I am a web application developer working in PHP/MySQL/JQuery and related technologies. I also have attended two years of seminary. I am puritan in my theology and would point to the Westminster Standards as a good guide for theological questions.

May 9	comment	Is it valid to use grape juice at Communion? @Jay it is not just a cup but "this" cup. That is the point here.
May 8	comment	Which Bible verses support adult-only baptism? No problem @Eric.
May 8	comment	Which Bible verses support adult-only baptism? Like your response. As a paedo-baptist I would look to the household baptisms and especially the household circumcisions of the OT and say that all in the household should be baptized, unless they specifically resist.
May 8	comment	Which Bible verses support adult-only baptism? Like your answer @Eric, much of what I have heard in the past. However you have not answered all of my question.
May 8	comment	Is it valid to use grape juice at Communion? @Flimzy Sorry, one more here. I see your point, but the question is what did he make meaningful, Pepsi?
May 8	comment	Is it valid to use grape juice at Communion? @Jay also, if you look at Paul's exhortation and instruction to the Corinthian church he mentions nothing except the bread and the cup. That is why we consider those of more importance than other elements.
May 8	comment	Is it valid to use grape juice at Communion? @Jay The example in scripture is of the early church breaking 'The Bread' from house to house. So clearly the authoritative practice of the church recorded in scripture is to not hold communion only on passover, that is why you have not heard Christians calling for that practice. :-)
May 8	comment	Is it valid to use grape juice at Communion? @Flimzy I think that if you take that as your use of scripture then you can end up wherever you like. Dangerous. Also do you really think that Pepsi is an accurate representation of Christ's blood? Again, not our meal but His meal. Not just any meal but the passover with Christ as our Pascal lamb 1 Cor 5:7.
May 8	answered	Is the threat of exposing sin a disqualifying event for a pastor?
May 8	comment	Is the threat of exposing sin a disqualifying event for a pastor? I don't believe that the threat withdrawn is a problem, it may be that this could be construed as a gracious act, maybe the other elder had a change of heard over the severity of the issue.
May 8	comment	Is it valid to use grape juice at Communion? I voted your answer correct with one proviso. I do believe that your desert example is not accurate. Just like David longed for the temple, the person in the desert could long to partake of the Lord's table.
May 8	comment	Is it valid to use grape juice at Communion? @Flimzy It seems to me that the point here is that we don't get to make up our own rules. We are keeping His feast, not our own. The question is asking whether it is biblical to use grape juice. I do not believe that beer (as great as it is) or Pepsi are valid in communion. We see in scripture the term 'fruit of the vine' in relation to communion and I believe that sets the standard.
May 8	comment	Is it valid to use grape juice at Communion? @DanAndrews it would have been a craft brew I am sure!
May 8	asked	What is the Biblical basis for 'term eldership'?
May 8	comment	Which Bible verses support adult-only baptism? Okay I have updated and expanded the question a lot. I am amazed that not one baptist has jumped on here to posit an answer in a whole day...
May 8	revised	Which Bible verses support adult-only baptism? Added significantly to the text of the question.
May 8	comment	Which Bible verses support adult-only baptism? @Matt What I really mean is credo baptism. Baptism on credible confession of faith only which is technically the baptist position as far as I have ever been told. I am going to update the question to reflect this.
May 8	comment	Which Bible verses support adult-only baptism? @BrandonBoone exactly the opposite question as to the infant baptism one.
May 8	awarded	Analytical
May 8	comment	Which Bible verses support adult-only baptism? I suppose it does not matter. But I would like to hear from someone who can cogently defend their personal convictions on the matter. I normally totally stump the people I talk to - I want better arguments, more thorough arguments.
