Re: Salvation for the deaf and mute?: Say it ain't
We had some deaf and dumb people visiting our church and in sign language they told the teacher they felt something moving in their heart...I thought this was so precious as they are all Catholic by religion.
God know the abilities and disabilities of every one of us.
I do remember when I was growing up one night at Brother Holme's church they baptized a deaf and dumb couple and they both spoke loudly in a distint tongue coming up out of the water...
I don't say this will happen every time but that was something I have never forgotten.
I do think the Lord knows our heart and mind and if a tongue is loosed He must do it...
I do not judge...I learned long ago to leave the unknown in the hands of the Lord.
Love you folks.

I thought about the picture of Jesus knocking at a door without a door knob. Someone asked why..the painter said, "who lives inside must open the door..."

My dear brother,
When we are weak, He is strong. Throughout the New Testament no one is ever condemned for not having the ability to speak. If God allowed an individual to not be able to speak, He would not condemn that person for something that he does not have. Just like we all would agree if a little baby dies before it believes and it is baptized that it will not go to hell. If one does think that way then he or she is edging closer and closer to the Catholic doctrine of imparted portions of grace that come only through the sacrements of the church. We are called to surrender to him as LORD and Christ.
Now I believe that God could fill a mute person with the Holy Ghost and they will speak in tongues. God could also heal that person, and then we would avoid this whole conversation.

No real problem exists over the use of "The Name" in everthing else done in the Church. Why then should there exist great controversy over the use of the "The Name of the Godhead" in water baptism?
