Yeah, that's not in line with Orthodox theology
Explain..
Theological autism is not my forte. All I know CI is we wuz kangz for anglos
Replacement theology is not specific to Baptism if you were to have that belief
What does that even mean
How does baptism factor into it
Well I see Baptist churches talk about it most, but you said it aint compatible with Orthodoxy
@Lieutenant Phys everyone who believes is God’s chosen people
Yup
That is essentialy Christian identity
whether Chinese, Europæan, MENA, or Subsaharan
We that believe in the lord are god's chosen people
We are __spiritually__ Israel
but what Christian Identity people tend to promote is ‘White people’ as God’s chosen people
Okay. Then why the autistic "Identity" cling-on?
my Christian identity was given to me in baptism
and my parents rejoiced
Reference for others
yeah, that’s not a religious tradition
then it’s not an affiliation
because affiliation has to do with sonship, from Latin *filius*
Whatever
it’s about the tradition in which you count yourself a son of the Church
Son of god you mean
We are god's children
both, as St Cyprian says and John Calvin also affirms
‘He can no longer have God for his Father, who has not the Church for his mother.’
What if the Church turns for the devil like what we see with Catholic churches, and eventually even deny Jesus as their messiah?
Would it even be a church anymore?
then it ceases to proclaim the word of God and administer the sacraments duly
such a diseased member is to be cut off
lest its gangrene take over the whole
but at all times ‘there is no health in us’ – that is, in ourselves
for Christ alone is the source of health
It's alike a plague when this gangrene grows from Church to Church turning into heresy more than god's truth and fact
God's word is to be followed
But those that misidentify his own rulebook and use it for their benefit in negative fashion I agree should be cut off
They are sinners, they go out of their way, breaking moral boundaries and spreading a type of toxic moral relatavist ideas that slowly kills Christianity as a whole.
so where, concretely, do you partake of Christ’s body?
