I know things tend to get convoluted here and I was not insinuating any "ulterior motive" on Chappell's part. I do believe he is acting according to his conscience and have no reason to think otherwise. But as you are saying here and based upon my own observations, I would acknowledge a PCA...

Interesting. Actually what John MacArthur says about the "Mahdi" sounds quite scary! If MacArthur is right I HOPE there will be a Pre-Trib Rapture!

I completely understand that it is hard not to think in such a way! I struggled with it at times while I was serving on active duty and especially when I was in the region in 1986 and this was with the best Commander-In-Chief (Reagan) that I could imagine! I do believe that at this time, our...

Paul Chappell will not accept any other baptism aside from a "Baptist" baptism and such a position keeps the "baptismal waters" stirring in every service. The crazy thing about it though is that he probably wouldn't consider someone's baptism in a Charismatic or non-denominational setting...

In such a case, they would have to agree with Baptists that their prior "baptism" was no baptism at all! Baptists don't believe in "Re-baptism" either, just that any baptism prior to an actual saving faith (regeneration) is no baptism at all. I can appreciate the desire not to get into any...

And such would lend credence to the position of many Baptist congregations who accept nothing else aside from a Baptist baptism! I would not accept a Roman Catholic baptism due to the fact that they believe their baptism (administered by the Roman Catholic Church) is "Regenerative" meaning they...

No one here is for sending anyone's son to die in a senseless war! I can appreciate the concern you have for your own son. Fact of the matter is that once you "Raise your right hand," you belong to Uncle Sam and Uncle Sam can do for you as he pleases! Anyone who enlists in the military must be...

I don't know about "adult" baptism but we would certainly want their baptism to follow a legitimate profession of faith. The subject of baptism can get convoluted and if one was a Presbyterian, I would be curious to know whether they would accept Roman Catholic Baptism as being legitimate...

I believe dialogue is quite helpful and Christians in the USA really need to look at things aside from US Politics so I would welcome this.

Not sure of what you mean by "Carriers." Iran has ZERO Aircraft carriers if this is what you are speaking of. I seriously doubt they have anything much more substantial than a "Corvette" and likely not even this! When I was over there in 1986, I believe they had two or three ships that you could...

I think we ought to and if President Trump were to send troops over there, I would support him 100%! SHAME ON THE UN FOR DOING NOTHING!

I agree that there is some really bad theology out there and I have heard my own Senator (Ted Cruz) butcher Gen 12:1-3 in order to justify unconditional support for Israel no matter what! I am not for unconditional support of Israel but I am for support of anyone who is fighting terrorism who...

I absolutely do and I believe I have stated so! They are not the blood-thirsty terrorists set on the destruction of Israel. They are caught in the middle and are often forgotten in the conflict. They are likely victims of Hamas just as are the Israelis. We should absolutely pray for and show...

For me, it is. When I was in the Philippines, I was hearing about how the Iranians were going out, burning hijabs, and other acts of defiance and protest against the Khameni regime. At the time, I was hopeful that perhaps this would be their "Wall coming down" event and that perhaps there may...

I agree that we do not need to foist "American Democracy" down their throats. Hopefully we have learned this lesson. Based upon President Trump's speech, he is going to "let them chart their own destiny. Hopefully this can happen without a single "Americian Boot" on Iranian soil. The wild cards...

I can 100% appreciate your sentiments here! I was optimistic about Iraq and Afghanistan as well but the fact of the matter is that in both these cases, we were "liberating" people who did not want to be liberated and we never fully neutralized the enemy and FULLY CONQUERED the land! We needed to...

As soon as Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, they would be testing it on Israel. This is a cold hard fact. If Iran obtains nukes, there WILL BE a nuclear war in the future. You can count on it. President Trump is doing good. I do not like the idea of "Regime Change" wars for the sake of regime...

How many Christians has the Iranian regime slaughtered the past month or so that the news press refuses to cover?

It used to be that wearing a beard (or any sort of facial hair) was highly frowned upon. Not so much for those who were in "laity" but definitely for the clergy. I had a moustache and sideburns in the 80s but when I noticed that none of my favorite "Preechers" had any facial hair, I shaved mine...

And that we did. We were also in a culture where we got them "dunked" as soon as we could. I call this practice into question. Perhaps you are a "Paedobaptist" who would baptize their baby whether they wanted to or not? Not going to debate this but simply point out that such brings about its...
