Re: Church good at evangelization
If I had to guess, I would say your differences from Anabaptists on evangelism stem from a difference in worldview/philosophy of anthropology and not so much from level of fervor, energy or demonstration of the supernatural. The common anthropology of Evangelicalism starts at the fall in Gen 3 and ...

Re: Church good at evangelization
I have some pretty narrow views on evangelizing so I'll share them here - YMMV If I had to guess, I would say your differences from Anabaptists on evangelism stem from a difference in worldview/philosophy of anthropology and not so much from level of fervor, energy or demonstration of the supernatu...

Re: Thoughts re Colossians??
It would be encouraging to hear other’s perspectives on Colossians 3: 11 Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scyth′ian, slave, free man, but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, ...

Re: Why Some Churches Practice Infant Baptism and others do not.
I see a link between the choice to march to war and to baptize babies. Both are not comfortable with allowing the free will of others and wish to rule over them to produce the "correct" outcome. And another similarity is that both rely on there being no explicit prohibition on either. The...

Re: Poll: Modes of Baptism
Why doesn’t the NT say a peep about infant baptism then? Didn't need to. Why didn't it say a peep about pouring? FWIW, I'm not terribly comfortable with pouring either. Or sprinkling. But I do believe there are solid Christians who disagree with me on all these things. As Josh notes, there's no men...

Re: OO, evangelical, and fundamentalist views on assurance of salvation
Probably the most significant doctrinal difference that has emerged between Old Orders and evangelical-fundamentalists (which includes most conservative Anabaptists) is “assurance of salvation”. CAs generally speaking maintain a belief that Old Orders believe in “salvation via works” and that they ...

Re: Cooperative Missions Run by Different Denominations
Neto, your experience of being labeled a legalist by WBT reminds me of my great grandmother and her discomfort with modern ideas like "assurance of salvation" which sounded too prideful and to full of modern self determination to be Christ like. She was wise, well read, knew the Bible for...

Re: Cooperative Missions Run by Different Denominations
I do not know German, either one of the German dialects or languages involved, so I do not have an opinion regarding the meaning of the words concerned. But I do know Hank, and he is not only a native speaker of PA German, but is also a trained linguist. He & his wife Ruth did a translation for...
