I have no problem with Foot washings and communion. I think they are sacred acts of the church. I had the honor of washing Bishop Boyd C. Lawson feet many years ago. What an honor. What I don't see is the act of washing feet as a command in the same way "Thou shalt not commit adultery" is a command. I see foot washing as the brothers said, an act of humility, an example of how we are to submit to one another. And, when coupled with the Lord's Supper, the means by which we commemorate the Lord's death.



What I do have a problem with is what I stated in my last post. The requirements for salvation do not end with Acts 2:38. In fact there seems to be no end to the requiremments for salvation. Stop and think: What, in your view, is required of us to be saved? Repentance? Baptism in Jesus Name? The infilling of the Holy Ghost? What else? List everything you believe is required for a person to make it to heaven. I think you'll discover you are not a 3 stepper after all. 6, or 7 maybe 8, or even a 20 stepper, becaue the list of requirements for salvation goes far beyond Acts 2:38. The Truth sets us free...
