1 | Water baptism unnecessary for conversion | Acts 2:38 | arrow1 | 114339 | ||
You are incorrect. The ICOC does use musical instruments. There are many traditional churches of christ. Some use musical instruments, and there are also many that don't. That was one doctrine I never really agreed with. It seems like one of those minor disputable matters which Christians could agree to disagree on. It is a bit of a connundrum, Efree has infant dedication and Luth. baptizes infants, neither of which has scriptural examples. The two I attend happen to be the two fastest growing churches in Des Moines right now. 1)Catholics adhere to baptismal regeneration 2)Evangelicals have the sinners prayer and faith alone 3)and then there is adult repentance and baptism into Christ. To me those are three distintly different doctrines. It's hard to believe that they are all correct at the same time. If you pick one, it seems you're condemning the others all to hell. That makes hell pretty crowded. I have personal friends in all three camps. They are all equally dedicated to and in love with the Lord. I admit I do struggle with that. Maybe I'm still searching a little myself. sincerely, arrow1 |

2 | Water baptism unnecessary for conversion | Acts 2:38 | Searcher56 | 114376 | ||
arrow1 - you just covered a few of the differences in doctrine ... some are minor ... most are backed by Scripture. I would have hard time attending churches w/ so many differences, at the same time. I would be labeled a Baptist ... yet disagree w/ some of what they say ... including, I think (water) baptism should be translated washing, which I have posted here. I encourage you to search Scripture and determine your own beliefs ... do not trust tradition or trends ... only the truth. I have adjusted what I believe, including the day of His crucifixion. |
