Re: Sattler College Turmoil
“Plain people, Amish and Mennonites are so close to the truth, yet almost none of them are saved [referring to baptism by pouring]. If we are able to get more church plants going, perhaps we could save a few of them.” FotW’s founders see themselves as delivering salvation (notable is that they term...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil
I would have identified it as a fusion movement between the Church of Christ and Anabaptism, that has the "look and feel" of an Anabaptist church but has the controversial doctrine of the Church of Christ, also known as the Stone-Campbell movement. It would be much the same as Charity was ...

Re: 2/3 of Roman Catholic Churches in Baltimore to close
For those who do not know, Baltimore has been a hotbed of the molestation scandal. They declared chapter 11 bankruptcy to halt lawsuits that could have forced them to sell everything, down to the last candlestick.

Re: Preparation for Baptism

There is a church nearby where I live that immerses the same day or asap as possible after repentance. Show me anywhere in the NT where there was any testing perio...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil
So how do universities rise in the rankings? By attracting students with higher test scores. And price is the easiest way for them to do that.
