Irrational little fears
This is not a jab at anyone, but I just thought this was funny. This stems from a discussion I had using certain words that were felt to be "too big"...
Did you know there is a word for that? Sort of...
Logophobia, fear of words...but wait, there's more
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia- Fear of long words
Of course I had to cut and paste that..I could never remember how to spell it

- That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
- That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
- The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

I think it's misspelled.... but I don't know how to prove that ..... Oh, well, I guess I could prove it just as easily as some folks prove other things on AFF.
