Your foot is still stuck in the Pentecostal stirrup and you have been dragged through Neo-Phariseeism. You believe you are a deconstructionist who is bringing a deeper meaning to all who are baptized.
But it is only Aldous Huxley's First Church of the Brave New World.
They are being baptized!
Into what?
It's in Jesus name!
Which Jesus?

I don't see you as a "wet blanket". Just as not having a clue. You are certainly entitled to your beliefs and views as I am. I honestly don't expend a lot of energy worrying about what christians who believe differently than me think about my beliefs. I do take offense at ignorant and sarcastic things said about my pastor by people who don't know him. The snarky insinuations that he is not sincere, etc.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
