You should be OK there Kut ! Some trust in their "rightness"...I'll trust in the cross and Jesus rightousness, imputed to me.
Wer had this conversation some time back on baptism and does it have to be done EXACTLY has we think we see in scripture.
You don't have to be much of a historical student of time of Christ or our Jewish roots to know that those that are taken under the water by the hands of another have not been baptized the way it was in done in the time of the apostles.
History will confirm that the early church baptism's , which were nothing new to the Jewish converts, were merely an extension of the Jewish Mikvah.
It is accepted among Hewbraic scholars that the earliset converst were baptized naked. They immersed themselves, no one could touch the person immersing themselves.
There's lots more but it's just easier to say it's my way or the hi way (to hell)
Yes Kutless..I think "we" are much more concerned with doctrinal purity than God is.
OK boys ...let the stones fly.
