    I agree. All to many Baptists have adopted the Sacerdotalism of apostate Rome, thinking the ordinances are the property of the clergy (IE, elevated priesthood) rather than the church itself. The Great Commission was given to the New Testament church, and the ordinances are church ordinances, not belonging to any individual.

    And there we see the terrible sins of the Nicolaitans right here on the Baptist Board. "Nicolaitans." "Dividers of the people." Dividing the people into "Clergy" and "laity." How utterly sad that so many so-called Baptists have snuggled up to the Roman Whore. :(

    Ho w do you see this fitting into Baptist churches with pastors who deem themselves as untouchable by the laity, and claim 'Touch not God's anointed!' upon themselves?

    They are churches out of order.

    It may be that they are more than "out of order" and have, in the words of the Second London Confession, "degenerated as to become no churches of Christ, but synagogues of Satan." Paul's writings are clear about the respect (and support) due to elders and to the special responsibility and accountability they have. Yet there is no excuse to jettison the precious doctrine of the priesthood of the believer, to be exercised responsibly within the bounds of the church.

    BINOs? There is nothing less Baptist than "being lords over God's heritage" (1 Peter 5:3).

    Amen! I was baptized in a Plymouth Brethren chapel.
    However, it was by immersion, it was upon my profession of faith in Christ, and that is all that is required.

    "What we have done: We have taken the great, sanctified Baptist doctrine of the priesthood of the believer, and made it to cover every damnable heresy that mind could imagine! It’s a tragedy--it's a tragedy." ~ W.A. Criswell

    Exactly which "damnable heresy" am I supposed to have been defending?
