Apostolic Succession

That's what I believe.

Romans 10:9 (NIV):

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

No it isn't. There are people who don't believe in Easter who believe in the resurrection.

You are a very confused person, Kid.

Easter = resurrection of our Lord.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter

Easter (Old English: Ēostre) or Pascha (Greek: Πάσχα, Paskha; Aramaic: פַּסחא Pasḥa; from Hebrew: פֶּסַח Pesaḥ)[1] is a Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary as described in the New Testament.

I am quite sure that you are confusing the English name of Easter, which was indeed derived from an old Pagan name, as making the holiday pagan in its entirety. If it helps, you can call it Pascha (derived from the Hebrew word for Passover), as the rest of the world does.

I've never heard of them, but you have my interest. Do you have a source? I was refering to people who believe in the resurrection though.

If they believe in the resurrection but don't believe in Easter (Pascha) then they are misguided and in error.

According to you, however you are not Lord of the Resurrection.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You are perfectly willing to call someone in error, but recoil when others do the same.

Obviously there's nothing wrong with stating your opinion and even making an argument for it, but when you start saying ridiculous things like people don't believe what they say they believe you cross the line.

You can call something a duck if you want, but when it's actually a goose, I'll call you on it.

You don't have any authority to tell me what I believe or ability to know.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Apparently no one does, no matter how wrong you may be

[Kidlicious]

Well of course no one can tell me what I believe. But no one can tell you that you don't know what other people believe.

I'm splitting my sides at that one. My, you're always good value, even if inadvertently.

The rain falls on everyone.
