Umba oza kuvavanywa

Ngenxa yesiphelo sifike kwinxalenye yokuqala neyesibini kolu ngcelele, ekukuba amazwi kaMateyu 28:19 kufuneka abuyiselwe "nibabhaptize egameni lam ”, ngoku siza kuvavanya ukubhaptizwa kobuKristu ngokomxholo weWatchtower Bible and Tract Society, ekukholelwa ukuba ngumbutho kaYehova emhlabeni ngamaNgqina kaYehova.

Kufuneka siqale sihlolisise imbali yemibuzo yobhaptizo esetyenziswe nguMbutho ukusukela oko wasekwayo.

Imibuzo yokuBhaptizwa yoMbutho ukusukela ngo-1870

Imibuzo yobhaptizo 1913

Emuva ngexesha lika-Bro CT Russell, imibuzo yobhaptizo nobhaptizo yayahluke kakhulu kwimeko yangoku yemicimbi. Qaphela le ncwadi ilandelayo “Wathini uPastor Russell” iphepha 35-36[i] uthi:

“UBHAPTIZO-Imibuzo Ebuzwa Abaviwa Umbuzo: 35: UMBUZO (3-Z) –1913 – Yeyiphi imibuzo edla ngokubuzwa nguMzalwana uRussell xa kusamkelwa abantu abaza kungena emanzini? IMPENDULO. – Uya kuqaphela ukuba bakwimigca ebanzi – imibuzo apho nawuphi na umKristu, nokuba uvuma ntoni na, kufuneka akwazi ukuyiphendula ngaphandle kokuthandabuza ukuba ukulungele na ukwamkelwa njengelungu leCawa likaKrestu: {Iphepha Q3}

 (1) Ngaba uguqukile esonweni ngembuyekezo kangangoko unako, kwaye uyathembela kwisidima sikaKristu sokuxolelwa kwezono zakho kunye nesiseko sokugwetyelwa kwakho?

 (2) Ngaba uzinikele ngokupheleleyo ngawo onke amagunya onawo- italente, imali, ixesha, impembelelo- kuyo yonke iNkosi, ukuze isetyenziswe ngokuthembekileyo kwinkonzo yayo, nasekufeni?

 (3) Ngokwezi zinto sizivumayo, siyakwamkela njengelungu leNdlu yoKholo, kwaye sikunika isandla sokunene sobudlelane, hayi ngegama lalo naliphi na iqela okanye iqela okanye isivumo sokholo, kodwa egameni kaMhlawuleli, iNkosi yethu ezukisiweyo, kunye nabalandeli Bayo abathembekileyo. ”

Kwakunjalo ukuba umntu owayesele ebhaptiziwe kwenye inkolo yobuKrestu akazange abuzwe ukuba abhaptizwe kwakhona, kuba olo bhaptizo lwangaphambili lwamkelwa lwamkelwa njengolusemthethweni

Nangona kunjalo, ngokuhamba kwexesha imibuzo yobhaptizo kunye neemfuno zatshintshile.

Imibuzo yobhaptizo: 1945, Februwari 1, IMboniselo (p44)

Kwaye kude kube ubuncinci ngo-1955 kwakungekabikho mfuneko yokuba abhaptizwe ukuze abe ngomnye wamaNgqina kaYehova ukuba wayekhe wabhaptizwa ngaphambili kwiNgqobhoko, nangona ezinye iimfuno ngoku zazinanyathiselwe koku.

"²⁰ Omnye umntu unokuthi, ndabhaptizwa, ndantywiliselwa okanye nditshizwa okanye ndagalelwa amanzi ngaphambili, kodwa ndandingazi nto ngokubaluleka kwako njengoko kuqulethwe kule mibuzo ingasentla nakwingxoxo eyandulelayo. Ndifanele ukubhaptizwa kwakhona? Kwimeko enjalo, impendulo ngu-Ewe, ukuba, ukusukela ekufumaneni ulwazi lwenyaniso, uzinikele ekwenzeni ukuthanda kukaYehova, kwaye ukuba wawungekazinikeli ngaphambili, kwaye ukuba ubhaptizo lwangaphambili lwalungekho uphawu lokuzinikezela. Nangona umntu esazi ukuba wazinikezela kwixa elidlulileyo, ukuba wafafazwa kuphela okanye wagalelwa amanzi kumsitho othile wenkolo, akazange abhaptizwe kwaye kusafanele enze uphawu lobhaptizo lobuKristu phambi kwamangqina ubungqina bokuzinikezela kwakhe. ”.

Iingxaki ezivelayo

Uyakuqaphela utshintsho olwenzeka ngokuthe ngcembe kumagama kunye nokugxininiswa kwimibuzo yobhaptizo ukuze ukusukela ngo-1985, uMbutho ubandakanyiwe kwizifungo zobhaptizo kwaye ezona zibhambathiso zamva nje zika-2019 zilahla uMoya oyiNgcwele. Kwakhona, uYesu Krestu akasabandakanyeki ekutyhileni intando kaThixo (njengakwimibuzo yowe-1973) ukusukela kwimibuzo yowe-1985 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Kunokutshiwo njani ukuba oku kubhaptiza egameni likaYesu, xa kugxininiswa kuYehova nakwintlangano yakhe (yasemhlabeni)?

Izigqibo:

• Umbutho othi ulandela iBhayibhile ngokusondeleyo, ubhaptizo lwawo alulandeli isithethe sobathathu Emnye uMateyu 28:19, ngo-2019, umoya oyingcwele awukhankanywa.
• Umbutho awulandeli inkqubo yoqobo ebhaliweyo "egameni lam" / "egameni likaYesu" njengoko kugxininiswa kuYehova noYesu njengolandela.
• Ukusukela ngo-1985 imibuzo yobhaptizo ikwenza ube lilungu le Umbutho kunokuba ngumlandeli okanye umfundi kaKristu.
• Ngaba yayiyiloo nto uYesu awayecinga ngayo xa wayeyalela abafundi kuMateyu 28:19? Ngokuqinisekileyo AKUKHO!

NguNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha

Ngexesha lophando lwamalungu angaphambili kolu ngcelele, umbhali wafumanisa ukuba umbhalo wantlandlolo kaMateyu 28:19 wawusithi “nibabhaptize egameni lam ” okanye “nibabhaptiza egameni likaYesu”. Oku kuphakamisa umbuzo wokuba kutheni uMbutho ungakhange uhlaziye uMateyu 28:19 xa uguqulela iNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha. Oku kubaluleke ngakumbi, kuba "bakulungisile" ukufundwa kwenguqulelo apho babona kufanelekile. Ikomiti yokuguqulela ye-NWT yenze izinto ezinje ngokufaka "Nkosi" endaweni ka "Yehova", ishiya imiqolo ngoku eyaziwa ngokungachanekanga, njl.njl. Kuyamangalisa ngakumbi oko kufundwa kwesiqhelo kukaMateyu 28:19 njengakwi-NWT kunika ayixhasi kwaphela imfundiso kaBathathu Emnye.

Nangona kunjalo, ukujonga nje imeko yemibuzo yobhaptizo ngokuhamba kwexesha kunika isikhokelo esomeleleyo sokuba akukho sizathu senziweyo kuMateyu 28:19. Emuva ngexesha likaBro Russell, kwakugxininiswa ngakumbi kuYesu. Nangona kunjalo, ngakumbi ukusukela ngo-1945, oku kuye kwafudukela kugxininiso olomeleleyo kuYehova ngendima kaYesu ngokuthe ngcembe iyancitshiswa. Kukho ithuba elinamandla kakhulu, ke ngoko, lokuba ikomiti yokuguqulela ye-NWT ayenzi nzame zokulungisa uMateyu 28:19 (ngokungafaniyo nokususa u 'Nkosi' endaweni ka 'Yehova' nalapho kungagwetyelwanga khona) kuba oko kungasebenza ngokuchasene nemibuzo yangoku yobhaptizo kunye nokugxila kwabo ngakumbi kuYehova nakuMbutho. Ukuba uMbutho wawulungisile uMateyu 28:19, ke imibuzo yobhaptizo yayiya kugxininisa kuYesu, xa imeko iyinyani ngoku.

Okulusizi kukuba, njengoko inqaku elandulelayo libonisa, ayikokungabikho ubungqina obukhoyo kwimbali eyonakeleyo kaMateyu 28:19. Kumaxesha anamhlanje abaphengululi bayazi malunga noku kwaye babhala malunga nayo ukusukela ekuqaleni kwe-1900s ukuba hayi ngaphambili.

• Umphengululi ogama linguConybeare wabhala ngokukhulu malunga noku ngo-1902-1903, kwaye ayinguye yedwa.
• Ukuxoxa ngoMateyu 28:19 ngomgaqo wobuthixo, emva phayaa ngo-1901 uJames Moffatt kwincwadi yakhe ITestamente eNtsha yeTestamente (1901) ichazwe kwi-p648, (681 pdf online)Ukusetyenziswa kwendlela yokubhaptiza yexesha elalandela lelo labapostile, ababesebenzisa ibinzana elilula lokubhaptiza egameni likaYesu. Ukuba eli binzana belikho kwaye lisetyenziswa, yinto engakholelekiyo ukuba umkhondo walo bekungafanele ukuba usindile; Apho isalathiso sokuqala kuyo, ngaphandle kwesi sicatshulwa, sikwiClem Rom. Kunye namaDidache (Justin Martyr, Apol. I 61). ”[vi] Inguqulelo yakhe kuzo zombini iTestamente eNdala neNtsha ayintandokazi ngaphakathi kuMbutho ngokusebenzisa kwakhe igama likaThixo kunye nokuguqulelwa kukaYohane 1: 1 phakathi kwezinye izinto, ke kufuneka bazazi izimvo zakhe kweminye imicimbi.

Ubhaptizo lweentsana noMntwana

Ukuba ubunokubuzwa umbuzo othi "Ngaba uMbutho ufundisa ubhaptizo lweentsana okanye lomntwana?" Ungaphendula uthini?

Impendulo yile: Ewe, uMbutho uyafundisa ngobhaptizo lwabantwana.

Inqaku elibonisa inqaku elifundwayo leMboniselo kaMatshi 2018, elinomxholo othi “Uyamnceda umntwana wakho aqhubele phambili ade abhaptizwe? (Jonga neMboniselo kaDisemba 2017 "Bazali- Ncedani abantwana benu babe 'ziingqondi zosindiso'".

Kuyathakazelisa ukuqaphela esi sicatshulwa silandelayo kwinqaku elikwi-intanethi elalisithi “Utshintshe njani imfundiso yobhaptizo?"[vii]

“IMPEMBELELO YENKOLO

Ngexesha labapostile benkulungwane yesibini, kwaqala uwexuko oluchaphazela uninzi lweemfundiso zobuKristu, lushiya nokuba ibe nye inyaniso eseBhayibhileni engenazihlanganisi zobu Yuda okanye zobuhedeni.

Zininzi izinto ezincedileyo kule nkqubo. Enye yezona mpembelelo zazininzi yayiziinkolelo, ezazinxulumana nezithethe ezininzi zobuhedeni, apho izithethe ezingcwele ezazisenziwa ngubufundisi ngendlela eyimfihlakalo zazihlambulula “ngokomoya”. Njengombono wezinto eziphathekayo ngamanzi obhaptizo angena ebandleni, ukubaluleka kwemfundiso yesibhalo yokuguquka kubomi bomamkeli kuncitshisiwe. Inkolelo ekhulayo ekusebenzeni kakuhle kobhaptizo yayihamba kunye nokusilela ukuqonda umbono weTestamente eNtsha wosindiso ngobabalo kuphela.

Abazali abangamaKristu abakholelwa kumandla angaqondakaliyo, omlingo obhaptizo bahambisa amanzi "angcwalisayo" kwangoko ebomini babantwana babo. Kwelinye icala, kwa le nto inye yenza ukuba abanye abazali basibeke amangomso isenzo sobhaptizo ngenxa yokoyika isono sasemva kokubhaptizwa. Ngesi sizathu umlawuli uConstantine waqala wabhaptizwa ebhedini yakhe yokufa, kuba wayekholelwa ukuba umphefumlo wakhe uya kuhlanjululwa kuzo naziphi na iimpazamo awazenzayo njengomntu ofayo ngokusebenza kwamagama angaqondakaliyo kunye namanzi anobhaptizo. Nangona kunjalo, umkhwa wobhaptizo lweentsana ngokuthe ngcembe lwasekwa ngakumbi, ngakumbi emva kokuba utata wecawe uAugustine (owasweleka ngo-AD 430) ebambelele ekusebenzeni okuyimfihlakalo kobhaptizo lweentsana ngemfundiso yesono sokuqala.

OOTATA BEPOSIKA-NICENE

Ngexesha lootata basemva kweNicaea (c. 381-600), ubhaptizo lwabantu abadala lwaqhubeka kunye nokubhaptizwa kweentsana de kwaba yinto eqhelekileyo kwinkulungwane yesihlanu. UBhishophu Ambrose waseMilan (usweleke engama-397) wabhaptizwa okokuqala eneminyaka engama-34, nangona wayengunyana wabazali abangamaKristu. Bobabini uChrysostom (usweleke angama-407) noJerome (basweleka abangama-420) bebekwiminyaka engamashumi amabini xa bebhaptizwa. Malunga no AD 360 uBasil wathi "naliphi na ixesha ebomini bomntu lilungele ukubhaptizwa," kwaye uGregory waseNazianzus (osweleke engama-390), xa ephendula umbuzo othi, "Siza kubhaptiza iintsana?" ulungelelwaniso ngokuthi, "Ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba ingozi isongela. Kuba kungcono ukuba ungcwaliswe ungazi, kunokuba usuke kobu bomi, ungatywinwanga, ungazisanga. ” Nangona kunjalo, xa kwakungekho bungozi bokufa, isigwebo sakhe "yayikukuba mabalinde bade babe neminyaka emithathu ubudala xa kunokwenzeka ukuba beve kwaye baphendule into malunga nomthendeleko. Okwangoku, nokuba abayiqondi kakuhle le nto, baya kuyifumana imigqaliselo. ”

Le nkcazo ibonisa ingxaki ekhoyo yezenkolo xa umntu efuna ukuhambelana neemfuno zeTestamente eNtsha zokubhaptizwa (ukuva umntu kunye nokwamkelwa kweendaba ezilungileyo ngokholo) kunye nenkolelo yokusebenza komlingo wamanzi obhaptizo ngokwawo. Ingcinga yokugqibela yazuza isandla xa uAugustine wenza ubhaptizo lweentsana lurhoxisa ityala lesono santlandlolo kwaye lwasekwa ngokuqinileyo njengoko icawe yaphuhlisa umbono wobabalo lomthendeleko (umbono wokuba iisakramente zisebenza njengezithuthi zobabalo lukaThixo).

Ukukhula kwembali yobhaptizo lweentsana kwicawa yakudala kwaphawula isiganeko esibalulekileyo kwiBhunga laseCarthage (418). Okokuqala ibhunga lamisela isithethe sokubhaptizwa kwabantwana: "Ukuba umntu uthi abantwana abasandula ukuzalwa akufuneki babhaptizwe… makaqalekiswe."

Ngaba uqaphele ezinye zeenqaku ezikhokelele ekwamkelweni kunye nemfuneko esisinyanzelo yokubhaptizwa kwabantwana? Ngaba uziqaphele ezi ngongoma okanye ezifanayo ebandleni lakho okanye kwezo ubaziyo?

• Inkolelo ekhulayo yokusebenza ngokubhaptizwa
  • Matshi 2018 Study Watchtower p9 para. 6 ichaziwe “Namhlanje, abazali abangamaKristu banomdla ofanayo wokunceda abantwana babo benze izigqibo zobulumko. Ukukubekel 'amangomso ukubhaptizwa okanye ukukubambezela ngokungeyomfuneko kunokubangela iingxaki zokomoya. ”
• yahamba kunye nokusilela ukuqonda ingcamango yeTestamente eNtsha yosindiso ngobabalo kuphela.
  • Ukunyanzelwa kweemfundiso zoMbutho kukuba ukuba asishumayeli njengoko bechaza ukuba kufuneka kwenziwe ngoko asinakho ukuzuza usindiso.
• Abazali abangamaKristu abakholelwa kumandla angaqondakaliyo, omlingo obhaptizo bahambisa amanzi "angcwalisayo" kwangoko ebomini babantwana babo.
  • Ngelixa uninzi lwabazali abangamaKristu lwalunokukhanyela ukukholelwa kumandla angaqondakaliyo okanye omlingo obhaptizo, kodwa esona senzo sokwamkela ubhaptizo lwabantwana babo besebancinci, kwaye kwiimeko ezininzi kubeka uxinzelelo kubantwana "ukuba bangashiywa ngasemva ebandleni. njengoluphela ulutsha olungabhaptizwanga ”nangona kunjalo kubonisa ukuba eneneni bayakholelwa ukuba ngandlel 'ithile (ngaphandle kwento yokuxhasa uluvo lwabo kwaye ngenxa yoko ngokuyimfihlakalo) abantwana babo banokusindiswa ngokubhaptizwa kwasekuqaleni.
• Kwelinye icala, kwa le nto inye yenza ukuba abanye abazali basibeke amangomso isenzo sobhaptizo ngenxa yokoyika isono sasemva kokubhaptizwa.
  • Matshi 2018 Study Watchtower p11 para. 12 wathi, "Echaza izizathu zokuba ayekise intombi yakhe ekubeni ingabhaptizwa, omnye umama ongumKristu wathi, “Ndineentloni zokuthi oyena nobangela yayikukususa kubudlelane.” Njengalo dade, abanye abazali baye baqiqa ngelithi kungcono umntwana wabo alimise elinye ixesha lokubhaptizwa ade aphume kulo mkhwa wobuntwana wokuziphatha kakubi.. "

Kumbutho, ngaba akukho luvo lukhoyo lokuba ukubhaptizwa uselula kuya kubakhusela xa bebadala? Inqaku elinye leSifundo seMboniselo libalaselisa amava kaBlossom Brandt owabhaptizwa eneminyaka eyi-10 kuphela.[viii]. Ngokuhlala ibonisa iminyaka emincinci yokuba abanye babhaptizwe, uMbutho unika inkxaso ngokuthe cwaka kwaye ubeka uxinzelelo kubantwana abancinci ukuba baphoswa yinto xa bengabhaptizwanga. IMboniselo kaMatshi 1, 1992 yathi kwiphepha 27 “Ngehlobo lowe-1946, ndabhaptizwa kwindibano yezizwe ngezizwe eCleveland, eOhio. Nangona ndandineminyaka emithandathu kuphela ubudala, ndandizimisele ukuzalisekisa ukuzinikela kwam kuYehova ”.

Umbutho ude ungazihoyi iirekhodi zembali osandula ukuzicaphula. Emva kokubuza umbuzo "Ngaba abantwana bakulungele ukuzinikela ngobukrelekrele? IZibhalo azichazi ukuba ubani ufanele abe neminyaka emingaphi ngaphambi kokuba abhaptizwe.”, Kwi-1 ka-Epreli 2006 kwiMboniselo p. 27 para. 8, inqaku leMboniselo emva koko licaphula amazwi ombhali-mbali  “Ngokuphathelele amaKristu enkulungwane yokuqala, kwincwadi yakhe ethi General History of the Christian Religion and Church, umbhali-mbali uAugustus Neander wathi: Ubhaptizo lwaluqale lwenziwe kubantu abadala kuphela, njengokuba abantu babeqhele ukukhawula ubhaptizo kunye nokholo njengezinxibelelene ngokungqongqo. ”[ix]. Nangona kunjalo, inqaku leMboniselo liza kuthi kwangoko "⁹ Kwimeko yolutsha, abanye bakhula ngokomoya besebancinane, ngoxa abanye bethatha ixesha elide. Ngaphambi kokuba abhaptizwe, umntwana ufanele abe nolwalamano lobuqu noYehova, aziqonde kakuhle iimfundiso ezisisiseko zeZibhalo, aze akuqonde ngokucacileyo oko kuthethwa kukuzinikela, njengoko kunjalo ngabantu abadala. ”  Ngaba oku akukhuthazi ukubhaptizwa kwabantwana?

Kuyathakazelisa ukufunda esinye isicatshulwa ngeli xesha kuAugustus Neander malunga namaKristu enkulungwane yokuqala "Inkqubo yokubhaptizwa kweentsana yayingaziwa ngeli xesha. . . . Oko kungade kube lixesha elidlulileyo njengoko (ubuncinci ngokuqinisekileyo ingekho ngaphambili) uIrenaeus [c. 120/140-c. 200/203 CE], umkhondo wokubhaptizwa kweentsana, kwaye oko kwaqala ukwamkelwa njengesiko labapostile kwinkulungwane yesithathu, bubungqina obuchasene noko ngaphandle kokuvuma kwemvelaphi yabapostile. ”-Imbali yokuTyala nokuQeqesha kweCawe yamaKrestu ngaBapostile, 1844, iphe. 101-102. ”[X]

Ngaba akuyonyaniso ukuthi ubuKristu bokwenene buquka ukuzama ukubuyela kwiimfundiso nakwizenzo ezicacileyo zamaKristu enkulungwane yokuqala? Ngaba kunokuthiwa ukukhuthaza nokuvumela abantwana abancinci (ngakumbi abangaphantsi kweminyaka yobudala esemthethweni yokuba ngabantu abadala - ngesiqhelo abaneminyaka eli-18 ubudala kumazwe amaninzi) ukuba babhaptizwe kuyahambelana nenkqubo yenkulungwane yokuqala yabapostile?

Ngaba ukuzahlulela kuYehova yinto eyimfuneko ukuze ubhaptizwe?

Ukuzinikezela kuthetha ukubekela bucala injongo engcwele. Nangona kunjalo, ukukhangela kwiTestamente eNtsha / kwiZibhalo zamaKristu zesiGrike akuvezi nto malunga nokuzinikezela ukuba ukhonze uThixo okanye uKristu. Igama ukuzinikezela (kunye nezinto ezivela kulo, nikezela, nikela) zisetyenziswa kuphela kwimeko yeCorban, izipho ezinikezelwe kuThixo (Marko 7:11, Matthew 15: 5).

Ke ngoko, oku kuphakamisa omnye umbuzo malunga neemfuno zoMbutho zokubhaptizwa. Ngaba kufuneka sizahlulele kuYehova uThixo ngaphambi kokuba samkelwe ukuze sibhaptizwe? Ngokuqinisekileyo abukho ubungqina besiBhalo bokuba iyimfuneko.

Ukanti incwadi ethi Ulungelelwaniso p77-78 ithi “Ukuba uye wamazi uYehova yaye wamthanda ngokuhlangabezana nemilinganiselo kaThixo nangokuba nesabelo kubulungiseleli basentsimini, kufuneka womeleze ulwalamano lwakho naye. Njani? Ngokunikela ubomi bakho kuye uze ubonakalise oku ngokubhaptizwa emanzini. — Mat. 28:19, 20.

¹⁷ Ukuzahlulela kuthetha ukubekela injongo ethile engcwele. Ukuzahlulela kuThixo kuthetha ukuthandaza kuye uze umthembise ukuba uza kumkhonza kwaye uhambe ngeendlela zakhe. Kuthetha ukuzinikela kuye ngonaphakade. (Dut. 5: 9) Lo ngumbandela wobuqu, wangasese. Akukho mntu unokukwenzela yona.

¹⁸ Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka wenze okungaphaya kokuxelela uYehova ngasese ukuba ufuna ukuba ngowakhe. Kufuneka ubonise abanye abantu ukuba uzahlulele kuThixo. Uyazisa ngokubhaptizwa emanzini, njengoko noYesu wenzayo. (1 Pet. 2:21; 3:21) Ukuba wenze isigqibo sokukhonza uYehova yaye ufuna ukubhaptizwa, yintoni omele uyenze? Ufanele uxelele umnxibelelanisi wequmrhu labadala ngomnqweno wakho. Uya kwenza amalungiselelo okuba abadala abaliqela bathethe nawe ukuze baqiniseke ukuba uyahlangabezana neemfuno zobuthixo zokubhaptizwa. Ngolwazi oluthe vetshe, nceda ujonge “Umyalezo oya kuMvakalisi ongabhaptizwanga,” ofumaneka kwiphepha 182-184 lale ncwadi, kunye nemibuzo ethi “Imibuzo Yabo Banqwenela Ukubhaptizwa,” efumaneka kwiphepha 185-207. ”

Kufuneka sizibuze, ngubani obeka kuqala? Umbutho okanye izibhalo? Ukuba zizibhalo njengeLizwi likaThixo, siya kuba nempendulo yethu. Hayi, ukuzahlulela kuYehova akuyonto ifunekayo ukuze ubhaptizo lwezibhalo "egameni likaKristu" ukuze ube ngumKristu.
