Featured Baptists against Belivers Baptism

Thankfully, we do not hold as others that one msut be water baptized, as my wife parents were SO concerned that we delayed batizing them as late as we did, as concerned would have gone to limbo if died!

 

I assume when you write "we do not hold that one must be water baptized" that you mean you do not hold one must be water baptized in order to be born again and have eternal life. I certainly agree. On the other hand, I believe one must be water to be obedient to the command of Christ.

 

You are correct, as that was I meant!

 

Typical LOL

 

Right, typically follow scripture. Lol

 

Ah, typical VBS ... along with Patch the Pirate

 

So again, it’s a sin forgiveness thing... an atonement.

 

Patch the Pirate...wasn't he with Paul during the shipwreck? Nice guy, overall though.

 

I thought he was Captain MORGAN. Arrrr

 

Off topic, but what's your issue(s) with Patch the Pirate?

 

My issue is with VBS

 

Atonement and payment was at the Cross, not in the water!

 

IMO, VBS is good or not good according to how it is conducted, especially when it comes to presenting the Gospel and seeking a response. The desire for "numbers" can lead to unbiblical actions and conclusions, but I see no inherent evil in gathering kids to learn about God and hear about His salvation.

 

Vbs is useful to treach children baout Jesus, but we should be dubious of just how many real salvationa are occuring among the very young!

 

Vacation Bible School. Usually done during summer vacation for the kids.

 

Vacation Buible School, where the parents have the church babysit couple hrs a night for entire week!

 

I've also seen this Mon-Fri event called "Five-Day Club." Our church holds VBS 9-12 AM, lots better for outdoor games and activities, after which the snow-cone machine is a huge favorite. The closing/graduation ceremony is the Sunday evening service following VBS, and parents are encouraged to come and watch their kids get awards. A number of adults have come to Christ as a result of this service.
