â€œEquivocationâ€ is a fine word when used correctly, which in your post, Neil, it was not. The nearest equivalent idiomatic expression would be â€œbeating around the bush.â€ I have a ton of faults, but beating around the bush generally isnâ€™t one of them.

Equivocation: "The use of expressions susceptible of a double signification, with a purpose to mislead." Maybe you don't intend it, but that's the effect.

And Immersion (mode) isn't my point; Credobaptism (subject) is. Even E. Orthodox baptize by immersion. I would like to see documentary evidence of Waldensian Credobaptism from sources not having an ax to grind (namely, Baptists). And even if you're right, it only proves it dates back to the 12th Century at the earliest (i.e. Peter Waldo's lifetime).

Pretty shaky to split a denomination over, which is what Landmarkists did to Southern Baptists back in the 1850s. As if there wasn't enough division already.

Fallacy of Equivocation: The NT does not imply John the B was a "Baptist" in the same sense as during the Reformation, just because he immersed repentant folks. We have no Biblical evidence of his beliefs about NT church order. He was the last OT prophet, not an NT apostle or elder. And weren't some of his followers re-baptized into the church (Acts 19)? That would be strange if he were a Baptist like you and me.

And please show me which sect practiced believer's baptism (which Paedobaptists may do with adults) before the Reformation. I can't find any, though some may be lost to history given the RCC's power.

Kieron: So where did you get your ideas about pre-Reformation Baptists, if not from "Trail of Blood?"

Fun fact: The Westminster Confession also endorses pouring, which is what some Anabaptists do. Presbys rarely mention this.

I'll like to make it known that Baptists aren't Protestants. They came way before the Reformation, from the Apostles to today.

Speak for yourself. Anyone who does not want to identify with basic Protestant or Reformed doctrine (i.e. The 5 Solas) is not my brother.

Landmark Successionism is a historical myth borne of wishful thinking; Baptists, General and Particular, clearly emerged from the Reformation. And Anabaptists were a reaction to the Reformation.

Mormons (who are legion in AZ) remind me of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers:" polite, clean-living White Men much like myself, but like Progressives, on a distant planet theologically.

Funny how you zero in on the Sabbath issue and say nothing of the others. My point is not this so much as the Moral Law, but then, maybe you deny the other nine as well.

And how is resting once a week slavery? Maybe it's a burden to workaholics and reprobates, but it's a blessing to me.

Bitter fruit of the all-out attack on monogamy and "repression" during the 1960s, though this may have had roots earlier in the century. The World Wars were likely contributors; how many soldiers consorted with prostitutes? The US Army even had films warning soldiers about VD during WW2. And I found a lascivious postcard in my late father's WW2 scrapbook; maybe that's why he never shared it with us.

"[We] need to focus far less on entrepreneurialism and skills and start taking character far more seriously."

Blogger "Captain Obvious" here doesn't get the Big Picture: Given the widespread contempt for or disregard of the Ten Commandments (Antinomianism). which is rarely taught systematically in even conservative churches owing to a misrepresentation of what "Legalism" is, it is no surprise that God is not feared and pragmatism rules.
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."

The Mormon Church Amassed $100 Billion

No wonder; for Mormons to get a "Temple Recommend," they MUST tithe 10%, and not merely to their local ward, but to directly to HQ in Salt Lake.

Mormons can't have much "downtime," for I have the impression that laymen are kept very busy with required Temple duties.

I am thankful we have liberty in Christ not to have our consciences bound by the doctrines and practices of mere men. His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

Actually this may not be so bad: better not to use Our Lord's name at all than as a swear word or to promote falsehoods, which one finds even in traditional hymns.

To think that many churches sponsor Super Bowl Parties on their campuses, ostensibly to evangelize the beer-guzzling sport fanatics who otherwise would never attend.

I once saw a Nissan fully painted in Green Bay livery. Now there's material for a sermon on the 2nd Commandment.

Probably because of 1) shame, and 2) little hope her charges would be taken seriously by cowardly male leadership less interested in justice than in institutional self-preservation. Protect the important man at all costs, be he a priest or politician, and if the accuser makes even a minor mistake in procedure, jump on them for it.

Contrary to what self-deluded feminists think, women have always needed to be protected against cads like this, in churches ever since 1 Sam. 2:22: "Now Eli ... heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."

And of course women can in turn falsify such charges too. This is why prudent leaders should keep their office doors open when meeting with women.

So often do we see breathless, sensationalistic science headlines published which come to nothing later (remember Cold Fusion), I wouldn't jump to conclusions, as they admit to facing "many hurdles."

Moore makes a Hasty Generalization, and in any case, what naÃ¯ve academics like him don't understand is, Christians want rulers who will let them alone, and however flawed Trump may be, he's tons better than Commie Democrats who reward immorality and persecute the righteous.

Besides, Moore constantly pontificates on political issues and endorses "Christian Democracy," a species of Catholic Social Teaching. Sounds like he has transgressed your "political neutrality" doctrine.

Sure you want to popularize this "Dominionist" as a credible source?

Hebrews 11 tells us about faith which radically changed lives:
"...And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth."

Totally foreign to the American experience, though this may change soon.

Since Dispy Premillers like Ryrie like to argue they're Biblical Literalists and their opponents are guilty of "spiritualizing" prophecy, consider that the Gk. word for "mark" used in Rev. 13 is "chÃ¡ragma," which according to Strong's G5480 means a stamp or engraving.
To claim that a microchip under the skin answers to this definition, instead of a simple brand or tattoo as the Romans used on slaves and soldiers, violates their Literalism principle.

Please answer my question, then. If you're correct, then your credit card, if it's chipped, is no less a sign of the Beast.

Baptist John Gill and his contemporaries had a totally different and perhaps more plausible view of the Mark. They identified the Beast as the RCC, alluding to how slaves had marks of their masters, but it's no longer fashionable to even consider that take on Biblical prophecy, as the Pretrib/Premill view has a stranglehold on the church today.

BTW I'm on the fence with End Times, as no view is bulletproof, and I'm not a fan of getting such ID tags inserted.

Junk statistics. 1st, MattressFirmâ„¢ commissioned the study, so researchers had a Conflict of Interest. 2nd, what's normal? I recall Puritan Richard Baxter claiming he needed only 4 hrs sleep, yet the man was hugely productive. Napoleon also got about that much.

Corrupt stores might.

OK, my stupid oversight. So what must such a mark contain that would make it uniquely of the Beast rather than someone/something else? Is my personal identification info, such as used by banks and the IRS, already of the Beast, but OK so long as it's not in my body?
