Do you still believe in/practice foot washing?

Simple question: do you still believe and practice actual, literal footwashing?

No.

Not "actual literal" foot washing, but I try to follow the principle of it, which was what the lesson was about.

Yes.
It is a Bible command, just like repentance is a Bible command, and baptism is a Bible command.

Why wouldn't you do this?

Your right, it's not. It was a situation that Jesus turned into a spontaneous object lesson on humility. If those adamant on ceremonial foot washing were to be honest, they would only do it with women washing the feet of men, with their hair.

Doesn't have to be a woman and it doesn't have to be with hair.

It is a command, but I will submit that while it is on par with baptism and communion, it is not on par with repentance and I wish I had corrected my original post immediately as this is what I believe.
