Re: (Part 2) Spring 2024: Tell us about your church!
Hey! Unlike Part 1, I can check more than one box on this one, lol! We bought a building with a stage inside and a steeple attached, but we've removed the steeple and the stage is coming out during our remodel/expansion over the next year... Our windows get enough streaks from the children without n...

Re: Baptismal Formula
What is amazing to me is how scriptures are used (more specifically the one I pointed to in John 19:30) when determining a 'mode'. It doesn't surprise me that scriptures are used but rather which scriptures are used and how . I can say the same about the scriptures used to support Calvinism and non...

Re: Baptismal Formula
It is truly amazing to me how scriptures are used to support all these varying practices for water baptism. Sudsy, why does this surprise you? Wouldn't it make sense that, IF there is indeed a right "mode" of water baptism, that it would be found/justified in the Scriptures, of all places...

Re: Questions for Anabaptists: Theologically Conservative or Evangelical
How does your church address the symbols of headship order, including men uncovering their heads during worship gatherings, but more likely addressing the practice of women covering their heads during worship gatherings? Some examples: A) Discipline - Our church holds to the traditional headship or...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper
Wait, which part is unbiblical? The Eucharist as a sacrifice or that you cannot have Mass (service?) without communion. I would assume you mean the former, but I'm curious as to why you and other Mennonites would view it that way. Would you care to elaborate? Judas can elaborate if he meant somethi...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper
If I remember correctly, since the Mass is a “sacrifice” one cannot have a Mass without communion. Mennonites, or course, would totally reject that notion, as it is throughly unbiblical. Wait, which part is unbiblical? The Eucharist as a sacrifice or that you cannot have Mass (service?) without com...

Re: Baptismal Formula
Some groups make a big deal about it having to be "running water" as in a creek or stream. Others, not so much. This was in a farm pond. That actually shocks me a bit. If its gonna be outside, they want moving water. Fancy this, my wife remembers that her mom made a special dress for bapt...

Re: Old German Baptist Brethren: OC & NC
Just as a bump up from a couple years ago, the OGBBC New Conference website has been significantly updated over the last few months, both in terms of content and user-friendliness, if anybody is interested. www.ogbbc.org Much better! When we go out in a few weeks to see our first grandchild, I may ...
