Just curious.
I have brought this subject up myself.
Now, the way I personally like to do footwashing, is with ladies of like mindedness. When we gather together in our home after a time of fasting, and then wash each others feet and pray over them together.
For instance I would invite about 5-7 ladies to come over. We would have a time of prayer and then we would have one lady sit in the chair and we would each wash her feet and all of us would pray over that lady.
I liked to do this in January of each year. We would pray over each lady that God would use her this year to do His will, etc.
Always had a special of move of God.
We all fasted before coming that day.

That is what the study of hermeneutics is...determining when the Scripture was written, to whom and the purpose. It gives a clear interpretaion of the Word so that one doesn't follow every wind of doctrine.
So, without study and just from cursory reading, I took it as being for a specific moment and purpose.
But according to
I Timothy 5:10, I was wrong...it was practiced in the early Church.
I am not too
proud to admit my error, even if I don't care for FW...
