contain a hard and fast rule on tithing besides the fact that true believers should tithe. Our ministers labor for us and "the laborer is worthy of his wages". My own personal counsel to believers on tithing is that Christians should make as much money as they can, save as much money as they can and tithe as much as they can. You are welcome and God bless as well.
Thank you very much,
You're more than welcome.
Love your videos, but I have a question. How do you harmonize Paul’s statement that, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord,” and the reality that Christ is at the right hand of the Father, with our still being in Hades’ place of comfort after death? I’ve always understood that Christ led out the OT saints into Heaven after atonement was made for sin, but that unbelievers still go to Hades’ place of torment. Would love your thoughts. Grace and Peace to you, my brother.
@Anthony Dorado Hi Tony. I'm so glad you like my videos. Paul's statement of "being with the Lord" and Jesus statement to the thief about "being in Paradise" are synonymous. Hades has two areas - Paradise and Prison. Departed saints go to Paradise. I disagree with the interpretation of Jesus leading a host of captives that developed in church history as meaning Jesus led the OT saints out of hell. I don't think that is the correct exegesis of Eph 4. Grace and peace to you as well, brother!
AD,.....Pl is confused here. The Bible clearly tells us that when anyone dies, a believer, or an unbeliever we go to sleep and await Judgement day. On judgement day all those that have died will be awoken from their sleep. Some will go to eternal life with God, and others will go to eternal punishment away from the presence of God.
But, as for now, all that have died are sleeping. The next thing they will be aware of will be judgement day.
Polite Leader Appreciate your reply, brother! Looking forward to more of these videos and more videos of a theological nature in the future! God has blessed me greatly through your ministry.

Hi Alan,
So I’m a young believer and currently bordering back and fourth on whether I believe in reformed theology. Currently, the main issue holding me back from fully embracing reformed theology is the doctrine that regeneration proceeds faith. I don’t seem to find this in scripture, but I’m open to learning (considering my ignorance). Could you possibly explain this one day. Thanks
Hi there,
"Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him." 1 John 5:1
This website is very helpful for understanding reformed theology.. www.monergism.com/topics/regeneration Hope this helps!
It can’t possibly be that you were regenerated before faith in Christ. The Bible is clear we are not saved outside of Christ. If someone claims they were regenerated (saved) before faith in Christ, then they are claiming they were saved without Christ.
@@Chris-here
I think you might be confused as to what regeneration is..
Regeneration is a sovereign work of God (Jn. 1:12-13; 3:3-8; Jas. 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:3) a radical work or total transformation (Ezek. 36:26-27; 1 Jn. 3:9) not just an addition...The SOURCE of regeneration is Christ (1 Pet 1:3; Eph 1:3, 2:4, 4:24; 2 Cor 5:17) The AGENT of regeneration is the Holy Spirit (Jn. 3:3-8; Titus 3:5) The INSTRUMENT of regeneration is the Word of God (Jas. 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:23, 25) which precedes and causes faith (Jn 6:63-65, 1 jn 5:1, Eph. 2:5; Col. 2:13)..
Peter Neptune “He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit”- Titus 3:5
If you think you were saved through regeneration as Titus 3:5 reads, you would be correct. However, if Calvinist theology claims regeneration precedes faith, then naturally it is claiming you were saved before faith in Christ. And if you are claiming you were saved before Christ, then you are also claiming you were saved apart from Christ.
The Bible states clearly no one is saved apart from Christ.
@@Chris-here
Um.. I don't know of any Calvinists who would teach that you can be saved apart from Christ.. regeneration is the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit to bring us to Christ so that we believe in Him..

What are your thoughts on the parable of the fig tree in reference to the time Jesus coming back? Some UA-camrs use that passage and the passage about a generation being 70-80 years to say that Jesus might come back in 2028 (80 years from the birth of Israel). They aren’t all necessarily setting dates, but some are saying that 2021 makes seance to them for being a good year for the return.
@robert Butcher Hi Robert. I believe the fig tree represents 1st century apostate Israel and that passage was fulfilled in AD 70 which was within that one generation that you mentioned.
Please don't follow others who claim they know when the second coming is to be. Such speculation only leads to disappointments. The Scripture is very clear; we are not to know when it will be but we must be prepared and watch. The main points of the parable of the ten virgins are that true believers must be prepared and must keep their focus on Jesus at all times while we eagerly await His return. God Bless.
Another thing to watch for is that KJV-onlyism has a weird connection to hypergrace. I’m not sure why there is this connection but I’ve ran into a dozen or so people that believe both. God Bless
Imagine my surprise when you mentioned your position on head covering. Because last evening I listened to R C Sproul’s explanation on his series “The Hard Sayings of the Apostles”. Well, that’s me told 😄. Keep up the very good work.
I am curious, what did RCS say about head coverings?
Tony, since I don’t want to inaccurately convey Dr.Sproul’s message, here is the link. www.ligonier.org/learn/series/hard_sayings_of_the_apostles/to-cover-or-not-to-cover/
@@scripturesays6209 ,...Thanks for sharing that link. Sadly, RCS is a false teacher, and I wanted to hear his opinion on this. His is again wrong as he always is. He does not understand the Bible. But he does understand how to trick people into thinking he is a man of God, he is not. Do not listen to anything this man teaches.
I’ll take my chances. Have a good evening.

@NicoCoco Yes, he's a brother in Christ
@@dman7668 Yes, I think I've heard of that in one of his videos. Although I'm not really sure whether Baptist came from the first church or not.
@@dman7668 thanks for the info. I think what you said is right.
@@dman7668 Wow, thanks you for telling me that. I mean I didn't know any of that. I just know that Baptist is not Reformation right. But they still preach biblical doctrine like our Protestant/Reformation churches. But I just don't get it why he's dislikes us Protestant.
Hey Allen, when someone is saved, do we instantly feel motivated to do the will of God and if not are we saved? Do we have to keep reading and meditating in the Gospel to get convicted?
@NicoCoco ,....So, you are saying we are saved if we have truly repented? So it is up to us, and what we truly do or not? This of course is not at all what the Bible teaches, it is however what the 100% apostate church teaches. That is a false gospel of works, based on what we do, not what God/Jesus has already done.
Would you be able comment about Steve cioccolanti's discover ministries? Is it even biblical?
Do you know what scriptures annihilationists use to support their belief?
What do you think abt Protestant? And what’s your denomination?
That was great.
Thank you!
If you Assemble via Zoom do you need to cover you head as a female? Thanks
GM,.....The head covering has nothing to do with a physical head covering.
Hmmmmm I got one question, are you familiar with a cult leader name Bryan denlinger by any chance? He has a youtube channel go by his name.
I have a question sir.
Can you point me to a UA-cam channel or maybe some reading material about the gospel for my children to help them understand? My daughter is 12 and my son is 10.
EF,.....Read the Bible to them and teach them to read the Bible for themselves. They need nothing other than this.
Living Waters UA-cam Channel and free Movies. My kids love that Channel. His movie Evolution vs. God is fantastic!
@Eddie Forehand Answers in Genesis has some excellent reading materials for children.
@@PoliteLeader Thank you.
Where did R.C. Sproul say those things about head covering? I know about his stand on the topic but I have not heard to things he said about the early church. I would love to see that though

Howdy, Alan :) I am a new listener on your channel, and something you said in this video was a little confusing to me. You answered a question about where we go when we die by saying you believe that we go to Paradise, or Sheol/Hades. Please explain how Sheol and/or Hades can possibly be referred to as Paradise when the uses of either in Scripture reference "going down" and describe them as being unhappy, terrible places. It sort of sounds like you are speaking of 'Purgatory'?
Psalm 6:5 "For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise?"
Num 16:30 "But if the Lord creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised the Lord.”
Did I misunderstand your response? Thanks! Hope you're having a good week!😊
Howdy there, Kat! A belated welcome to you! Sheol-Hades has two components - Paradise and a prison (it's not a biblical term, but meaningful nonetheless). In the OT, the ancient Jews were not provided with the full revelation about the two-fold nature of this intermediary place. It is a Messianic revelation. You are welcome and have a good week as well!
@@PoliteLeader Hmmm. Is this a Calvinistic (I'm not a Calvinist) or denomination-specific meaning/belief? I've been a Christian since 1999 and do not recall ever hearing Sheol-Hades referred to in a positive manner. Can you please direct me to (Biblical) explantations of this? Thank you for your very quick and kind response!
@@momoffive7356 Hi Kat. No this position is not specific to Calvinism or a specific denomination. The Rev Dave Pawson was not a Calvinist and he held to something very similar. Some Christians make the distinction Sheol-Abraham's bosom, Hades-Abraham's bosom, Hades-Paradise. In that case, Hades and Sheol would be bad places and Abraham's bosom and Paradise the good destinations.That may be the position you hold to. I'm not sure. My point was that the OT saints were not in a bad place prior to Jesus' resurrection.

@@PoliteLeader Well, I'm not so sure which position I hold to now either! 😀 As I was thinking about this, it occurred to me that while on the cross, Jesus told one of the criminals that "today you will be with me in paradise." I was taught that meant heaven. BUT...Jesus did not go to heaven for those two days he was dead, did he? 🤔 Oh boy. You've given me some things to ponder! I will look into the resources you provided. Thanks so much, Alan, for your responses! Have a lovely weekend.
@@momoffive7356 You are very welcome, Kat. You have a lovely weekend as well!
Polite Leader, as always I really admire and enjoy your videos. I do have to make one point here concerning the "parable" of the rich man and Lazarus. This passage is often mistaken as a parable when in fact it's a real story. How do I know this? Simple. When Christ spoke in parables, he didn't use real names or persons (aka, Jesus spoke of a king, a man, a sower, a ruler, etc). Also, what is a parable? It's an earthy story that has a Heavenly meaning and Jesus spoke in parables so that the people wouldn't understand the meaning. However, here in Luke 16, Jesus is not disguising words or using hidden meanings; he's using straight forward and very descriptive language about Paradise and Hell. Using real places and real names (Lazarus, Abraham, Hell, etc.) to show that this is not a parable but it's Jesus pulling back the curtain a bit and giving us a glimpse into both realms. Another interesting point: Jesus didn't call the rich man by name as he did Lazarus and Abraham. Why? Jesus calls his own by name and the rest are not recognized by their names as they have no part of Christ. This is shown over and over in scripture when it comes to the 'wicked' or 'lost' and so forth. Thanks again for the Q & A. I do enjoy that as well!
You are welcome! And yes, it could very well be a true event that our Lord is recounting.
Thank you for your teachings on you tube, I learned a lot from you. Speaking of the kjv onlyism, it's the manuscripts that causes the problems. Modern translations use a manuscript called the critical text put together by unbelieving scholars wescort and hort based on two questionable manuscripts the siniacus and vaticanius. These are the two manuscripts used and they disagree with each other thousands of times. Both show countless corrections and write overs with lots of books and chapters left out. These two are highly questionable yet form the basis for new translations. The kjv based on the textstus resceptus agreed ninety eight percent. Please do some research on this and I think you might be surprised. Forgive my spelling. Thank you again for your teaching. Yours in Christ. Bennie.
My mother always had a beautiful hat on in church. 😍
You are an incredible brother in Christ, and fellow Presbyterian, I’m with the PCA, not sure if that’s you
Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm with the RPCNA.
Is there any chance of anyone getting to the Lord's rest?
Great video- love the in-depth answers!
As a Christian female, I’ve come far enough in my journey as a Christian to encounter a very controversial topic:
Are pants men’s clothes? As well as:
Are pants not modest enough?
What is your take on this?
Gem,......very good question.
@@tonybasoni8443 Thank you!
@@gem6105 ,......Here is my take on this. I think there are certain types of pants that a woman can wear, but they would be ones that differ from the type men wear. Such as very loose fitting pants like the older women will wear around the house. Certainly not tight fitting jeans or anything that fits tightly. Definitely no yoga pants. I think a good rule is, a women can never go wrong with a long dress. I think a big part of this is that what Christian a woman wears sets her apart from the ungodly women of the world. Just don't look like them. They are supposed to be setting an example of how to dress, not to go along with what the Godless women wear or do.
@@tonybasoni8443 I appreciate your insight! The “good” pants you wear are the type I wear. All my dresses are knee length, some below
@@gem6105 ,.....Very good. Sounds like you understand this well. Knee length is fine. Peace and grace to you.
One more question that relates to my last is If we start/or already reading the bible is that one way to know we are part of the elect?
@@dman7668 ,....You are partially correct. We do not know for sure, otherwise no faith would be required, this is true. However salvation is not a process, absolutely not. Those that are saved, were SAVED from before the foundation of the earth. Nothing they do or do not do has anything to do with it.
Now on the other hand, God does draw us ( his lost sheep) to himself little by little. But we are 100% saved the entire time.
Should men wear head coverings like the kippah?
@NicoCoco if someone would make a video about it, it would be nice
Correction about Luke 16 (poor Lazarus and rich guy, Abrahmas bosom): It is NOT a parable. Our Lord Jesus tells it as an actual event. In parables Jesus says: „the kingdom of heaven is to be compared to...“
Here not. And in no parable Jesus mentions a name (like here: Lazarus).
As also theologian Dr Fruchtenbaum points out. - kind greetings and blessings.
Greetings PL. Although I pretty much disagree with most of your answers you gave here, I still like you. There is just too much for me to correct. What I find so interesting is the fact that what you get right you get totally right. But then the very next question, you will get totally wrong. One minute you are on the rails, the next minute you are off the rails, and back and forth you go.
I really think the problem comes from the fact that you yourself know what is right but because you are part of the church you have to go off the rails to hold to these wrong doctrines you have to hold to in order to be a part of the church. You try to be respectful to these apostate church leaders, and I understand and admire that. But ultimately, they are holding you back. You do not need any of the teachings of the church. God has clearly given you a great brain, you just need to be able to use it freely without being hindered by the apostate churches leaders teachings.
I can see a new denomination about to blossom called alanism. Ok, well, maybe not, but it does have a nice ring to it. Anyway, nice job, as always. Just need some adjustments to your theology. I guess I can say, you are about as right as you are wrong. Thanks PL for taking the time to do all this. I for one always appreciate it.
Well, thanks for the kind words in that comment at any rate, Ton.
@@PoliteLeader ,.....You bet PL.
@@dman7668 ,....True, but then we have the cult of Catholicism teaching everything the opposite of Gods word, and taking all those snared into it straight into the pit. The time of the end is a terrible thing, deception everywhere.
Don't think the question about infant baptism was clearly answered, can you please clarify @Polite Leader
@Ronnie Rambaz Hi Ronnie. Yeah, I'll devote one video to infant baptism and another to credo baptism.
I just want to hear from your perspective why certain verses of the bible are omitted like the niv and so on.
The sixteen omitted verses
(1) Matthew 17:21. KJV: Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. ...(2) Matthew 18:11. KJV: For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. ...(3) Matthew 23:14. ...(4) Mark 7:16. ...(5 & 6) Mark 9:44 & 9:46. ...(7) Mark 11:26. ...(8) Mark 15:28. ...(9) Luke 17:36.
So you agree that it had people like origen who tried to change what the bible said.
where did god get its nature from?
Are some traditions good to keep?
Definitely!
Yes, the tradition of not keeping any traditions.
@@tonybasoni8443 Lol
@@dman7668 ,....Sorry dman, but the catholic church and all its 100% ungodly traditions are opposed to everything the Bible teaches. The catholic church is a 100% ungodly cult. Those snared into it are completely outside of the kingdom of God and have the lake of fire awaiting them. Run as fast as you can away from it.
The bible says multiple Times to sing the Lord a new Song. Why should'nt we sing worship Songs about the New Testament?
Sorry if my comment Was misleading. I just disagree on the psalms only worship teaching. I think we should consider all scripture. And the New Testament Has a lot of scripture that lead us to praise the Lord i think.

Why is satan bound for only 1000 years?
The number 1000 is a symbolic number, not a literal one.
@@PoliteLeader Oh! Okay. I'm new to all of this - just saved - and working hard to learn all I can. Thank you for your reply.
Hey bro
I believe the beggar Lazarus and rich man was a real live incident, not a parable.
Just my thought🙏.
.
Another thing is Bible never supports "infant baptism". Water baptism is sign and declaration of pure conscience according to I Peter 3 : 21.
Unless a person is born-again how can anyone declare a good conscience to God.
And so infant baptism is wrong and nothing to do with covenant. It's a matter of personal conviction nothing to do with family covenant. ✌✌
Thank you Dman for your reply.
The book of Acts clearly shows that during the first century, the saints believed and were baptized.
No incident of infant baptism is mentioned nor was it practised.
I do believe that the Apostles would never baptize an infant knowing that baptism requires a person to be born-again and repent from sins.
No wonder John the Baptist rebuked the pharisees for coming to be baptized in an unrepentant heart.
.
"The bible doesn't forbid anywhere the baptism of infants". Are you serious man. Neither does the bible support infant baptism.
.
*[[Gen **17:12**-13/KJV]]*
12.And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
13.He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
.
*[[Lev 12:3]] KJV*
And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
.
In Genesis 17:13 and Leviticus 12:3 both the places the circumcision is talking place in the flesh. That is the covenant given to Abraham.
.
*[[Col **2:11**-12/KJV]]*
11.In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
In Colossians 2:11, 12 the scripture mentions of circumcision not made by hands. It has nothing to do with the circumcision which God told to do to Abraham, rather it is the circumcision of Christ, which is through the faith of the operation of God.
Colossians 2:12 clearly mentions of baptism through the experience of faith, nothing to do with infant baptism.
.
Baptism is for Jews and Gentiles who have the capability to experience their faith, which infants can't do. So again it is out of the question to baptize an infant.
.
*[[Mat **19:14**]] KJV* But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
.
*[[Mat 18:2-5/KJV]]*
2. And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3.And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
.
In Matthew 18:2-5 Jesus is telling the adults to become like a child. Humble like a child. That verse is talking about child like nature not literally becoming a child.The same child like nature is mentioned in Matthew 19 : 14. Both the verses in Matthew has nothing to do with infant baptism, rather it is telling the adults (believers) to be child like attitude. Simple minded.
We can also see that in
*[[1Pe 2:1-2/KJV]]*
1.Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
When we lay aside malice, guile, hypocrisy, envies and evil speaking, we become like new born babies. That has nothing to do with literal babies. Its a figure of speech.
.
Finally *[[Mar **16:14**-16/KJV]]*
14. Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15.And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
If you read from Mark 16: 14 & 15, it says that Jesus spoke to His disciples and not to the crowd.
Mark 16 : 16 says believe and baptize. Again believe and baptize.
All those who believe must be baptized.
Baptism has nothing to do with escaping from hell.
Only believers who are born-again are baptized.
I know there are lot of fake so called believers who say we are baptized but are not born-again. Let the Lord God Almighty deal with them.
.
So coming back to the topic, believe and baptize in Mark 16:16.
Jesus is clearly stating to His disciples that you baptize only those people who believe. It is very clear and evident.
Infants cannot believe, so no infant baptism.
.
Thank you
