    A mostly sunny 12 degrees. Not a bad morning.

    What is infant dedication and what does it mean

    You can't have "individual discernment" and take a stand "for or against" something at the same time. That requires being informed about something by someone else. It's not individual discernment anymore, and you can't throw around the "man-made traditions..." line when you do take a stand.

    Amazing find - Ice age Mammoth tusks

    That looked to be part of it. I think the researchers were grateful to have access to what they did, though.

    What is infant dedication and what does it mean

    My quote was in response to a suggestion that my baptism as an infant wasn't sufficient as an act of God's grace (which is nonsense), requiring me to be re-baptized as an adult. My point was that, if this is true, then neither is God acting in any manner in infant dedication.

    What is infant dedication and what does it mean

    The problem here is that you make a stand for "individual discernment" then against "man-made traditions and philosophy...after the rudiments of the world, and not Christ". Taking a stand "for or against" requires abandoning "individual discernment" in matters of faith, or any other matter.

    Rising Sea will shape the future of the USA

    The "Great Lakes" are rising? I lived in Michigan my whole life (until four years ago) and never heard this. (Disclaimer - I am for the full disclosure of all climate related science. This is not currently happening)

    Amazing find - Ice age Mammoth tusks

    I'm sure. The stats are about right. The amazing part to me is the sheer size of these things. I'm sure if the farmer had let these guys have at it and dig on the plot where he found the tusks, they could have unearthed the whole skeleton (or close to it). There are a number of finds in...

    What is infant dedication and what does it mean

    But in all other things (for the Christian) God's grace is? Otherwise, God failed somewhere along the line for the child who was dedicated.

    What is infant dedication and what does it mean

    It's not so much about being defensive (perhaps for some it is...), but more-so examining scriptural evidence. It seemed to me that baby dedication had all the same ritual about it that baptism did, except for the presence of water. Why not opt for the "full experience" (i.e. regeneration), and...

    What is infant dedication and what does it mean

    Thanks for all the responses. I guess I meant this more as a rebuttal thread to the infant baptism thread. With all the scriptural reference there, it seems that there should be some for this practice as well. What I wondered is if anyone could show proof for parents standing in to represent the...

    whats the weather like where you live?

    14c and moderate winds blowing stuff around on our patio. Light rain to go along with it before too long, I imagine.

    What is infant dedication and what does it mean

    Let's assume (for now) that infant baptism is not supported by scripture, and, therefore, cannot be correct. Yet I have been a part of many churches that go through great pains to "dedicate" a child to the Lord, with the parents (and congregation) committing to bring up and nurture the child in...

    What is baptism and what does it mean?

    When you were registered for school the first day, did you give logical assent to registering for school, or did a parent/guardian act on your behalf, assuming full responsibility for the act? If a parent/guardian acted on your behalf (following your reasoning) it was of no value since the act...
