That is a good point! The ever diminishing numbers at RCI over the new year break, those who did not attend the 'swamp' in Melbourne, had the chance to quietly slip away - it is not as if they will be noticed until a few months have gone bye! Any baptism must be realistically met with a double amount of loss in numbers. Let's hope more folk come to their senses! And we will be there for them when they do finally realize the 'pup' they have been sold. Keep up the good work, Regards Mr K |

Re:Box Hill Baptism Register 2010 Date Posted:25/01/2010 11:28 PMCopy HTML Good morning, Paul.
For a truly eye-opening look at the state of "diminishing returns" experienced by the various Revivalist sects in Australia over the past two decades, I'd recommend that you visit a university library and access the digested census data produced by the ABS. To suggest that the RCI, the RF and the GRC is in serious decline would be quite the understatement! Simply put, the very few "baptisms" that these groups experience in no way, shape or form offsets the significant exodus that takes place from them each and every year! Anecdotally, most of the RCI and RF assemblies that I've visited throughout Australia have had less people in attendance than a number of informal church "home groups" and "Bible study groups" that I've been involved with! And the RCI and RF have less people in fellowship in the countries of Great Britain and the USA, for example, than attend my local church! And that in spite of them being "established works"! Incidentally, I made a similar study of the New Zealand data a few years ago. Guess what was the outcome? Blessings, Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

A genuine, long time witnessed to, thrilled convert ! Maybe time to get back out there preaching Gods word yourself and experience the joy of seeing someone find Truth in this cynical old world. |

Re:Box Hill Baptism Register 2010 Date Posted:27/01/2010 3:02 AMCopy HTML Hello Ruth Boaz,
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated, and welcome to the forum. Please don't assume that we are not preaching God's word and seeing great results, as far as evangelism goes, we are having plenty of baptisms in the churches I frequent, and that is not confined to any age group, we are seeing converts of all ages not only coming to faith, but also in growing in maturity in Christ. At my last vestry meeting we were all amazed at the sheer growth we have had in the last 12 months, almost a doubling of congregation, and much more expected throughout the year. We also see a lot of the benefit of "preaching the gospel without words". I am seeing an amazing working of His Spirit working in the community, and the Church, I think there is not much time to be cynical! |

Preaching God's Word? Is that what you think the RCI does? I put it to you that it's more accurate to suggest that your chosen fellowship preaches the Word of the Lloyd rather than the Word of the Lord. Blessings, Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

I think with this issue, homophony is the key: it's not so much the case that the young lass/lad "received" at Camp, more so that s/he was "deceived" at Camp Blessings, Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

Re:Box Hill Baptism Register 2010 Date Posted:14/07/2010 6:41 AMCopy HTML And how many young folk have left recently?, I'm told that quite a number have moved on after becoming disillusioned. Richmond AOG isn't a bad spot for them to recover in, there are plenty of youngies and things to do. They look after the young folk there. It served us for a while.

Re:Box Hill Baptism Register 2010 Date Posted:05/11/2010 12:17 PMCopy HTML Ahh Mole but how many have left ?? Im hearing Bridge Street (former Richmond AOG), Has become a haven for many many ex-rciers, I know personaly of a few familys double dipping for a while and trying the waters in both camps until a decision is made, including many who have reciently left, and have found solice there. Personaly we are not involved there, due to the distance in travel, but we have many friends who are and have heard good reports. Personaly one tends to shy away from ex-rciers now due to all baggage that comes with them, having spent the last 4 years dealing with our own. And believe it or not this site and reading what many have written has helped;

Well, there was a baptism less than 48 hours ago at a house meeting. By the way, that was a Christian full immersion baptism of a believer with the expectation that he would receive the Holy Spirit, not an Ianist infant christening. Well, given that you've identified what took place was an RCI 'baptism', you can rest assured that it doesn't count for Christian baptism. What took place at your gathering was a public bath with clothes on. By the way, I think you need to refresh yourself on your own sect's teaching. You stated, above, that the person in the bath was a 'believer', who expected to 'receive' the Holy Spirit. According to what your sect promotes, 'no tongues = no Holy Spirit = not a believer'.

Hi Sarius: Might I enquire why you call yourself "Sardius" Also you made reference to infant sprinkling as "Ianist" Is that because Ian thinks that the sprinkling ritual is actually baptism? Please explain mj |

Re:Box Hill Baptism Register 2010 Date Posted:03/12/2010 1:06 AMCopy HTML Jingles,
I'll respond to this one. 'Sardius' has adopted his n-d-p from the KJV's translation of one of the stones in the High Priest's breastplate, so I guess he believes his opinions are imbued with some sort of 'godly' authority. Second, given that I fully accept sprinkling as a right and proper mode of Christian baptism, he's apparently chosen to 'name' the practice after me. I should be surprised at his level of ignorance, but as he's a Revivalist, I'm not. Sprinkling is an accepted mode of baptism for the overwhelming (a pun) majority of the world's Christians, and has been since 'forever'. Now how are you getting on with squaring your silly allegations about the Roman Catholic Church against the facts? Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

Re:Box Hill Baptism Register 2010 Date Posted:03/12/2010 3:17 PMCopy HTML Ianism is clearly founded on practices which are not found anywhere in the Bible. Sprinkling is not baptism, and nowhere at all is it ever applied to (as yet) unable to believe infants.
The pompous twit fool of a major claims that such practices are acceptable in the church. Well, maybe, but what he completely overlooks is that what counts at the end of the day is what the Lord accepts, and He has given us clear, precise instructions which in no way relate to the false heresy of Ianism. |

Re:Box Hill Baptism Register 2010 Date Posted:10/10/2011 11:55 PMCopy HTML Good morning, Guest.
It might pay to review the latest census data when it becomes available. I've been an interested observer of such material for the past 20-odd years, and the simple fact is the RCI has been in serious decline since at least the "Great Schism of '95"; more people are exiting the door than are entering by way of it. For what it's worth the Australian branches of the Jehovah's Witnesses baptise more people each year than does the RCI worldwide, and the Sydney Anglican Diocese experiences considerably more healings. Most tellingly of all from my perspective is that noone is being saved because of the RCI. Those who become Christian whilst in the fellowship, do so despite the misguided efforts of the organisation itself. Blessings, Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

hi ian i have been in two of revivals i am not in any more just wanted to ask you does a person have to be baptised to be saved would be greatful for your reply thanks. The short answer is, 'no', baptism is not necessary in order to be saved. Baptism is one aspect of Christian discipleship; in other words, it follows salvation rather than salvation following it :) Blessings, Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com

Once more the wolf speaks from his backside and not according to the Word of God. How very cryptic. As it is I addressed this very matter in another thread, replete with biblical references, and so saw no need to revisit the detail afresh here. But, given that you believe me to be wrong, why don't you have a crack at demonstrating where, why, and how? You might like to use the following as your point of departure http://forum1.aimoo.com/revival/Please-Consider-An-examination-of-Revivalist-teachings-and-doctrines/Baptism-in-Water-Ian-Thomason-1-1020829.html I will probably enjoy this conversation, that is if you have the 'agates' to engage ;) Ian email: didaktikon@gmail.com
