These would be the practise and belief of our church except anointing with oil might be done by the elders as well. As far as ordinances we have two only - believer's immersion/baptism and the Lord's Supper.MaxPC wrote:Another query for those who currently attend a Mennonite/Anabaptist fellowships. This book mentions Anointing with Oil as one of the Seven Ordinances. The subtopics are:
-Anointing with oil should be done by ministers of the local church.
-Healing comes through the prayer of faith. ("Continued sickness does not mean that our prayers have failed or that we did not have enough faith. We must have the full confidence that God always hears our prayers and that all His answers are right.")
-Healing is associated with confession of sin.
Thoughts?
Does this sync with your own understanding?
