  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Can you just imagine (listen closely and try to hear) and entire student section filled with Praxeas' and Praxeas wannabes, chanting at the "Horseshoe" for a home game vs Michigan.

Wow. Makes me want to just start running and just charge at anything wearing a blue-n-gold winged helmet.
