What a nonsense statement to bring into this. Why not cop out and give nothing, then?

The economy is going to fluctuate over the next 3-4 years (and 7-8 years). If surveys like this are done regularly they will indicate corresponding pleasure or displeasure with the party 'in power.' That's just the way it is. But the irony of our political system is that, while we vote according...

I know this is chasing a rabbit off the trail started by the OP, but "from a Christian perspective," how about this case?... On a well-known Dragnet episode from the 60's (color) series, the officer are on a case in which a bomb threat has been called in for 'a school' in a certain area...

Okay. Just wanted to know. I guess it's now official ;) .

I don't know your situation, of course, but let's assume you live in the country, in a rather isolated area, and you and your young child are the only ones in the house. It's the depth of night and you are startled awake and find 2 men have broken in and are pillaging. You get your loaded...

On the matter of the baptizer saying "...in the name of Jesus [only]..." I'm not sure why no one wants any discussion about this, but both polls indicate [expectedly] that it is not popular among voters here. Is it because of its almost sole association with Pentecostal and Apostolic churches...

They don't deny that other life-- particularly intelligent life-- is a major aim. From the article: "The team plans to continue looking for Earth-like, rocky planets around other stars. "With similar observing conditions an Earth-like planet located in the middle of the habitable zone of a...

No; you can click on my name and click on Profile from the dropdown list and see that I am Baptist.

That only occurred to me after I had posted the poll. It should be there, but to give the same answers as the other poll, with only word forms changed, there was no room for it. I tried to see if we can just hit 'vote' and have it cast as nothing (like voting "Present"), but that doesn't work...

With very few exceptions, I only wear shorts doing yardwork.

If your claim is that because Abraham gaves tithes to Melchizadek, not under the Law-- that is, then, under grace-- that means Christians are to be tithers... alright, then it's under grace for a Christian to plunder a region, kill all the people and take the spoils, as long as he gives a tithe...

As the previous poll on baptism got some discussion, but not alot, this is the same poll, but from the opposite perspective-- that is, the question is what practices or associations with baptism do you consider IMproper. The answer options are the same, but each one you choose is what you...

Every time this 'giving ALL' is brought up, I ask the one who brings it up if he/she gives ALL he/she has or makes. The answer, of course, is "No." So what is the point here?

Ever seen this clip before? http://www.gracecentered.com/cannon_ball_baptism.htm

Just 2 quotes-- a short one in Matthew and a much longer one in John=> "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" [Matthew 3:13] ... I erased the quotes from John 1 because there is actually no proof he said those word AT Jesus' baptism. It is not recorded. Not 'technically'...

Those are the points I was making, so I do understand.

It is almost 40 years now since I was baptized; it was in the month of May, but I don't remember the date. Anyway, back then there was never any clapping or cheering-- it was very solemn. We were even told by the pastor that when we turned around (either when coming to or going from the...

It seems hard to believe he was an announcer almost 3 times as long as he was a head coach. When his face appeared in the shot, my dad used to call him "Old Pig." In selecting announcers today, I'm not sure if the networks deliberately choose those who don't show a lot of originiality, or...

No. When Nixon was drawn with an exaggeratedly large nose and his receding hairline exaggerated, was that racist? Political cartoons that exaggerate features and make caricatures have been around since Thomas Nast or before.

I know that is not expected to be much of a conflict on this board, but there are churches out of the Pentecostal tradition that insists upon saying the words "baptize you... in the name of ..Jesus.." And indeed, that is found in several NT scriptures, beginning with Acts 2:38-- "Peter said to...
