Originally posted by hedrick View PostIt says for the introduction to worship, not the formula for baptism. I wouldn't object to "in the name of the triune God" for baptism, but it would cause ecumenical problems. So I'd stick with the usual formula. We don't have any evidence they're changing baptism.

This is sorta fake news. What they did was add a third version of the baptismal prayer.

(or equi. translations), its not that they've forbidden the traditional forms. Nor is there any directive to avoid such language in place.

"We just want equal rights!" -> "Civil union!!" -> "Marriage!!!" -> "Bake my cake bigots!!!!!!"
Same ol', same ol'. Of course, at all points "why do you say there is slippery slope!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!"

I miss you guys. But I don't miss this forum. I miss what it used to mean to me, but not what it's become post Trump.
The dialogue has become a bit one-sided, and I'm tired of having to re-apply my custom javascript filters that remove posts from trolls and cranks. Once Shunya, seer, Mountain Man and Darth Ex have been muted, there's hardly anyone talking here.

And way to use pity to get me to reply. I won't participate in other threads, or any discussion of sorts though. I might start one thread in the prayer sub-forum about a particular thing though.
Another explanation for my absence is more simple. God has graced me with a full-time job. When I come home I'm tired. :)Last edited by Leonhard; 11-30-2017, 04:43 PM.

The move is one of several taken by the national Evangelical Lutheran church in updating a 31-year-old handbook setting out how services should be conducted in terms of language, liturgy, hymns and other aspects.For Neo-Remonstration (Arminian/Remonstrant ruminations): <https://theremonstrant.blogspot.com>

However, one of man's favorite hobbies is to build a god in the image that man wants him to have.
