Pero eso no significa que son Bíblicos. Siempre deberíamos medir nuestras prácticas y tradiciones con las Escrituras. Cuando una tradición/práctica empieza a obstaculizar el avance del Reino--como en el caso del bautismo--entonces esa práctica necesita ser revisado. Si no lo hacemos entonces hemos hecho lo que la Iglesia Católica hace y elevar las tradiciones a la misma altura que la Palabra de Dios. <br /><br />Gracias por tus observaciones.

El Evangelio de San Lucas está repleto de enseñanzas radicales de nuestro Señor y Salvador Jesús. Nos toca ponerlas en práctica, vivirlas, y enseñarlas a otros en vez de enseñar nuestras tradiciones.

Lo que nosotros vemos es que si alguién viene a Cristo arrepentido, nuestro deber es bautizarlo. Los "frutos de arrepentimiento" deberían seguir el bautizmo. Pero muchos creen que primero son los frutos de arrepentimiento y despúes le damos el premio al bautizarlos por su cumplimiento. El úncio problema es que no hay base Bíblica para esta práctica. Es otra de nuestras tradiciones que hemos elevado al par con las Sagradas Escrituras.J.

In a sense I can understand where these guys were coming from in trying to keep heresy under control, but once the Canon of Scripture was broadly accepted, instead of these traditions and teachings being corrected, they have been passed down to this very day.J.

I've written a few posts about it, but I thought you might enjoy this one post called "<a href="http://www.alanknox.net/2008/10/following-ignatius/" rel="nofollow">Following Ignatius.</a>"<br /><br />By the way, did you know that it was another 100 years (as far as extant writings are concerned) before someone else agreed with Ignatius about the bishop/presbyters/deacons hierarchy?<br /><br />-AlanAlan Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452247058550736803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23191203.post-21776342278556229132011-01-24T18:04:21.614-05:002011-01-24T18:04:21.614-05:00Guy, another excellent post. Vance Havner is "...Guy, another excellent post. Vance Havner is "a hoot". Keep up the good work!<br /><br />On a separate note, have your discipleship materials been translated into English? I would be curious to see at least an outline of the discipleship topics you cover in your equipping & training. And if plagiarism isn't a "mortal sin" we may even do that, too!Rising River Mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315907689353229084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23191203.post-39088334769259803812011-01-24T17:59:51.783-05:002011-01-24T17:59:51.783-05:00Thanks for helping connect some of the dots as to ...Thanks for helping connect some of the dots as to why we do what we do.<br /><br />God bless!Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01266729238990589293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23191203.post-89702366397792976382011-01-24T16:45:55.831-05:002011-01-24T16:45:55.831-05:00Guy,
