Featured Is Foot Washing an Ordinance at Your Church?

My current church does not.

A church I attended briefly in the late 90's did a foot washing service twice a year. Whether or not it was an ordinance or just something they wanted to do I do not know. It was a charismatic church and I only attended a few months before I had to "run away as fast as I could."

 

Is Foot Washing an Ordinance at Your Church?

No. It's not even an ordinance at my bathtub.

 

Correct, there is no standard for frequency. Some monthly, some quarterly, some annually. I do not know of any who do every week.

I can fellowship with any church, but if they do not hold to feet washing, I would not take membership there.

 

The bible in 1 Tim chapter 5 say's to honor widows that are widows indeed. One of the qualifications of a widow indeed is found in verse 10 where it say's, if she has washed the saint's feet. It didn't say if she washed her own feet or if she washed someone of the worlds feet, but the saint's feet. She was a foot washing baptist.

What may I ask is not clear about that?

 

You friend need oder eaters :laugh:

 

Baptism and the Lord's Supper remind us of the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Footwashing does not meet that criterion.

 

Brother Paul, please forgive me for my oversight of this posting of yours a whiles back. I would want to wash your feet first. I always feel honored to bow at my Brother's feet, to place them, one at a time, in the wash basin, and then drying them with the towel that's girded about my waist.

To those of you who haven't, and/or won't, you don't know the blessing you're missing out on.
