Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. |
Subject: why is baptism important |
Bible Note: Sir Pent: You write: "This topic has been thoroughly covered in other threads, and as I have read all of the responses so far, there has been nothing new added in this one. I think it would be healthier to just recommend a search than to create division by rehashing old arguments." Well said! I agree with you 110 percent. I have posted the same thought(in similar terms) regarding other re-animated topics, but apparently some have an irresistible urge to rehash old arguments. (I may occasionally submit a post or two to such a "new" thread, but only in moderation. I will not be drawn into another argument that has already been argued to death). |
