Talk:Idol

idol

The Cath-Calvanite ++++++++++

has changed the definition of idol.

What exactly is an idol ?

a representation or symbol

of an object of worship

broadly : a false god

Idolatry is the worship of an idol or cult image,

being a physical image,

such as a statue, or a person

other than God

as if it were God.

Calvanite +++++++++++

we need to get a better definition of what an idol is.

An idol is when something or someone becomes more important to us than God.

---

baptism is a symbol of the work of Jesus in a Christian’s life.

It is a picture of the forgiveness of sins,

not the actual forgiveness of sins.

baptism, a Christian goes underwater

and comes back up is like a picture

of when Jesus was buried and then rose from the dead

By the authority of a true New Testament Church

Baptism is a picture

of the death, burial and resurrection

when the professed Christian

is submerged completely in water

then raised out of the water

in the name of the Father,

and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

It is an ordinance for admission to the Church.

It is not a sacrement.

It does not save.

It does not wash away sin.
