Close Discipleship

I have a friend that is likely moving onto our property. He is asking for advice often as his life unravels and he does want to study scripture regularly with me here while in the mean time he moves through the challenges of what could be a divorce. Please feel free to share advice and experiences o...

Re: Do most Mennonites consider themselves Protestant?

I've never heard that expression before. Most Mennonite churches that I have been in are the complete opposite end of the spectrum from Catholic or Episcopal churches with their ornate altars, stained glass, and so forth.

Re: Christ, Not Caesar, Is Head Of The Church

I'm not here to tell the State what they can and cannot do and as soon as someone starts talking like they can or talking about an autonomous governance I cringe because Christ was silent about such things but rather called them to repentance. I'm here to say that if the state tells me I need to de...

Re: Christ, Not Caesar, Is Head Of The Church

Sounds like they don't understand the kingdom of God isn't an earthly kingdom. Christ said His kingdom was not if this world and didn't fight or set up some kind of autonomous other earthly place/group of governance. And yet, from a common Anabaptist standpoint, we expect the citizens of a Heavenly...

Re: Do most Mennonites consider themselves Protestant?

Often more traditional groups get called conservatives and what I have found is that because the group's called more conservative that I relate to (ultras and intermediate) take more of two-kingdom theology approach(in short meaning there is the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness) they reall...

Re: Do most Mennonites consider themselves Protestant?

What is challenging to me is that I have talked with a number of people that clearly preach that the Gospel is only about Jesus and salvation. These people will even teach to really pay attention to what Jesus said. These people are always from Protestant labeled churches and the ones with seminary ...

Re: Mennonites getting baptized as infants in Lutheran churches in the 1800s?

Mennonites were originally Anabaptists which was a mocking name given to them because they rejected infant baptism by state churches and therefore coming from Catholic churches they were baptized as infants but got their real baptism upon their own profession of faith and choice as an adult. I would...
