    Water Baptism

    Sadly, that's not biblically supported. We are saved by grace, not our 'belief', yet the person in a coma is denied the grace of God active in baptism. Good. That's biblical, but under what criteria - saving belief or saving grace? An appeal to anecdotal evidence is biblical how? Perhaps...

    Steak

    Soooo... How do you like yours? I'll go medium, but even that seems like an insult to the chef sometimes. I've never tried a mid-rare, but that just seems a bit too red for me.

    If you could change one thing

    The schisms that have separated the faithful would not have come to pass so we could all, truly, be "one" in the faith

    Bacon

    Crispy steak? I hear all the chefs of the world gasping in horror.

    Don't cough or sneeze into your hand

    Sanitizing wipes are handy (see what I did there...? :) ) too. Maybe use a cotton swab to get in between the keys?

    Don't cough or sneeze into your hand

    My dad has used handkerchiefs since I was a kid. Absolutely gross... For whatever reason my mom still washes them. If it were me I'd be handing them to him. Nope, Nope, Nope :D

    Bacon

    My preference is not a lot of fat, but I'll cook mine nice and crispy so there's not a lot of grease left over

    Don't cough or sneeze into your hand

    As per "Mythbusters" :D the best place is into one's elbow to avoid the most spray

    Water Baptism

    I don't think this ^^^^ answers the question. atpollard posted some verses for you (Josiah) and asked for a response. I'd like to see that as well (understanding, however, my already solid 'stance' on the baptism question)

    Water Baptism

    Ah yes, but what about colored highlighters? :scared:

    Water Baptism

    You've hit on something I'm not sure you realize. It is beyond water, but it involves water. And that's the difference that's separating so many of us, I think

    Water Baptism

    I'm not sure I understand the quizzical nature of responding to what might be called "types, figures or allusions" in scripture with denial that they can be such. Water must be mentioned or it is not water. Bapstism must be mentioned or it is not baptism. A camel must be mentioned or it is not a...

    Water Baptism

    "I" AND "wonder" AND "how" AND "long" AND "it" AND "took" AND "you" AND "to AND "come" AND "up" AND "with" AND "that" AND "?" /NOT " :smirk: "

    Regulative Principle vs Normative Principle

    I see a potential issue. When we're considering what is observed vs. what is commanded, that leaves some leeway - commanded vs. good and necessary implication. My opinion is that the Lutheran church, along with tradition (but not more-so), relies on the second as much as the first. For myself...

    Growing with different denominations

    An interesting question! I was influenced many ways in my faith. My parents are Presbyterian, and I grew up in that deenomination. If I had not made a move to canada from the states, I would most likely still be a part of that church (PCUSA). There are things I disagree with there, but that also...
