Thank you for your post justme, In keeping with the user rules of the forum I sincerely state that none of what I have written or continue to write is an attempt at unfriendly debate or argument. With that said friend, let me point you back to the history of this thread. My belief is that you have misrepresented my statements to no small degree and to the weight of negative focus and by doing so threaten to sustain a negative focus. And all this while denying a negative focus? Again, a history of the thread will demonstrate a simple attempt to redirect a statement you made suggesting that believers should assume that a churches rule is biblical because it is, well, the churches rule. My caution and pointing out that this guidance was not only inappropriate but dangerous should, in my opinion, have been responded to responsibly by retracting the statement or clarifying the meaning of your statement. You still have not done that brother. Instead, you continue to respond in a way that very obviously attempts to present me as one who sees the church as villainous. For the record, and that record includes what I have previously written and is available for study, I do not. If the last word is important to you please respond to this post, however, in the spirit of not apparently continuing down the wrong path, I will take your response to heart without offering another in this thread or topic. God bless, we are still brothers, and one day we will laugh about our differences if even they are remembered. Jeff |

Hi Jeff, If I may be so bold, I would like to add a thought, and perhaps Justme might care to confirm or correct me on this. Justme had written: "I personally think the Baptism requirement is a sound and Biblical requirement. I know of no organization where you can hold any office without belonging to the origanization. Why would one who has not followed the Lord's instructions want to be a part of believers that have followed the Lord's instructions? I think it best to follow your churches requirements with confidence it is Biblical." My understanding is that he was saying that he thought this particular requirement of this congregation was Biblically sound. I did not understand him to be saying that any requirement given by any church was automatically to be followed simply on the basis that "your church required it". Justme, is this correct? Perhaps this is needless division? Please, I hope for a soft answer. . . Love in Christ, Mark |
