    I love it, Michael. You're right even when you don't think you are.

    No, I would not.

    To describe baptism, child or otherwise, as a sacrament is something totally foreign to most Baptist churches, or even baptistic churches. Baptists do not consider baptism as sacramental. It is a symbol for professing believers only.

    Further, believer's baptism is not just a tradition. It is a scriptural mandate.

    And....then Thomas is absolutely right....and Mr. Strobel....(so-called) was therefore either ignorant or lying if he identified himself as a "quasi-Baptist"....It may then be the case that (at leat as modern parlance is concerned)....that self-identification as a "Baptist" should be mandatory....as the Mod seemed to demand, because anyone who would freely belong to a Church with this Statement of Faith, is then NO Baptist....again, as the Mod stated. Even considering the word "Sacrament" in reference to Baptism should raise a serious flag.

    This, that I quote vindicates the Mod for throwing someone out on their "Plachenko"
    That is NOT a Baptist.

    I must have missed something. How is Cherry Hills connected with Mr. Strobel?
