DAVEH:� LOL.......Well Perry, you may think they are "prooftexts", but from my perspective you are lacking perspective.� For example, you seem to think we practice baptism for the dead because we have prooftexted 1Cor 15:29.� Nothing can be further from the truth.� In reality, we practice it because of latter-day revelation.� It is your lack of perspective that gives you the perception that we prooftext such passages.� The same applies to many other doctrines.� We believe the Lord has revealed much more of his Gospel, which makes it easier to understand that which was previously revealed.� I realize you don't accept that, but it explains why we view things a bit differently and why (from your limited perspective) you think we sometimes prooftext. > Perry > > >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Natural birth or baptism? > >Date: Sun, 18 May 2003 07:59:31 EDT > > > >In a message dated 5/18/2003 2:55:17 AM Central Daylight Time, > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > > > DAVEH:� Just out of curiosity, Laura, do you believe a covenant is > >necessary > > > for salvation? > > > >> BUT works should follow a salvation decision.� Laura > > > > > > >What do you mean by covenant?� Laura -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain Five email lists...
