One word that I have heard a few times now in my journey of exploring the Anabaptist Church/Kingdom Christianity is Pietism. I looked up the word in Theopedia (http://www.theopedia.com/pietism) and found this description: Pietism was originally a reform movement in the German Lutheran Church during ...

Thanks, Ernie. Those are helpful clarifications.

So taking this a step further... If one of the "basic Christian beliefs" is that people should not be part of the church or commune with other believers unless they give evidence of the new nature... and a group of Christians or a church does not require this of those who want to be part ...

Thank you RZehr and Ernie for your responses. That is what I expected and it helps confirm what we were already on the verge of deciding: that our children should not participate in communion until they are baptized members of the church (and until they are old enough to appreciate what that means).

Personally I like the ESV as well and that is the main translation I read, but when I have trouble understanding it, I like to turn t...

I am not interested in starting a discussion on why or why not the King James Version should be the translation of choice for English speakers. (I find that such discussions seldom bear fruit.) So I would request th...

I would offer the following observations. Obviously Jesus quotes from the Ten Commandments, but he only quotes the commandments that have something to say about how we relate to other people rather than the commandments about how we relate to God. Interestingly he does not quote the commandment abou...
