Mode of Baptism

Dear brother Wilson,

I thank you for expressing your concerns.

However, this is really beginning to border on the ridiculous.

I do not “allow for a protective canopy for active, high-handed sin”. This is an active misrepresentation on your part.

Please refer back to that thread to see what I actually said. (Link provided:

As I have formerly mentioned, I don’t think there’s a bunch of early Anabaptists who are going to hell right now because God wants to nitpick at their best attempt to obey what He said in regard to baptism. 

I always qualified what I’ve said to anybody in this thread, by saying that I don’t believe in that kind of a God. Through throughout this thread, I have said that I believe immersion is the mode most consistent with the language used in scripture. That has been my consistent contention. Brother Nathaniel said that he had prayed his prayer while immersing himself in a pool, out of desire to make sure he was obeying God. I do not think he is foolish or misguided. Neither, broadly speaking, do I believe those early Anabaptists were either foolish or misguided. Brother Nathaniel said that he did this before he and I had ever conversed. I don’t think that I am the great tormentor of conscience that you have made me out to be.

Brother Wilson, you have misrepresented me multiple times, which I will presume to be due to a lack of carefulness on your part, rather than any malicious intent.

But regardless, I feel akin to the windmills of Don Quixote. Meaning, I don’t think that i is what you think that i is.

I have been blessed to converse with such dear brethren, 

and I pray that God bless you as you strive to walk in unrelenting faithfulness to the Lord who spared no expense on our behalf.
