Its the difference between "anabaptist" and "Anabaptist" correct?
For the record, I identify as catholic, orthodox, and kingdom Christian. I am culturally connected to Anabaptists.
And another note of interest... Half of the Anabaptists who moved to Boston and joined FOTW are now anabaptist.

The old woodcutter spoke again. “It is impossible to talk with you. You always draw conclusions. Life is so vast, yet you judge all of life with one page or one word. You see only a fragment. Unless you know the whole story, how can you judge?"
Re: Followers of the Way tested
It concerns me that FOTW is asking for re-baptism. It fits though with their views though.Ernie wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 5:09 pm Catholic - Someone who is part of the Catholic Church (the organization)

Re: Followers of the Way tested
FOTW pushes full immersion baptism really hard - including that is required for salvation.
(Just to be clear, I don't agree with this, but I also don't think such doctrinal differences mean I need to denounce FOTW and its leaders as heretics and false teachers. Or condemn the entirety of the German Baptist Brethren.
Y'know, just setting the record straight.)

Re: Followers of the Way tested
It is more than just pushing for immersion… we know someone who was baptized by full immersion. Despite having a clear testimony they got pressured to be rebaptize because of the age of when they got baptized. The story we heard was that they discount any baptism prior to age 18.Josh wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 5:24 pmFOTW pushes full immersion baptism really hard - including that is required for salvation.

I can understand where they're coming from but that's quite a position to take.Soloist wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 5:41 pmIt is more than just pushing for immersion… we know someone who was baptized by full immersion.

At age 12, Jesus was reasoning with the doctors. And age 12 was the traditional Jewish age for miqvah.

Re: Followers of the Way tested
Fotw ...I call them... far off the Word
have many false doctrines and sin.
False gospel ...uniting to atheists ...sitting on billions...not teaching to obey all He commanded .. it's endless.
See the testing link it documents them to warn my neighbor who I love ...
I hate FOTWs false ways....I hope they repent.
Psalm 119:104
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
But I love people enough to tell the truth ...
Galatians 4:16 KJVS
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

I'd really like to know what church donotperish thinks is a true church.
So donotperish, can you please tell me of a real true church I can go to?
Thank you in advance!

I don't reason long with people I can't verify their faith system or gender and there is far too much feminization going on in the his world... which started with Eve. In person is far different. I can't hang out here much as I have brothers and sisters to edify daily...teachings to post and daily street ministry to do. If any man wants to contend in the faith ..email me or call to go over the gospel then I can hear any correction or concerns he has. I do test to the Word all things. 1 Thess 5

There was no conversation. I spent 20 minutes listening to a oppressive narcissist that rationalizes anything he needs to to be "the Truth" that he gets from the Holy Spirit. I heard very little fruits of the Sprit. I told him he was preaching down to me. He said no. I said strongly that he was preaching down to me again, he said no again. I hung up. I have better things to do then listen to a narcissist for any longer. There was no edification or community building, which was my purpose. Any time I tried to talk or say anything, he cut me off and launched right back into his ranting.
He is totally happy doing what he does. Who I really feel for is his wife. I hope his overbearing personality does not lean into abusive ways with her. I have no evidence to suggest he does, but I have seen that personality before and it can easily lead into abusive patterns. I do not know if he has children with him, but if so, I would hope Child Services makes a wellness check.

Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.
I think I am funnier than I really am.

However that said -
I simply want to know of 1 single church that is correct that he finds truly follows the gospel. I will go visit it. There's got to be one according to the scripture.
