    the meaning of Baptism

    To heck with babies, that is a symptom, not the cause. Show me in Scripture (assuming you still believe that the Word of God stands above human traditions), where anyone, of any age was First Baptized and then Later Believed and was 'Born from above'. 'Baptists' object to your baptizing...

    the meaning of Baptism

    Just for the record, I am not attempting to shout "for heaven's sake, stop sprinkling those babies!" I realize that it may appear that way, but that is not my goal. My goals are more subtle than my methods. I am attempting to comment on the subject of "What is baptism?" It will probably come...
