POPSJewish thoughts on post-death baptism by Mormons For the record (again, as I've said this before): I hereby and forever prohibit my heirs, descendants, or anybody else from converting me to another religion after my death. If I haven't figured it out by the time I shuffle off this mortal coil, that's too bad for me, and I'd better prepare for another go-round on this karmic merry-go-round we call life.

POPS Saving America From Obama of the US Communist Party, unrepentant former Weather Underground terrorists, and a minister who preaches anti-Americanism. The head of the Black Muslim movement, Louis Farrakhan, recently declared him to be the “messiah.” We have learned too of his association with the Association of Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) initially as a “community organizer”, but ACORN is now revealed to have profited greatly from the Democrat programs that required banks and mortgage firms to make loans to the poor. It has led to the present financial crisis. ACORN is being investigated for massive voter registration abuses. Obama was closely associated with Antoine “Tony” Rezko, a convicted Chicago real estate developer who was a major political contributor. One would think that what we already know about Obama would be sufficient to dismiss him as a serious candidate for the presidency of the United States, but I am just as concerned about what we don’t know.

POPSMore AP "Messiah" subliminal messages? It's really getting silly....except that very few Americans are Biblically literate anymore. Or maybe the press is just looking for these kinds of photo-ops to make the impression.

POPSBaptism By God There is only one baptism that counts today. That is baptism by the Holy Spirit. Any other type of baptism today is simply an outward expression of the true baptism that takes place in a believer that has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. This regeneration occurs for a person when they come to saving faith in Jesus and what Jesus did for all sinners on the cross. Jesus took away the sins of the world, so that anyone that believes in Jesus and his finished work of taking their personal sins, is born again of the Spirit of God. Prior to believing, a person is dead in their sins, because they did not believe. But, when a person repents of their unbelief, Jesus comes to live within that person and gives them eternal life. This is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit; giving life to the dead, becoming born again in the spirit.

POPSMuslim scholar denounces public baptism I'm still trying to figure out why it's okay for Western celebrities raised as Christians to publicly announce their conversions and name changes, but it's a crime for a Muslim celebrity to convert to Christianity in a public way.

POPSCONAN Series 1 One hero towers above all others in the Hyborian world. Black-haired, sullen-eyed, with gigantic melancholies, this is Conan. Barbarian, thief, pirate, raider, mercenary, hero --- but above all, a Cimmerian! The son of a village blacksmith in the grim gray hills of Cimmeria, Conan honed his strength and prowess by hunting the wild mountain beasts and competing with the other boys in his tribe. At age 15, already standing 6 feet and weighing 180 pounds though still not fully grown, Conan received his baptism of battle as part of a host of Cimmerian clans that attacked the garrison settlement of Venarium, an Aquilonian outpost encroaching on Cimmerian lands.

POPSThe Church must be one St. Cyprian (c. 250AD) - "God is one and Christ in one, and one is His Church, and the faith is one, and His people welded together by the glue of concord into a solid unity of body. Unity cannot be rent asunder, nor can the one body of the Church, through the division of its structure, be divided into separate pieces." (On the Unity of the Church, 23) Tertullian (c. 197AD) - "We are a society with a single religious feeling, a single unity of discipline, a single bond of hope," (Apology 39, 1) St. Hilary (c. 4th century) - "In the Scriptures our people are shown to be made one, so that just as many grains collected into one and ground and mingled together, make one loaf, so in Christ, who is the heavenly bread, we know there is one holy, in which our whole company is joined and united" (Treatise 62, 13)

POPSScriptures about Tongues Pt 1 This is just some scriptures on 'tongues'. I'm hoping there are some Catholics and Protestants both, who don't believe in 'tongues', out there that will read this. It's destined to change your mind! If it doesn't, that's ok. Just tear out the pages of the bible these verses are on and your bible will be synced up with your beliefs!

POPSIf "Christians" were Christian I suppose their memory spans must be short, indeed, if they've forgotten last night's evening news of this morning's newspaper. I saw a booth for the local Republican party at our county fair, and they had a big sign, front & center that read: "PROTECT NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY".

POPSConveluded Pope: Either Evil or Dillusional Sandro Tuxa, leader of a coalition of Indian tribes in Brazil's impoverished northeast, declared: "We repudiate the Pope's comments. To say the cultural decimation of our people represents a purification is offensive, and frankly, frightening" Murdering 89% of a population is ungodly. For the Pontiff to ignore that is also ungodly. Now consider what's frightening. "the precious treasure of the Catholic Church in Latin America, and must be protected, promoted and, when necessary, PURIFIED." What does he mean by purified? In light of the context, that sounds like a threat. Your thoughts and pops are welcome.
