DL, After making a wonderful point... why did you ruin it, with this slimy snake GIF?  :facepalm:

Because it's funny.

Trent was clear: baptism requires water.

Water is necessary for the Sacrament of Baptism.  No one doubts or denies that, so who cares?

However, a sacrament and the Grace thereof are two different things.  Homey said, "Re-read that last sentence."

For example, one may receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion, yet never receive the Grace thereof, due to interior obstacles.  One can actually receive said sacrament yet continually add to his eternal punishment.  Similarly, one may frequently receive the grace thereof without ever actually receiving the sacrament.

God, who created and sustains water, ins't bound by it when communicating His grace.  Yes, He has made rules for the normal communication thereof, but He may do as He pleases.  Why is that so hard to accept?

At least we all now know that milk, soda, etc., will not suffice.  That is a relief.

Does anyone following this thread believe ALL of the OT just were raised from the dead and Baptized?  I have heard some claim this and wonder what you think. Thank you

No one? Literally every traditionalist priest and bishop alive today believes that you can be saved without water baptism. Baptism of desire? Baptism of blood? Both are nonsense, yet everyone believes it. Hence why MHFM makes so many videos on that point.

Yes, why else would they rise from the dead?
