P.S.
While I am chewing this stuff over in my mind, perhaps some dispensational-types could help Tony with his confusion
. As a non-dispensationalist, I can already see that I interpret Scriptural events from such a different prospective, that discussing an action like baptism (when, where, why) may be completely impossible. If I view the Great Commission as applying to me, and Tony does not, then it makes everything else out of balance, including the mandate to baptize.
To those of you who also still practice baptism, and that do follow one of the dispensational plans: Where do you see the distinction between yourselves and Tony? Where does the timeline get redrawn to include or exclude baptism?
