You compromising son of a gun. You know if I were to baptize anyone it would be "....In the name Father, the Son of our God the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost our Comforter. May you walk in the Power of the HG all the days of your life" or some similar variation.

Re: Forward Conference 2010
I look at it following Matthew 28:19 and Acts 2:38 to the letter.

Considering the numbers of OPs that are made unhappy by such verbiage, I can't imagine that anyone does this "compromise" solely to make anyone else "happy."
I just dunk folks and then "speak in the Hebrew tongue" for three hours with my eyes closed. This makes no one happy and frees me from all taint of compromise.

One thing is for sure that if I live in the Southeast and not the Southwest I would be going to The Forward Conference every year! Jentezen is one of my favs!

Oh their pre-service was INCREDIBLE!!! It was funny, fun, exciting, relevant (almost too much for this old person), and really cool! They did the best of YouTube videos, we learned different dances, worship aerobics, it was always guys against the girls, it was just fun!!! I loved it! So did our kids...and it was really spiritual on top of all that! A great blend!
As for southwest, are you going to the Call this year with Lou Engle??
