Most lodges are not compatable with the christian faith.
nor are the boy scout's or Girl scout's of america .
"Qath's".
That allow belief in any god
and then state "they are duing their duty to God."
Come on how can that be compatable with christianity.
How can one do their duty to God if they do not believe in Christ as their only savior from sin or that He is God?
Thats why  xxxxxx of the xxxxxxx confession's  are not allowed to participate in any of  them. Lodges or the boy or Girl scout's of America . These are all in some form religious organization's that allow rejecting of Christ Our Godly King.
and unbiblical doctrine's.
so member's of
xxx ,xxx, and xxx xxxxxx are taught not to join such groups that are religious in  nature and alow rejection of Christ and his bible.
Perhaps some day the boy scout's and girl scouts will drop the religious connection so we can participate.
Because their is many  good parts  about them.

Aim I saying my denomination has the whole truth?
 Would i not be the dumbest christian, if i said it did not.
For if i said that! then Could you not say. Then you don't have God's bible.

I think it is wrong for any one to think they have a right to interpet scripture as they see fit
. For scripture interpet's itself .clear passages shedding light on those that are less clear to our sinfilled fallen state.

We in this life CAN not understand the mystery of the Trinity
oR  Christ  his natures his virgin birtrh  , OR predestination of Gods  elect OR Jesus  real presence in God's  sacrament's .
But we should never deny what God has said of these supernatural mysteries . That God  has set fourth in crystial clear scriptural language.
 For to do so would make God and his bible a book of confusion.
If we can not agree on these most Basic point's how can there be God pleasing religious fellowship.
Should  we now interpet Gods command to stay away from those who teach differently. Romans 16:17
To mean it is ok to pray with or worship with or be led in bible study  by those of different belief's .
Will not God  THEN have a perfect right to ask  each of us what part of stay away from !did you not understand in my bible?
I mean lets be perfectly honest. Most denominations do not even agree on the doctrine by what Christ church stands or fall's The doctrine of How people  are Justified by God!
Is it by faith or through faith? is it by Christ his merit's alone.
or is it a decision of our's  to accept Jesus. Or was it really Jesus decision to accept us the sinner.
Did Jesus come into this world  to show us a way or did he
 fuLLy win our way.

What is repentance ? denomination's are even in difference on that . Some say it is a personal decision to  turn away from sin.
My church certainly does not teach that, thank God.

fOR How can a person truly repent? unless they understand
repentance must at all times  include trusting the forgivness Jesus has already won for us. by his perfect life and innocent death in our stead.
Only then is the holy spirit pleased to work in us a chnge of heart torward our sin's.


 

The law came through Moses grace and truth came through Jesus Christ!

confusing law with  gospel is of no benefit for any one.

 Christ himself  instututed  the great commision which included baptism . BAPTISM is not  law that just shows our sin's .
But baptism is the visible  Gospel that show's our only  savior from sin .
 Jesus .

baptism is  pure  grace In Christ's atoning work which saves us from  sin death and the devil.
for those that trust in Christ his almighty meirt's alone.
 No where does scripture say baptism must be by immersion.
As i recall scripture only say's that some person's came straight way out of the water . which simply is Gods way of saying after baptism they immediatly left the water.
Water  or the depth or lack of depth  has no great merit in it self . But  when water  is connected
with Gods almighty word and promises then it is to God's merit all credit for  saving work must be credited.
be it to a babe a teen or oldster receiving it.



   A person is baptized “in the name of the Father,” meaning that God is now his gracious Father; “in the name of the Son,” meaning that he receives all the benefits of the Son’s work of redemption; and “in the name of the Holy Spirit,” meaning that he receives in baptism the life-giving presence of the Holy Spirit.   “In the name of” has in it the meaning “by authority of” and “on the basis of.”  Baptism has the authority of the Triune God behind it.  The power and effectiveness of baptism is guaranteed by the Triune God. Baptism brings a person into a relationship with the Triune God.

Yet is not a infant's  baptism still  not the safest baptism of all.
for scripture say's they can believe in Jesus and they to are included in all nation's that are to be baptized .and yet
none of them has ever come to Christ as a Judas!

Yes I agree we "should" be able to pray and worship together
and have bible study together but we can't because
of different belief's. That should and must divide us.
romans 16:17

Michael Servetus
is well known for
using  his human reasoning power to reject  scripture's teaching
on One true God in three person's.
John 20:17
And  
John calvin is well known for using  his human  reasoning power  to go against scripture's
teaching that Christ Died for all winning all people  forgivness of sin's and a home in Heaven with Jesus.
2nd corinthians 5:18-19

both were very reasonable men.

Hopefuly none of us will not be  so reasonable .

Christianity needs "not" to be made "reasonable".
for it is human  reason that  needs to be made more Christian.
Romans 11:33-36

human  reason needs to hold it self "captive to Scripture".
Gods word! 2 corinthians 10:5

exactly what does this website mean by christian's unite?
certainly one should not unite religiously at the expence
of the bibles  doctrines.
hopefuly it is  meant " christian's  unite for discussion purposes only?
I mean a believer in the lutheran confession's  and another Christian certainly can not pray or worship or have bible study  together the differences are to vast.
so exactly what is meant by unite??/

thank's
