Is that your final answer? Because you weren't just using hyperbole. In two separate threads you promoted baptism by "pouring" instead of immersion. You even posted a pic of some house church (I don't believe it was the one you attended) which baptized by pouring. And you mentioned that more and more house churches were pouring instead of immersing.
I'll be nice and post the links so you don't have to search for them as I did:

"Here's
my portable baptismal. It's quick, easy, costs nothing, and most already have it on hand..."

So again, don't lecture me about Biblical truth, when you promoted baptism by pouring and for years took your family to a non-Apostolic, trinitarian church which doesn't believe in
Acts 2:38.

Or... you'd show chapter and verse for the prohibition you so lovingly adore over your brethren and lay the issue to rest.

How many times must I post this: I am not against beards.
Let me post it again using big letters and color so you can read it clearly:
I AM NOT AGAINST BEARDS
Never have been. I've grown a beard out while in ministry. The church I last served in allowed MWBs in ministry and behind the pulpit.
