Subject: Free in Christ |
Bible Note: Thank you, Doc, very much. I am in a class to become a church member, and the leading pastor had said, we were free from sin. I corrected him, saying we are not free from sin, but free from the law of sin and death. (Rom 8) I am not sure if I want to join this church now, as the pastor accused me of being prideful, and again, as I was discussing the practice of infant baptism. I am not in favor of it, the pastor is not in favor either, but he will erform it if the parents want it. I am now thinking this is a compromise on the part of the denomination, and may want to continue shopping for a church home. |
