Bro, it is quite definitely saying: "When we baptise babies of Christians, God brings them to new birth, saves them, and puts Christ in them."

So take heart brother, your faculties are not failing you. But the faculties of this Dennis the Menace certainly are found wanting.

As was the Slaughter of the Innocents, the first Christian Martyrs
Matthew 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
Maybe your god is too weak to prevent this, not mine.

..REAL Christians discard lies from ANY source. You discard these verifyable quotes because they ARE TRUE, from an RCC scholar and shed light on the dark world you live in.

It is true that God loves all of His children, but not all are his children.

John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do."

There is only one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ.

The definition of pornography has changed/degenerated over the years. What you commonly see on the magazine racks at the grocery stores or what some people wear at the beach would be considered pornography or indecent 50 years ago. So, in essence, our kids are seeing 'porn' every day. This is a debauched culture that worships the god of sex. I often use the surveys at grocery stores to complain about the filthy magazines. Somebody has to. I have not had the courage to take one of these magazines up to the manager for a discussion about common sense and decency. It is definitely difficult as a Christian man to live a sanctified life with this refuse everywhere. Almost have to walk around with your head down these days.

Very good scripture; thanks! It sounds like a true Christian was suffering for reasons he could not comprehend. But, then like all believers instead of leaving God, he turned to Him beginning in verse 20. Adversity makes all believer's faith stronger and it drives others away.
EXCELLENT SCRIPTURE!
[5] For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour [is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning. [6] And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. (Psa 30:5-6 KJV)

I've got one more scripture for you to add to your collection. But then, you've probably got it already:

Isaiah 50:10 KJV
10 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

Apparently I have a reading comprehension problem and "no" seems unwilling to help me out so could someone explain what this fellow meant.....
"Yes, we baptize babies. Unmistakably Scriptural proof substantiates that doctrine. Christian history, unbroken and uninterrupted. reflects such practice in each generation. Conscientious Christians do not delay but hasten with their children to Baptism that they may received the gift of salvation and regeneration and gratefully embrace the Apostle’s affirmation extended to those of all age groups: "For as many of you as have been baptized have put on Christ" (Galatians 3: 27)."

At least this fellow is honest enough to confess that infant baptism imparts salvation and regeneration by the putting on of Christ.

For a while there I thought I was having an extended senior moment.
