1 | Joe, baptism required for Lord's Supper? | 1 Cor 11:27 | Hank | 63156 | ||
Hi, Debbie. Unless I'm much mistaken, the issue about waiting to be baptized had to do with considerations other than meteorologic. Well can I understand one's reluctance to submit to immersion in a river or pond in winter, whether in the frozen north or in Arkansas: it can get cold here in January too! But in your north country, and I've been to the upper mid-west in winter, it gets frigid. The weather there reminds me of the first lines of Keat's poem: "St. Agnes Eve -- Ah, bitter chill it was! ... The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold; ... The hare limp'd trembling through the frozen grass, ... And silent was the flock in woolly fold." ..... Does that sound like the winter in your part of the world? If it does, I'd be in favor of waiting on outdoor baptism till the spring thaw! --Hank | ||||||

Definitly not as literary, but up here, spitting into the wind in winter is a form of masochism! Deb |
