Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

Ernie wrote: Wed Apr 24, 2024 8:08 amI'm still curious whether the poll reflects people's feelings about their choice of President, or whether some people voted for who they think will win, even if that is their least favorite candidate.
B. But as potential leaders, I dislike them equally, just to qualify.

This is old news really. We’ve been talking about this for over a year.
SO this actually IS on the table to possibly make a decision on this summer?

Re: Where are the Anabaptists in the UK?

I love the channel Ready to Harvest. This was a neat and thorough video looking at the very very small number of anabaptist church groups in the UK today. https://youtu.be/BJoTjDCAUDk?feature=shared I have long been under the impression that there have never been large numbers of Anabaptist Christi...

I am leaving that definition to the individual and his fellowship.
Max, what has worked best for the RCC?

RZehr wrote: Thu Apr 18, 2024 1:05 amI really like how Paul Lamicela explains this. I believe it makes so much sense and is so coherent with Anabaptist theology.

Re: Preparation for Baptism

When OGBBs settle in an area, is it a community decision or an individual family decision? I hear from a relative that the GA New Conference moved to southeast TN. Is that true? To the first, it is an individual decision. After a few other families move to the same area, they generally start a form...

Re: Preparation for Baptism

German Baptists might have a belief in baptismal regeneration but in my experience are quite “Anabaptist” in their approach to it, and a sizeable fraction believe in universal salvation anyway. This is interesting! I'm certainly curious to know if you've actually talked to more than perhaps 10 or 1...
