I see thread going well.... :o Sorry Steve for participating beyond my original '2 cents worth'. These 'Progressive/Conservative' labels and the many splits in Anabaptism over this subject is a problem area for me. I will try to keep out of these sanctification differences in future posts. I just a...

Sudsy, you could do so much better by using quotes instead of color. Makes replying to you a real mess. If only you would do as you say and not as you do. So is this the way you are choosing to ignore my rebuttals because of my use of colours ? :P And yes, I am the only hypocrite here. Somebody has...

Curious - does the scripture say anything about men wearing shorts ? Seems to me the dress mode for peasant men in NT times was a tunic which was white and knee-length and to work or run he tucked it up into the girdle round his waist – an action known as 'girding up the loins'. I think if we are g...

I didn't say that you are one with this perspective if you read it carefully. What you said If I am called 'liberal' due to the perspective of another believer that I am not set apart from the world as they think I should be, to me, this is a holier-than-thou attitude and does not fit with the scri...

I would prefer I not be judged by other believers as to how sanctified/set apart I am from non-believers and given a label of being liberal' or 'conservative'. If I am called 'liberal' due to the perspective of another believer that I am not set apart from the world as they think I should be, to me...

I see. I have a similar attitude about the identification of Christians being some degree of 'conservative' or 'liberal' when these terms are used in our world when talking about politics. I'm surprised that some Anabaptists use these words, especially those who try not to associate their faith wit...

I know Anabaptism is 500 years old, and I'll admit I probably know more about its roots than the state of every church that claims the anabaptist tradition and legacy, but... emphasizing "being born again" seems like the ONE disagreement that led to all other differences between the anaba...

Are there really Anabaptists that do not emphasize the new birth? Why are they still anabaptists? Is that not the point of beleiever's baptism as opposed to infant baptism? That the church only baptized those who show a genuine faith to evidence the new birth? I know Anabaptism is 500 years old, an...

My wife wears a headcovering. I don't wear shorts outside the house, maybe if I started doing 5K's again. We don't have *real* TV, but we can livestream and we watch DVD's within reason. In some ways we are conservative but not in everything. Curious - does the scripture say anything about men wear...

In regards to your own personal standards and applications, what is liberal/progressive in your opinion? What is conservative in your opinion? My wife wears a headcovering. I don't wear shorts outside the house, maybe if I started doing 5K's again. We don't have *real* TV, but we can livestream and...
