Bible reference to infant baptism |
Answer |
Bible general |

From a very balanced debate between R.C. Sproul and John MacArthur:
One of the things that John has made absolutely clear in his excellent presentation today is that there’s nowhere in the New Testament that explicitly commands the baptism of infants, or explicitly mentions the baptism of infants. And so he concludes it’s simply not in the New Testament. And from an explicit perspective, I agree with him completely. We also have stipulated and agreed that there’s no explicit prohibition against infant baptism to be found anywhere in the New Testament either.
So in the absence of explicit teaching, both sides in this controversy are forced to rely upon inferences drawn from what is explicit in Scripture, and that should by the very virtue of that fact force us to go the second mile in patience with one another when we recognize, I cannot prove to John MacArthur that Scripture commands the baptism of infants, and by not baptizing infants he is being disobedient to his Lord and at the same time he can’t point to a text in the Bible that explicitly prohibits infant baptism and say to you, “R.C., you have to stop doing what Scripture prohibits.” I think we all understand the absence of the explicit directives in either case and since we are both relying upon inferences, we have to be exceedingly patient and charitable with each other.

I agree with the others - you need to check with the specific church.
The broader question is whether a Song Leader needs to meet the qualifications of an elder. Many churches consider the Worship Leader position as a pastoral/teaching role since worship music also teaches theology. I personally feel the worship leader needs to be meet the elder qualifications, which would limit this role to men.
"For a woman to serve as a worship leader or music minister in a church is a more difficult issue. Part of the difficulty in making application here lies in the lack of uniform agreement among various church traditions regarding the role and function of one who serves in such a ministry. It is certainly possible for a woman to serve in a position in which she leads in congregational singing during a church worship service. However, it would depend on how that particular church understands the degree of authority that she holds over the assembled congregation and the extent to which she provides instruction. Is her position understood as one of authority over the congregation similar to a pastor/elder? Does she provide doctrinal commentary between songs or other doctrinal instruction to the choir or congregation? Does her “leading” involve the exercising of authority over others or, rather, providing leadership regarding timing, tempo, music, etc.? Does she direct the church to a particular song in a hymnal and invite those assembled to praise the Lord, or does she engage in more biblical exhortation like a pastor/elder? Churches ought to take these kinds of questions into consideration when attempting to apply biblical principles to this ministry position."

gphilipp00,
Welcome to the forum. The question I would have for you here would be where are they wrong and how. What would be a scriptural basis if any for doing this. There can be a fine line between what is scriptural and what ones own feelings or oppinion may be. Generous application of 2 Ti 2:15 and 2 Pt 1:20,21 is important here.
In Him,
lionheart

Mitch: I know of no Scriptual reason NOT to have a Christian female as a song leader. But that is again left up to each church.
Personally, women are far more talented than just as a care giver for infants and childre, Why do you ask?

how many years from Joseph to Moses |
Answer |
Exodus |

The Israelites lived in Egypt for 350 years at the time of the birth of Moses.
The Israelites lived in Egypt for 286 years at the time of the death of Joseph.
350 (Moses birth) - 286 (Joseph's death) equals 64 years between Joseph's death and Moses' birth.
The math follows:
Joseph
From the time Israel was formed (the covenant of Genesis 12) to the death of Joseph was 25 plus 60 plus 130 plus 71 equals 286 years.
1) 25 Years. Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born (Gen. 25:1), but the covenant of Genesis 12 was made when Abraham was 75, so the Israelites had lived in Egypt for 25 years when Isaac was born .
2) 60 Years. Isaac was 60 when Jacob was born (Gen. 25:26)
3) 130 years. Jacob went down into Egypt at age 130 (Gen. 47:9).
4) 71 years. Joseph lived to be 110 (Gen. 50:26). Joseph was 39 when Jacob arrived in Goshen at age 130 (Gen. 45:6).
Moses
1) Moses was 80 years old at the time of the Exodus (Ex. 7:7)
2) The time that the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years. (Ex. 12:40)
The Israelites lived in Egypt for 430 - 80 equals 350 years at the time of Moses birth.

That makes sense, since there were two generations between ...
Joesph and Levi were brothers. Levi bore Kohath who bore Amram who bore Moses (Exo 6:16-20).

God's day to you, Porta,
The subject of tongues divides believers.
Adding to what out brother Tim wrote ...
Look at "So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe" (1Co 14:22).
You are right God did use tongues to divide at the Tower of Babel (with at least one man and one women speaking the same "new" tongue) ... and to unite on Penetecost. People heard their own language, not Aramaic, Hebrew or even Greek.
I am not sure that there is an "unknown" (to any man) tongue ... and even if there s, what is spoken needs to follow proper grammer.

Exodus 6 vs verses 9 |

Ex 9:6 |

The NIV translation "all the livestock of the Egyptians died" would seem to suggest that no Egyptian livestock survived the plague, especially when this statement is followed by the (correctly translated) statement "but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died." Yet when one reads on to the account of the seventh plague, it is clear that there were plenty of Egyptian livestock still alive, since they are mentioned as being in danger of being killed by the next plague, that of ferocious hail (9:19-21). Moreover, Egyptian livestock are described as alive at the advent of the account of the final plague, that of the death of the firstborn (12:29).
This apparent contradiction is not due to inconsistency among the plague accounts, multiple contradictory sources for them, or any similar cause. It is due simply to the fact that the Hebrew word kol, usually translated "all," can mean "all sorts of " or "from all over" or "all over the place." In this verse the better translation of the full expression would be "all sorts of Egyptian livestock died" or "Egyptian livestock died all over the place."
- New American Commentary – Volume 2: Exodus (Douglas K. Stuart)
Note that this is reflected in the Amplified Bible - "and all [kinds of] the livestock of Egypt died" |

My dear brother thanks for your response it's always good to use scipture.this is my understanding, there are ony times when god used tongues at the tower of babel,and on the day of pentecost but many say unknown tongues I am wrong first of all tongues is speaking in a different language first God used it to separate the people(bable) and the second to spread God's word there were so many people that had to hear the word.
Thanks,

Dear Searcher,
Just an aside: I uncomfortable with the phrase "pure blood Jew." In the time of Christ one could go to the Temple and trace one's lineage to Abraham, or to that of Jewish convert of record. After the destruction of the Temple, one is considered a Jew whose mother was a Jew -- obviating the need to examine the validity of one's paternal origins.
Assuming we are talking about an identifiable group called Christians, the narrative regarding Cornelius precedes the use of the term (Acts 11:26).
If we are speaking salvifically, then, of course, we should have to go back much, much farther! (1 Peter 1:20-21)
By the way, doesn't the Centurion of Matthew 8 and Luke 7 deserve some consideration? After all, he was the only one whose faith caused our Savior to marvel (Matthew 8:10 and Luke 7:9), as it exceeded the faith found in any of the descendants of Jacob.

Hi, Pew...
I apologize for accusing you of misdirection. Thank you for correcting my error.
Nonetheless, I think I will happily stick with the NASB. (Thank you, Lockman!) This single example of Acts 6:2 (where the HCSB renders "to serve tables" with "handling financial matters") is demonstrates how dynamic equivalence can go astray. Their rendering violates the context of the passage; i.e., the fair ministration to widows.
Therefore, I shift the blame of misdirection to the translators of HCSB (http://www.hcsb.org/pages/hcsbpages/About.aspx). Even the NIV and NLT (paraphrase) does a better job on this verse!

Mitch,
While I agree with the others that this is probably not quite the best place to ask, for what its worth I shall respond. The reason I'm responding is because I am the pastor of a missionary baptist church. The answer is ofcourse that there is not set "role" of women just like there is no set "role" of men. All are to be godly, holy, obedient to the scriptures. All showing the traits found in places like galatians 5 and 2 Peter 1, all are suppose to be using their spiritual giftings to serve other christians. Perhaps if you were to ask a more specific question I could help you more than this.
In Christ, Beja |

God's day to you, bertjon2000, and welcome to the SBF,
Can we presume all those converted in Jerusalem were pure blood Jews? We may presume so. But we don't know.
Out side of that we have the three sons of Noah:
The Samaritans son of Shem (Acts 8:4-25). They also had at least one of the other sons. They were not pure Jews.
The Ethiopian eunuch son of Ham (Acts 8:26-40). He could have been a Jew. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship (v 27) ... but that doesn't make him a Jew. Yes, I know the Jews were from Shem, too ... I wanted to show how the Gospel reached his sons outside of Jerusalem.
Cornelius son of Ham Japheth (Acts 10:1-11:18) is the one many/most say was the first Gentile was convert.
What do you think?
