About me:
Hi! My name is Vanessa and I am a 22 year old (as of video date) from Los Angeles, California! I am very invested in my faith and found a passion for teaching others about it. My passion all started out due to the fact I wanted to convert someone to Catholicism to make my life easier when it was time to get married. Long story short, that person did not convert, and I was then left with all this knowledge about the faith and about Church history and no where to put it. So now you have it! I want to educate as many people as I can on the faith, and help them understand the truth that Christ has revealed to us through the only, holy, catholic and apostolic Church he founded. I am on my journey to understand more. Everyday I work towards educating myself more and more. I will never hit the finish line of studying in this life, I will continue to learn everyday. With that being said, I may hit some bumps in the road... maybe I will get a few dates wrong... and maybe even pronounce some words wrong (even the English ones!). But I will not let my mistakes stop me, and I will keep striving to make God proud! Feel free to reach out to me via comment. I love and accept every comment regardless if you agree with me or not. I am very grounded in my faith that I do not worry about opposition. In fact, BRING IT ON. I'm just kidding with you all, but seriously, if you have anything to say, drop it in a comment down below. Hope you all have a God blessed day and rest of your week, and I look forward to seeing and hearing from you!

In your clip 7:55. Again. That is not biblical. You are teaching what is not in the Bible which is a big mistake. Deuteronomy 12:32 do not add or omit from the scripture.

[@Michael-fn2rc]

She's not adding to Scripture, merely quoting something outside of Scripture: one of the writings of an early Church Father(influential early Christian) interpreting Scripture. Nowhere in Scripture does it prohibit such a thing.

[@jennernolast6858]

tennis rocks I can show you a verse in the Bible that baptism are for those who have heard the teaching and accepted it. I can’t remember the verse but I know I read it. I research it for you. As for you saying that she’s not adding, she is using a quote not in the Bible. The one who said that is the one who added a gospel to justify baptism of kids or infants. Using a wrong quote is just as bad.

[@jennernolast6858]

tennis rocks Matthew 28. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Teaching them. Can you teach babies or infants?

[@urgentmessenger7115]

@@jennernolast6858 Well said! It warms my heart to see the truth being preached for enlightening those who are blind. You are very right and also Romans 6:8-11 explains that Baptist is for us to die unto sin and be reborn. So we decide to stop sinning and are born again without sin. Verse 12 says from there on, we are not to sin and we are to obey in the lusts thereof. So babies don't have any sin to give up, so they can't be reborn without consent.

[@jennernolast6858]

URGENT MESSENGER amen. Unfortunately, a lot of Catholics believe or say that if it’s not in the scripture, they are allowed to do it. I’ve heard it a thousand times. In this clip too. But as for baptism of infants, it’s very clear like what you have mentioned.

[@curiouslykristina]

Lol you said “let’s see if this argument holds any *water*” Love the pun

[@John_Fisher]

I have a coworker who's a former Presbyterian pastor and we often trade some of the most deliberately corny jokes/puns. One day when I referred to them as "dad jokes" he said "It's funny, in my church we always call them pastor jokes, because you use them as ice-breakers for your sermon." I was like "Well, hey, I'm Catholic, there's some overlap when it comes to dads/pastors."

[@curiouslykristina]

John Fisher hahahah I love it

[@remmingtonstewart9826]

The Answer is yes!

[@alwayscatholicknight7920]

i totally fully agree with you sir brother.

[@akimoetam1282]

Baptism is for everyone! Come! Be baptized for the forgiveness of sins!

[@curiouslykristina]

Yay another great video :)

[@yesheiscatholic5155]

Another reason why infant baptism should be done is that baptism is now used in place of circumcision as a covenant with Jesus. In Col. 2:11-12 Paul refers to baptism as “the circumcision of Christ” and “the circumcision made without hands.” During that time it only infants who were circumcised under the Old Law. If infants where not to be baptized why would St. Paul draw parallel with circumcision and baptism as he talks about a covenant.

[@jeffp6732]

Sounds like the Bible study leader is a protestant. Regardless, the problem I have with protestant denominations(all 30,000+)is that they do not take into consideration the history of the Church prior to Luthers heresy. Great video and great references. Keep up the good work of God.

Not to mention when the people of Israel were all baptized* 1cor 10,1-2 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea,a2and all of them were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

[@jennernolast6858]

41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Can an infant accept the message? They can’t. That’s why they did not get baptized. And infants have not sinned so there should be no forgiveness of sins. Babies and children’s baptism originated over 800 yrs ago about original sins (not biblical) and Catholics belief they if they die without being baptized, they go to limbo (again, not biblical). This was corrected by your pope around 1984 and the Catholics church declaration that the teaching of limbo in the church was an 800 yr old mistake.

[@alwayscatholicknight7920]

Iimbo is not taught any more never a offical teaching.

[@jennernolast6858]

Always Catholic Knight that’s correct. Not anymore. But it was taught for 800 yrs. we were misled for so long.

[@jennernolast6858]

Always Catholic Knight just an FYI. I still go to Catholic Church. But I don’t believe in some thing taught by the Catholic Church. I trust the Bible more (word of God) than all the priest, bishops even the pope.

[@urgentmessenger7115]

@@jennernolast6858 I'm a former catholic myself and have learned that there are many teachings from the catholic church that are misleading us and are not even part of scripture. I no longer go to church because I recently discovered that the church is not what people think. Acts 7:48 and 17:24 both say that God does not dwell in buildings made by man. The church is referred to as in the house of those mentioned in (Colossians 4:15, Philemon 1:2, Romans 16:5, 1 Corinthians 16:19 and Ephisians 1:22-23) The people gathered in their home, reading the word is the church. Matthew 18:20 Wherever two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them. That's why it's said that the apostle Paul destroyed the church by going house to house in Acts 8:3. I hope this helps. 🙏

[@jennernolast6858]

URGENT MESSENGER I agree again. Catholic Church is full of idols. Full of rituals that is not right. In the Bible, we are all brothers and sisters in the eyes of God. Father, is the name of God. Religiously speaking, priest shouldn’t be called Father, in some cases they say reverend father, and the pope, Most holy. You cannot use God’s name to address a person religiously. Outside a religion, you can call your father as father. But not religiously As far as going to church. I have to do it because my wife is Catholic. I’m still trying to teach her. I’m sure God understand. I’m still teaching her the truth in the Bible.

[@vceptx]

I believe you are sincerely incorrect and have not studied your bible. Here's some facts about the Catholic Church: Authority - the church has and will continue to change their position on faith as it is written in the Bible to suit their needs and to have complete control over your conscience (read the converts catechism of Catholic doctrine). Also the church claims the "authority" to change God's moral law although Deuteronomy 4:2 says God's law cannot be changed. The Catholic Church claims to have the "authority" to remove the 2nd commandment, rewrite the 4th commandment and break the 10th commandment into 2 parts. The following verse is speaking about Rome changing God's Law that is spoken about in the converts catechism. Daniel 7:25 25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Brothers and sisters, if your desire is to follow a system that clearly worships false idols and blaspheme God, then the Catholic Church is the beast power of revelation 13 and you will be receiving the Mark of the Beast very soon. Be not deceived. It is time to come out of Babylon. Your explanation of Matthew is incorrect. Peter's name means pebble(not rock). There is only 1 Rock and that is Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Rock 1 Corinthians 10:4 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. In no way did Jesus give Peter his authority. Read Matthew 16:22-24 22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. God gave nobody his seat or authority. If Jesus gave Peter authority then what was the need of the Holy Spirit? You are clearly misquoting the word of God and teaching others to follow the commandments of men rather than the commandments of God. God's word is very clear on sola scriptura: Isaiah 8:20 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. 2 Timothy 2:15 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The Bible does not need you to interpret the teachings. The Bible teaches otherwise. The Bible is it's own expositor. In other words, there is no need for a Pope or priest to interpret the Bible for you. 1 Peter 20:21 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

[@FaithfulServantsOfChrist]

Here is some scripture debunking infant baptism: Acts 8:35-38 - Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. (We can clearly see that the Eunuch couldn't get baptized until AFTER he believed in Jesus, babies are not capable of believing, the baptism is in vain if the person isn't believing).

[@jennernolast6858]

The people who were baptized in the scripture are the ones who heard the teachings and accepted it and Jesus Christ. The Who were baptized are the ones who asked forgives. Then they were born again (not the religion). So babies and infants doesn’t need to be born again. In Luke 18:15, Jesus said the kingdom of God is theirs. They don’t need to be baptized.

[@Michael-fn2rc]

This is false. Scripture interprets Scripture, does it not? John 3:3 Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Most protestants, like yourself, say being born again is merely believing on Jesus, but what does Scripture actually say about being born again or raised to the newness of life? Romans 6:4 For we are buried together with him by baptism into death; that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him up from the dead If we are raised into the newness of life(if this isn't describing being born again I would like you to point out what is) only after being buried with Him via Baptism, baptism is required for salvation as Scripture unequivocally states that one must be born again to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. The Catholic view is the most Scriptural and fits well with the unanimous opinion of the early Christians which believed baptism was required for salvation in the post- Apostolic age. If you claim my interpretation is wrong, who are you to do so? I interpreted Scripture with Scripture. In the end, as a Protestant, you have no way to prove my view wrong besides claimed I have misinterpreted Scripture, but who says you aren't the one doing so instead? You must appeal to an external source to "prove" me wrong and then you have abandoned sola scriptura, either way it doesn't look to good for you. Point being, I have shown from Scripture that being born again is baptism, whilst you have provided no Scripture passages or anything to back up the view that being born again is believing on Jesus.

[@jennernolast6858]

tennis rocks everything you said is true. I believe the same thing. But I don’t believe kids or infants specially babies a few days old needs baptism. Baptism of children who’s heart is innocent in the scriptures, like Jesus said, the kingdom of God is theirs. They won’t even be judged on judgment day. They do straight to heaven. Baptism biblically speaking are for ppl who heard the gospel, repented in their sins and living a Christian life. Hebrews 5:13. Read it. To what you have said in this chat, I totally agree with you.

@@jennernolast6858 Hello Mrs.nolast, a lot of scriptures were thrown at you but i don't think that you noticed the lie, *only a man* need to be born again, *children* are pure enough in heart to see GOD( Matthew 5:8). Again the kingdom of GOD belong to children regardless of the religion of their parents(Matthew 19:14). A man needs to change and become like a little child, not the opposite(Matthew 18:3) Jesus will live in you if you apply His commandments(John 15:5) and He will teach you the Truth, not precepts of men. The only things interesting in the bible are His words(found in Matt,Marc, Luke and John). Apply His commandments(forgive others, pray for enemies, bless those who curse, love your neighbor as yourself,...) and HE will reveal Himself to you(He will truly reveal Himself to you, not a joke). _Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and _*_reveal Myself to him_* John 14:21 Regards, A servant of Christ

[@jennernolast6858]

@Super dinner that’s what I was telling them. Children don’t need to be baptized. Only a man who have heard the gospel, accepted it, and repented for their sins are the only one who will be baptized. I keep asking them for the verse saying children are included but they can’t. They keep saying “entire household”. When the apostle was telling them “ I say unto all of you, repent and be baptized”. The apostles are clearly not talking to infants. Infants doesn’t know anything the apostles are saying. I hope they open their hearts and hopefully Hod give them the knowledge about the lies taught to them by the Catholic Church.
