Along with its importance they also go further by promoting the believer’s baptism over infant baptism. They begin by attacking the Christian claim found among many that baptism is a trivial issue.

Being able to give an answer to everyone who asks is known as apologetics, which means to “give an answer.” 1{Hindson, Caner, 28} Paul said in 1 Peter 3:15 “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” (NIV). Peter does not simply suggest that we be prepared, but he compels us to be prepared always.

3. Note that Lewis says that „Theology is practical‟. In what ways does Lewis see the theology of the Trinity as practical for the Christian life? That is, what difference would it really make (for Christians or for anyone else) if Jesus was fully God, or not? I think that it would change the perspective in the case that god sent is son on earth to do the things for us the people and if it was god who was doing this instead of his son, it would definitely change the way Christians think about who god is and what he was really about like Lewis talks about the man and a statue just because god sent his son to teach us different things that does not mean they are the same, but if it were god the whole time Christians would not know what to think about Christianity and the teachings from Jesus I think it would change their whole perspective on

And example was given by Bill Fay when he came across a young man that he was witnessing to concerning turn his life over to Christ, so Bill Fay referred to the scriptures and ask him to read what it said, after reading Bill ask what does it say, but the demons in the man did not want him to acknowledge the word of God. Bill asked the young man to read it many more time before the power through the scripture broke him away from the demons and into the arms of God.

Choose whatever feels comfortable as long as the name of Jesus is included. Usually one begins with 10 or 15 minutes and may add additional time as the practice deepens. When distractions come (and they will), simply and gently turn your mind back to Christ by repeating your prayer. The Jesus prayer can be used when one is alone or in a group, in the car or on a walk, absolutely any and everywhere. If you want to read more about the Jesus prayer, one classic called The Way of a Pilgrim is a good introduction.
