When did the first flood happened?
According to the Book of Genesis, the biblical Flood was approximately 1,656 years after the creation. This means that the Flood would have taken place about 2340 BCE.
On the other hand, it is hard to avoid the clear fact that other civilisations continued undisturbed right through the time attributed to the Flood and beyond. Furthermore, there is a total lack of scientific evidence for any flood as described in the Bible. Nor is there any rational explanation for where the water came from, or where it went after the Flood. The simple fact is, God did not flood the whole earth..
The Protestant Baptist Church were formed on many beliefs, both relevant and irrelevant to that of other protestant churches. The Baptist mainly separated on the belief that "good" or bad" deeds do not get people in or out of heaven. I, myself, being a baptist, are taught people receive salvation not through good actions, but a strong faith in Jesus Christ. By faith in Christ, individuals in advertantly are a better person, but the main focus is on Jesus, not how great people can make themselves look.
If you mean the difference that separated the and baptists from the other Christian religions was Infant baptism. There was a huge dispute on whether a baby needed to be baptized before reaching " the age of accountability"
What did Jesus do while he was dead?
He showed that he was resurrected from the dead and spoke about the Kingdom of God for 40 days.
Acts 1:3-
3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
After He was resurrected, he show the Apostles and many others Himself and told the Apostles and others to wait for the Gift promised
Do Baptists have Godparents at baptisms?
No. The Baptist church doesn't have infant baptism where the function of godparents is to speak for the child. As the person to be baptized in a Baptist church must be able to have decided for themselves on following Christ and receiving baptism, they don't have godparents to speak for them.
Who gives the Benediction in the Baptist church?
It depends on where the benediction is being offered but in most protestant churches anyone can.
Can you remarry in the Episcopal church?
In most baptist churches people can remarry after being divorced. Each church is governed by its congregation and can make this decision themselves but it is usually not a problem. The only divorce question I have known about in the baptist church is becoming a deacon.
What is the role of a Baptist minister?
Baptist pastors have a number of duties. They give a sermon every Sunday, but they also perform counseling and baptismal services. Additionally, they manage a variety of church projects, and serve on the church board of directors.
Who was John the Baptist's father?
Other answers from our community:
zacharia and elizibeth
His father was a priest named Zacharias, and his mother was a woman of Aaronic descent named Elizabeth. See Luke chapter one.
AnswerJohn the Baptist was the son of Elizabeth and Zacharias. They were both very old, and Elizabeth was barren. However Elizabeth became pregnant after a divine revelation to Zacharias. Zacharias was a priest at the temple and allowed the honor of burning the insence. It was then that God told him that his wife would give birth to a son. Zacharias did not believe that she would become pregnant and was not allowed to speak until the birth of John.

Can catholics attend a Lutheran church?
Yes. All worshippers are free to attend services in any church.
Updated response - Although it may be an acceptable truth that all worshipers are free to attend services in any church, the obligation for a Catholic is different.
Each Catholic shares an obligation to attend Catholic mass on Sunday - The Mass within the Catholic community is the catalyst to receiving Holy Communion, which to a Catholic is a Holy Sacrament. Mass or service at any other Church for any other denomination, though spiritual and holy in its own right, does not allow a Catholic participation in the Consecration of the Holy Eucharist or therefore Holy Communion. Although there is nothing ecumenically wrong for a Catholic to attend a non-Catholic mass, liturgically this obligation to attend mass would not be fulfilled.
Where did people go before Jesus died?
Assuming the question inquires about "death"... people have always gone to the same place: the grave -- before Jesus' death, afterward, and even after He rose from His grave.
Even those who "believed" in Christ and died... to this day are "asleep" [dead] in Him... waiting in their graves to be resurrected "first" upon His return.
"...the dead in Christ shall rise first..." (I Thess.4:16).
And the Bible tells us that the "spirits" of all men "return to God who gave it" [Eccle.12:7].
It doesn't mention any dispensation of different spirits going to different places as the result of some judgment, as so many false religions teach. The Bible reveals a "Judgment Day" coming at the end of God's thousand year rule that it calls the "Last Great Day" [John 7:37].
All dead people go to the same place; past, present and future until Jesus returns, despite false religious teachings: "...for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." (Gen.3:19)

What are some similarities and differences between Catholicism and the Baptist Church?
.
Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church was founded by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, on the Apostle Peter (see St. Matthew 16:17-19) with the guarantee that He would remain with it until the end of the world, and send the Holy Spirit to guide it into all truth. He then commissioned it to preach the Gospel to the entire world, and baptize them. Peter, and his successors, the Popes, have been doing this for twenty centuries now, and, according to God's sworn promise, will continue doing it until the end..
The Baptist ecclesial community was founded by John Smyth in Amsterdam in the early 17th century as he rejected the interpretation of the Bible that other protestants in the 16th century had given to the Bible. It has no priesthood, no sacraments (save Baptism), and no guarantees from God.
Typically, someone who is a member of a Baptist church. Baptists are a large, 400 year old protestant denomination descending from the Anglican Church and the Puritans in England. The largest group is called the Southern Baptist Convention(SBC). In the year 2000, the SBC adopted a Faith Statement that outlines their beliefs. It is available online. Three of their core beliefs are: 1.Inspiration,infallibilty and preservation of the scripture 2.Importance of a personal relationship with GOD 3. Salvation by grace through faith
Above all love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is to love your neighbor as yourself.
Jesus also commanded us to "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the very end of the age."
Also read 1 Corinthians 12. Fellowship with other believers and pray and read your Bible. Don't be afraid to let God use you but let Him do it in His own time just be availible. Use good discernment but be judgemental people. God loves you or He wouldn't have sent His Son to die for you!
Need a biblical theme for women's day?
I would consider three different topics.
Mary and Martha and their relationship with Jesus. Mary was one that appreciated the love and compassion of Jesus while Martha was one that saw the need for work. A blend of the two is the ideal.
Ruth and Naomi and their relationship to each other as dedicated companions.
Lydia, the seller of purple that led a church because there was no one else available.
How many ordinances are there in a Baptist church?
Two, baptism and communion (commonly referred to as the Lord's Supper.) Both are seen as ordinances, not sacraments. Baptism is for professing believers, not infants. It is nearly always a one time event and by immersion.
Communion can be either "open" or "closed", depending on the particular church. Open simply means that the communion, when observed, is available to all who have experienced 'believer's baptism", closed communion is limited to that church's congregation.
Does a Baptist church have monks and nuns?
no, celibate religious persons ( monks, unmarried priests, and as you mentioned Nuns, are rare-to-non-existant in most Protestant denominations. Luther was not only opposed to celibacy ( he married an ex-Nun- Katharine Von Bora)- but also chauvinistic as , well a Foreign Legionaire would be- he followed the Paulist track that women should not take any active role in the management of the church- apart from well, child care, singing hymns, etc. This ruled out female religious as Catholics know them. ( it is rare to find a Lutheran church named after a female saint). There are nuns and monks- which evolve into celibate priests- in the Anglo-Catholic branch of Episcopal Church, in the US, among the men- they are known as the Cowley Fathers. In a Cowley monastery rectory- there are eight breviary officers who are in charge. These men have specific responsibilities. There are also Episcopal Nuns- again rare. Not any in Lutheranism or the Baptist faith. There are Deaconesses who are involved in charitable deeds- such as nursing, in Lutheran Homes and Hospitals for example, but they are categorically NOT NUNS.
What is the title of the leader of a baptist church?
Jesus Christ. Really. There is no Pope-like figure of all Baptists. This is because of the teachings of the Bible, such as the Priesthood of all believers and a direct releationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ the Son.
Why baptist are called baptist?
Baptists get their name from their belief that it is an important thing to be baptized. They believe that being baptized DOES NOT make you a Christian, but displays your beliefs as a Christian to other members in the church.
What do Buddhists have in common with Baptists?
These are two entirely different categories, so it is difficult to say what they do and do not have in common. Buddhism is a religion (arguably), and Egyptians are people who are born and live in the country of Egypt.
Does baptist churches have bishops?
Yes the Methodist Church has Bishops. They are responsible for a jurisdiction, which is composed of several districts.
