Re: Christianity according to the Anabaptists

My understanding would be what Danz listed although I think within Anabaptism there are varied applications on what these require. I would add these - - being born again - believer's baptism in water (main distinctive in the title Anabaptist) - a high view of the bible - the church as a covenant com...

Re: Philosophical and Theological differences between Anabaptism and Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism

Sudsy- I would say "no" to what is usually meant by #1. Probably "no" to what is meant by "atonement" in #2. Would you mind explaining ? I found this that somewhat explains the Anabaptist view(s) on #3 the atonement. - http://www.directionjournal.org/30/2/atonement-in-...

Re: Voting without warring

The area of political involvement is one that easily can get my old nature's attention as I find it very entertaining. It also is such a display of lies and hatred and so much the opposite of a Kingdom approach to life. To see such support coming from Evangelicals as well as others for a certain par...

Re: Proper expectations on unbelievers

However, isn't their a place for calling people to return to a practice that we believe is God-honoring - a practice that society used to affirm - without demanding that people accommodate our preferences? Preachers have been doing this for centuries. We do it on MN all the time. I guess I am puzzl...
