Hopefully happily surprised!
It just surprised me to finally connect a few things. I was raised to believe that there were certain steps to salvation-five of them, actually. And baptism by immersion was a no brainer to me, since almost everyone I had ever associated believed that. I left home to go to a DoC affiliated college and came in contact with UPC there. What I was taught in classes reinforced much of what I was learning in Bible studies, so again I thought the doctrine should be obvious to anyone with any sense. Others disagreed, even after coming to church, and I couldn't understand why. Now I understand a little better.
Just got off the phone with Mom, and she is stauncher than I thought-started arguing for immersion on the phone! (The same mom who is embarrassed if someone blesses their food.) I had to tell her three times that no one was against immersion on this site before she calmed down.
