What this survey and others proved was that we will not receive your polemics - and you will not receive ours. PS I do not 'fight' with Mike and Jim just 'joust' with respected fellow Christians. __________
Oh well; thanks anyway for the link to Owen you posted some time back
Well Presby; Iv'e tried on two occasions to open dialouge with you, but it appears you are would rather Fight with Mike and Jim, instead of Fellowship with a deepwater brother that has other things in common with you.

Thanks for that link on Owen. I've been trying to find that quote for some time.
I know I could have these age old controversies solved for me by the many wise theologians here who Google and post. But, call me eccentric, I like to get actual books by actual theologians, read, study, compare and come up with a well reasoned response.
Good thing for you though that there are people in my camp that can set you strait with a single post. After all, you have probably never heard these things before.
Oh, I almost forgot. The artice is about watering down in order to get them in. The baptism is just the example. But why look at the larger issue when you can start an argument about a particular?
