Brother Tony:
I am asking you to refrain from the taunting. It is not honorable. I have no fear to DEBATE this issue with you. I am quite "up to discussing" the issue if I felt that it would be fruitful. Would you respond any differently if it were I who gave the Scriptural references that others already have? I don't think so. Would my words carry greater weight with you than others' words have? I doubt it. So tell me, what use is there to continue a fruitless argument? So one of us can declare himself a winner? I have no interest in such. You are wrong with this doctrine. Two millinia of godly saints have practiced baptism with no doubt in its appropriateness. It will continue to be practiced by faithful followers of Christ until He returns. Only then will it end. How you interpret the Scriptures as a whole affects your point-of-view on this issue, and no amount of Scriptural evidence or "discussion" on my part is going to change you. I ask that you leave my name out of any further discussion by you on this topic. Thank you.
