Re: Sattler College Turmoil

My guess is that if you pressed CoC members on it, they might not actually come down and say you were damned to hell if you weren't immersed. But at the same time their doctrine strongly suggests that one must be immersed to be saved, so....

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I'm not familiar enough with CoC to say for sure. But if CoC is saying that everyone is damned who doesn't receive baptism in a specific mode, then FOTW does not teach that. OK, I understand. My personal experience with CoC is having an ex-pastor and his son-in-law (whose church had disbanded) atte...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

The square brackets were to give the context which was in the context of him explaining his early church views in baptism regeneration. I cannot remember enough of the context to type it out word for word. It is entirely possible those views have changed. So, let’s ask the question outright: Does F...

Business opportunities serving low-tech Anabaptist groups

Anabaptists who don't use certain technologies present a unique set of business opportunities for those interested in meeting their resulting needs. We've seen this a long time in providing transportation for plain groups who will not drive vehicles, but will hire others to do so. In this discussion...

Re: Worldbook Encyclopedia Censorship Topics

Yes, that's him. I'd say he has done a tremendous amount of work, pouring through basically all of the articles that might contain photos, diagrams, or text info that a conservative parent would not want to have available to a child. (It is, of course, a parent's rightful place to be able to do thi...

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

https://www.archbalt.org/seek-the-city-proposal/ Their average attendance is about 2500 weekly. There is a mega church that has that large of attendance, and at least two that are over a thousand. While some here have pushed back on the notion I have advanced here that the RCC in my fair town is on...

Re: Christians in the 2024 Election

When we Christians talk about it, we should speak from the position of nonparticipants. Don't use the word WE to describe anything related to the political process. Christians should not only refrain from voting and political activism, but should not consider themselves as being part of the process ...
