i was so happy to attend spiritual gathering of all pentecostals (pcnak) , 2013 conference is a real blessing for me. but 2013 meeting is the last meeting that in my life i attend pcnak. why because some croocked fellows who filled with evil spirit wanted to destroy this spiritual gathering at any rate, and they want play with the holy name of god. i thank the committee members of 2013 pcnak, who worked in unity

ron: that is very true. there are some new testament "red letter edition" in which everything that jesus said is in red letter. it is very hard to find "red letter believers" today, but the black letter followers are rapidly increasing. what paul and peter wrote to different churches in their view points (they were filled with the holy spirit) had greater difference in outlook. the vast majority of the denominations were started based on some special issues addressed to churches at the first century. if jesus is trying to enter many of the churches in the same outfit he had while he was on the earth, our lord jesus won't get entrance in many fashionable church buildings, but may have to wait outside and listen through the public address system. it is time now to look to jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, and be a true red letter follower.

How people are quarreling for their churches their doctrines.No one wants to love or show kindness.When christians meet these happens,
1.Marthomites will say oh other churches,they are fake,we are the only church following ST.Thomas tradition.
2.Pentecostals say other churches are from satan.
3.Bretheren say no gifts from spirit working now its for past so all others are fake.
4.Catholics say we are the only church established by St.Peter we are the only true bride,for all others sorry.
5.Some independent churches say jacobites,marthomites,catholics,CSI these are satanic churches.They also say traditional pentecostal churches(TPM,Church of God,AG,IPC)"oh they have the presence of spirit in the past,but now the church is dead,if you want salvation come with us otherwise go perish".Dear brothers am i telling lie,you know its the truth.In every church their are bad people,who have other targets.Please don't be angry with your brothers love them as you lov

The most cursed thing in the world now is the people are attracted and surrendered to superman spiritualists. When they run beyond the scripture, claiming the Holy Spirit gave them a new revelation, people believe it and ignore what is written on such issues.People are made afraid of the loving God by the super spiritualists'super techniques to make people surrendered to them, for their gains. Demonstrations of Catherine Coolman and her disciple Benny Heen who claimed anointed from the tomb of Catherine Coolman are examples for failed super spiritualists. When the so called Pentecostal leaders run behind Benny Heen they ignored his history through Catherine. No one can ban the women ministers acting wilfully against 1 Cori.14:34,35 & 1 Thimo.2:12 . But those who wish to obey the word of God must ignore unauthorised women ministries. Also all man ministers must be denied if they are following new revelation beyond the written word of God. Contd....

1 corr.15:29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
Proxy Baptism for the dead?
Paul did not condemn the practice of proxy baptism for dead. Why you people are against paraying for the dead.

@ robin, let me ask you this, you just said 5- families are mentioned being baptized in Bible, so that means there were adults also in that group who were Baptized, so why is that is some churches today only the children are Baptized ? Read the Bible, Acts 19:4 and Romans 10:9&10. Baptism should be given to a repenting soul and not to anybody, children are given a grace period, because they are treated just like Angels, by our heavenly father and they don't need Baptism at that stage in their life. So if among the 5-families there were children, they were only taking a bath, and no harm because of it. That dip in the water by that children is not considered as a Baptism, because Baptism is a process for repentance and children are incapable of doing it. Answer my question that I asked before, if the 5-families got baptized, there were adults in it, so why are the adults not getting baptized in some churches ???

@Joy Chempakasseril, Sally Tx and Mathew:
Mathew must meditate on 1Timothy 1:5-7 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 6From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
Also 2Peter 3:16
He speaks about this subject in all his letters. Some things in them are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, leading to their own destruction, as they do the rest of the Scriptures.
No further explanation is needed about what he does to the readers of BJ through these columns by offering his unsolicited comments.

@ mathew- the reason why you and your churches insist on 'child-baptism' is because, there won't be too many adults to get baptized if they are asked for due to the reason that, there is not much depth or passion in faith about god or heaven in you traditional-ritualistic churches and then that the running or having a church becomes senseless! we know that too! don't simply bluff at things and act like you are smart, you have to have something within you when you say something! your words or points should make some sense, but unfortunately they are not-- you make many spelling mistakes too, shame on you!!!!!!

@Mathew...I have been following your replies on various issues since quite some time and I feel pity on your ignorance. Either you are burying the truth purposely or pretending to be ignorant. Please try to know the real truth and the truth will set you free. Whoever you are, please come out of your cocoon, pray to the Lord to open your eyes to understand the scripture in its right perspective than to interpret the scriptures according to your own understanding. All your comments are biased ones. It is just like the four blind-men's narration about elephant. To know and understand the real elephant, one has to see it. My humble advice to you is to stop stumbling on the real truth lest you will have to pay a heavy price. Nanma cheyyan arinjittum cheyyathavanu athu paapam aanu. Please do not fill these colums for arguments' sake or populaity's sake. If you do not know, then please keep quite rather than venturing in to like 'iruttokondu otta adackal" business. Best wishes.

Hoe do you find who is a Beliver? See Mark 16:16. Below:
So Panticost person should first give Poison to the man who says he belive to understand whether he believe or not before giving Baptism to Adult.
Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Can i give poison to you? ayyo pedichu odi pokathe.. ethiri visham kazhikanalle paranjullu..

@ mathew- the reason why you insist on having 'child-baptism' is because, in your churches if the priest asks for the adults to get baptized, there won't be too many people for that and the reason is that, there is not much passion or depth in faith about god among people in your traditional-ritualistic churches and that the running of a church becomes totally senseless at that point. i tried not to say this, but you don't let me otherwise, now think about it.may god bless the baptized!!!

@ mathew- "uttharam-mottiyaal konjhanam kanicchittu karriyam oonddoo?-you are in total disarray and lost your terrain of thought now. you are referring to out-of-context issues and just bringing is fragmented bits from bible, because of your frustration. the debate was about "child baptism", and not about 'repentance'! child-baptism is meaningless and totally non-biblical, while i agree with you that 'repentance' is a continuous thing, we never had a problem with that, so why you debate that now! your first and second paragraph doesn't make any sense to anybody. if baptism wasn't necessary why you talk about child-baptism ? and the adults in your church never get baptized right ? mr mathew, baptism, is totally necessary for salvation. salvation and grace has association with repentance -- grace is not a thing 'on-sale' for everybody, god should feel that you deserve grace. baptism is ordained by god, your statement in your second paragraph is total nonsense!

@ kunjachan-contd_1 jesus also showed an example- about how to take a baptism and it was a-baptism by immersion!jesus went to jordan river and took water baptism by immersion under john the baptist!well jesus didn't require a baptism and was only setting an example.baptism is symbolic of jesus crucifixion and the person who takes it declares and acknowledge himself that jesus died for his sins and he accepts it and is a visual proclamation of that belief. baptism in actuality is a blessing given through father god for that acceptance and proclamation.you also said-quote- the thief who took original baptism on the cross fulfilled the requirement and was saved. if that was baptism,then the thief on the left side also took baptism and why was he not saved ??? the difference that paved the way for salvation was the acceptance of the thief on the right side that,"jesus is lord and that jesus died for his sins"- so that was not baptism,that was crucifixion,the symbolism is called baptism!

@joy usa.. And this repentance is a continuous one as holy spirit work in you..Then you trust in God. Now you are Born of Spirit. First you were born of Flesh. Now you are Born again by Spirit. Paul got Holy spirit first then only he repent and believe in Christ. None of the apostles took Baptism. So Baptism of Water is not necessary. But Baptism of Holy spirit is essential to get rebirth. Baptism of Holy spirit is Essential, not water baptism and that is the first step.

@joy usa please try to understand bible deeply.. read: 1corinthians 1: 14 i am thankful that i did not baptize any of you except crispus and gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 16(yes, i also baptized the household of stephanas; beyond that, i don't remember if i baptized anyone else.) 17for christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of christ be emptied of its power. --you cannot establish a doctrine just by quoting one verse from bible. more over born of water does not mean water baptism. water is often refereed to as spirit greek explanation is you must be born of water that is spirit. next word say that which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of spirit is spirit. that means born of baptism of holy spirit. not water baptism. continue..

@ kunjachan- quote-the most important act prescribed in the bible is the faith baptism...it is not for cleansing,but to wear christ. anyone who accept jesus as per rom 10:9 is cleansed and become eligible to wear christ. well,i differ from your view,first of all you are contradicting your own statements, at first you says, baptism is not for cleansing and later you says,by cleansing one become eligible to wear christ- i do not understand what you mean by that! roman 10:9, only talks about how to be saved-- confess with your mouth, "jesus is lord" and believe in your heart that god raised him(jesus) from the dead. baptism is a cleansing process also, as we are all born in sin,sanctification is needed,and that is the very purpose of baptism. you also say-quote- the original baptism jesus took is the one on calvary!-- well there is no original and then a duplicate baptism. what jesus took on calvary was a'persecution'on behalf of us,for our sins, an assignment from father god. contd_1

Priests have warned the believers that
they may not baptise the children and

Refer to Mark CH:1 V:9, Refer to Luke Ch:3 V:21 Now all the people were baptized-- This tells you that the people[grown-ups] were baptized not children.

@ Mathew: what your are doing right now is playing a "monkey-game"! read Bible and try to understand properly, what you have in you is a distorted version of ideas and interpretations of Bible. I am telling you again and again, child baptism is a meaningless ceremony. It appears to me that you are being helped or told to do this from a person at a different location and there is some confusion surrounding the reproduction of it, I see some symptoms. You are jumping here and there and not answering my queries. Please show me specifically from the entire Bible a child being mentioned been given BAPTISM.

both the lord's supper and baptism.
the gospel of jesus christ will transform human hearts, and baptism
is for anybody of any age, who was transformed by the gospel of christ.
are the children born in sin or sinners?
why they need to be baptized?
the religious hierarchy is keenly interested to play their religious roles
and to control the laymen anyway possible in every religious sacrament
possible. mathew, please read the bible touching those portions about baptism, and the holy spirit will guide and lead you to confirm the biblical

The most important act prescribed in bible is the faith baptism.It is not for cleansing but to wear Christ(V.gal.3:27).Any one who accept Jesus as per Rom.10:9 is cleansed and become eligible to wear Christ.Those who wear Christ only become God's children.It has declared by heaven when Jesus took baptism(my beloved son). The original baptism Jesus took is the *** on the cross. The thief who declared Jesus as Lord took the original baptism on the cross itself.Water baptism is symbolic and allowed by heaven for us only.Remember the thief died after Jesus.So he has fulfilled the rule for salvation clearly.

I think we must be inclusive as Jesus was inclusive. There are core beliefs that we should not compromise on, there are other non core beleifs that there should be room for interpretation. Baptism of the believer is a core belief.
Infant baptism, just like dedication is not a core belief and so if a parent wants to baptize a child, there is nothing wrong with it in itself as long as it does not stand in the place of adult baptism.

problem with pentecostal churches is they read the bible without understanding history & what circumstances they wrote the book..you can't talk bible without tradition. bible is not a book gifted by God on one day.. it is evolved through years. our holy fathers discussed in synod & made this bible in present form. unlike the muslims, bible is evolved through the tradition.. plse understand first the church formed, not the bible what we have seen now..

MATHEW: The Episcopal Churches are leaning far more greatly on "traditions"
rather than the living word of God.
If we read the New Testament, it is very clearly written that "bapitsm" is
only for the believers. Can the infant
of three or five months have the
capacity of " believing the gospel"?.
Some of the Churches give too much
importance to declare the numbers of
bapitsms in their denominations. Who baptized the thief on the cross before
his death?
The Episcopal Churches are holding to one chapter of the Bible (please read
Acts of the Apostle Chapter 16). Verse 33 says " And he took them the same hour
of the night and washed their stripes.
And immediately he and all his family
were baptized". There might be children in the family, so the children
were also baptized is the hypothetical
conclusion of the Episcopal Churches.
There is no passage in the

I wonder why pentecostal people try to potrait child baptism as non biblical. according to all episcopal churches child baptism is biblical. you can hear the strong words of God from the bishop on following link: www.esnips.com/web/BAPTISMMAMMODISASPEECHHYMNS

If this Sunny Abraham has a doubting spirit of attacking the living word of God, then the believers must watch him very carefully. One day, God almighty will make him understand that he was playing with the living word of God. Voltaire said, within 30 years after his death, the Bible will be handled by the people as a story book, but in his *** bed, he made his repentence. Years back, the Presiding Bishop of the Marthoma Church didn't believe what Jesus did in Mathew 14, feeding the five thousand people. The Bishop wrote in Malankara Sabhatharaka " that the people used to carry food with them, and when Jesus said, they all put together the food, then started serving to all. Then the balance turned to 12 baskets of food". For him, JESUS was a social revolutionary with great commanding power. It is very clearly written that only one boy had five loaves of bread and two fishes, and the disciples made that statement to Jesus very clearly and openly.
