Re: Gadgets - Home+Garden

Re: "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain!"

Praying against a leader is an interesting question. Think of an extreme example, such a Hitler. I think I could faithfully pray for his conversion, and failing that, that his evil plans be thwarted.

I do think that God dealt and will deal with people differently in different ages, although people get much too detailed.

Re: Asking for Church Membership??

I believe the scriptural precedent is that new converts be baptized promptly, confirming them as part of the body of Christ. In our current cultural context, with many denominations, and many congregations within those denominations, it seems to make sense for the congregation and the one interested...
