I guess I'll go vote for the best reformer. It's sad that after the reform the modern version of the churches some of those reformers started doesn't resemble their beginnings. Would Luther feel at home in a Lutheran church? Would Wesley feel at home in a Methodist church?
Do you think modern day apostolics resemble the apostolic church of the book of Acts?

The "it just happens" debate leads me to question God's justice in mercilessly killing small children in the violent storms that He unleashes and then guides with unerring accuracy right at the place where the innocent ones have tried to seek shelter. Since I don't accept that God is in the storm, the fire from heaven or these other physical phenomena, I don't have a problem accepting Him as just everytime a child dies a cruel and painful death due to malevolent weather.
And, yes and no to the last question. If an Apostle from the 1st century was to walk up to a group of us baptizing a convert in the river, they would probably understand what was going on. If they were in a fiesty mood that might ask why we didn't baptize the convert "correctly" however. I mean, who is "Gee-sus"? The Apostles used the name "Eashoa'."
