Featured Didache text origin 1056 AD first pub. 1883.

Post an argument - from a legitimate source on the subject - that believes the Didache was written after the 5th Century AD and we'll go from there.

 

The Didache is not biblical. I never said it was. Even those who referenced it in the early 4th Century didn't accept it as Scripture.

You chose to make a false argument (another's false argument) about the Didache because it isn't biblical. That is not right.

The point isn't whether it is biblical but what was practiced.

You thought "thrice baptized" was humorous, but this was actually practiced. It was practiced by immersion in the 6th Century and even today by immersion (with infants)....which is kinda funny if you've ever seen it.

 

I agree. I've seen his arguments before- often with trinitarian doctrine. I think sometimes people approach Scripture in order to defend their beliefs rather than to learn what to believe. So when they find something that doesn't connect they have to find a way to get rid of it.

 

Ps.....don't know why that is blue.

Edit - or this. Confused

 

The infant baptism you mention is in the Orthodox tradition.

Triple immersion for adults is still practiced by some Anabaptist groups. The Church of the Brethren, for example, practices triple immersion in a forward position while the Mennonite Brethren are baptized three time backwards.

 

Grace Communion is more or less orthodox now, but many splinters from Armstrongism remain and hold to most if not all his teachings about ceremonial law, the divine Family of God (no, not Three, but many), British Israelism, etc. Netle seems to be in the splinter camp.

 

Yes. It moved away from the doctrines Netle teaches. In his website he speaks the of Armstrong's doctrine (Armstrong founded the church) and attributed his being fired as a pastor to the churches moving away from this doctrine and into what he believes to be the satanic doctrine of the Trinity invented by the Catholic Church in the 11th Century.
