Furthermore, it is an extra-Biblical rule. As would be any rules we would make about restricting participation in threads.

Yep. Fixed. Red is for Mods only.

I apologize for using red. I forgot that was for moderators only and was just trying to separate my latest input from previous input in blue. I will try to remember to use a different colour next time. And as I previously indicated, I have no further input to my view of keeping the forum open. Have a nice day ! Thanks Robert.

Because you always try to be kind and considerate, I immediately assumed this. It just took a few seconds to fix it. It was kind of fun after a week of working in 100 degree heat fixing toilets, A/C units and whatever else popped up. Well, the toilets were in rooms with A/C, so that was not so bad.

Speaking of working in high heat jobs, I once worked as a teen in a greenhouse spreading manure in temperatures over 100+ degree fahrenheit with bees swarming around my head. I drank and sweat a lot of water on this job and got stung a few times. That was the most physically challenging job I have ever had. The next to that was in 100+ temperature picking peaches with all the itchy peach fuzz to deal with and no breeze.

I can't imagine fixing some toilets I have seen, A/C or no A/C. I've had to work on some with a plunger over my lifetime and it is hard to do that job without making a face of disgust.

I have changed so many diapers in my lifetime, it does not phase me. I like being the invisible person behind giving kids a wonderful camp experience where they encounter our Creator. They had 140 baptisms a few weeks ago. These were teens, mostly older teens. Feels good knowing my efforts are part of what God is doing to impact lives.

No voice is too minor to share Truth. That is what drives kings crazy.

Wow ! 140 baptisms mostly older teens. Praise the Lord !

Curious - do you have baptismal classes prior to baptism and discipleship classes after baptism ? Neither, one or both ? I suspect these teens are from various Anabaptist churches, right ?

What about baptismal sponsors ? In the MB church I attended each candidate for baptism had a sponsor who would give a little background and encouragement just before the one they sponsored was baptised. Then the one baptised would give their testimony about how they became a believer. These stories were written in the church bulletin also for people to follow as these testimonies were given.

I suspect there is a variety of different procedures Anabaptists take but I don't really know. Sadly I was the sponsor for a friend who took the baptismal classes prior to baptism and he gave indications that he was truly keen on following Jesus. Later on we found out he did this because his wife wanted him to and he honored her desire before she died of cancer. Hopefully before he dies he will reconsider what he was taught and truly give his heart to Jesus.

Nope. That group was from some denomination called Keystone. We assisted with some of the programming, but most of that was their leaders with their youth. That means they can stay connected and work with them as they return home.
