This is very nice in so many ways.
I remember when I met him, probably about seven years ago, that he had spoken about wanting a wife.
I am so very happy he has found someone that will love him for who he is.
He has been a blessing for many and it seems blessings are coming to him.

They will be controlling large groups of US citizens?
You mean "Freedom of Speech" is no longer available in mass gatherings, in the USA? Like in sporting events?
Will Ed Snowden be with them? Will he be terminated?
Will witnesses for the prosecution be eliminated?
Will witnesses for the defense be eliminated?

Actually I think what your thinking of is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Many refer to themselves as being "Spirit Filled" and they believe that speaking in tongues is evidence of this baptism of the Spirit.
The ones I knew seemed to use the two terms interchangeably.
I asked my question because some Pentecostals seem to feel that there are two kinds of christians: those baptized only of water and those baptized both of water and blood.
They claim to be baptized of both and therefore are superior.

Water baptism is an individuals outward expression of one's commitment to Christ which is a voluntary act by the individual or a human action. Baptism of the Spirit is an act of God on the individual who has made his/her commitment to Christ. There is no "baptism of the blood". The blood sacrifice was an OT law that was canceled when Jesus gave up His life on Cross shedding His blood as the final blood sacrifice.
I think you are referring to what I heard them speaking of as "Baptism Of The Blood"
Thank you.

Me too,but to be forgiven of your sin the hebrews used to offer a sacrifice like a lamb and spill it's blood to take away your sins.In the N.T.there is Baptism with water.No lamb needed.
But Pentecostals speak of a separate "Baptism Of The Blood."
Anyone with knowledge of the practice and its significance?

Wait,Baptism does not save one from sin (original).But you do it anyway.Baptized by submersion in a river or having Holy Water poured over your head as a baby goes by the same virtue.I believe all Christians are Baptized.I was Baptized for the forgiveness of original sin not to join a church.There is one Baptism for the forgiveness of sin i don't think for every church you go to.As long as you don't exclude other Christians for not being Baptized in your Church,than i'm good with that.
I have a question on something I do not understand about baptism.
Some say there is only one baptism - with water.
Other groups talk of "Baptism Of The Blood."
Could one of you please explain the difference and its significance?

My brother had one, called an Isetta as I recall. Had no why he bought it. His next car was a 911. Well, they go together.
Sort of like an F-150 and a Fiat 500.
Really, the Fiat 500 is an excellent child car seat for the F-150.
Joyfullee, thank you for a reasonable and insightful post.

Here comes the hard part. (Damn). Remoman, I am sorry that I had up set you. If I knew how to type apoloized, then I would like to offer my apology to you. If you would like you can call me a donkey's ass. I won't mind. Just don't make this any harder for me than it all ready is. I am sorry. God loves you and so do I. I won't say any more bad things about you (in this thread only). God bless.
Bangee, I understand that you and I differ in our understanding of christianity.
I do not hate you.
I do not dislike you.
I do not even know you.
I do find it offensive when you have made so many judgments about me and my faith and my motives.
With that said, I am willing to forgive and forget and place your motives as that of sincere criticism based on your beliefs.
For the record, I will not stop continuing to post the absurd or offensive that I see someone, minister of not, doing in the name of christianity.
Many have called themselves christians from Mother Teresa to Jim Jones, Tony Alamo and David Koresh.
I is not for me to judge and I will not deny any of them the right to call themselves christian, but as in the case of the last three, I will call out stupidity, insensitivity or outright evil.
BTW, your sense of humor gave me a laugh:
"I won't say any more bad things about you (in this thread only)."May God bless your life.
