The new Lone Ranger movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and I have found others on the Internet who agree with me. I have been sorely frustrated by the lack of discussion about the movie that doesn't involve the bad reviews or questionable box office. The trolls are the reason I avoid posting at the IMDb. I've started my own discussion group at another website, if you are interested. http://www.universalstop.com/hubs/forum/filmmaking/topic/positive-discussion-about-the-lone-ranger Discussion about the box office or reviews is unwanted. It's for topics such as characters, scenes, actors, allusions, licensed merchandise, symbolism, etc.--the stuff people used to talk about when it came to movies! I know the website's name is unusual. It is a group for people's hobbies of any kind, and I belonged to the group long before the movie ever came out. Mary
Are infants proper candidates for baptism? Do babies meet the requirements to be baptized? The short answer is no.
Acts 8:26-40 ....36 As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized? 37 [And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."]
Unlike the Ethiopian eunuch; babies cannot believe with all their heart. Infants cannot make the confession, that Jesus is the Christ and the Son of God. Babies do meet the requirements for water baptism.
DAY OF PENTECOST
Acts 2:22-37 Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?"
There were no infants baptized on the Day of Pentecost. Why not?
1. They could not believe in Jesus the Nazarene. 2. Infants could not believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. 3. Babies could not realize that God made Jesus both Lord and Christ. 4. Infants could not be pierced to the heart, nor could they ask, " Brethren, what shall we do?"
Acts 2:38 Peter said to them,"Repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Infants do not need to repent; because they have no sin to repent from. Repentance means to turn from sin and turn toward God. Infants are not candidates for water baptism.
Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.
There were no infants added to the church that day. Why not? Because babies could not receive Peter's word. Infants are not capable of understanding the gospel. Infants are not qualified to be baptized in water.
THE JAILER AND HIS HOUSEHOLD SAVED
Acts 16:31-34 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.....33.....and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. 34 ....having believed in God with his whole household.
The jailer and his whole household believed before they were baptized. There were no babies baptized. Infants are not capable of believing. Infants are not qualified to be baptized.
THERE IS NO BIBLICAL RECORD OF ANY CHRISTIAN THAT WAS BAPTIZED BEFORE THEY BELIEVED.
INFANTS CANNOT BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST. THEY ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO BE IMMERSED IN WATER.

this new movie with johnny depp, was ok, but I didn't care to much for it. the original lone ranger with clayton moore was the best ever.
WATER BAPTISM, DO INFANTS QUALIFY?
