I2, this is a bigtime arguement and maybe I shouldn't have bit at Emiles worm that he was wiggling. I will tell you this. Water baptism is the instrument that has caused so much division in the Church and id the reason for all the different 40 or so major denominations. The Catholics sprinkle. The Baptists want you dunked in there denomination whether or not you have been baptised in another denomination before you can join their church. The charismatics believe that you must be water baptised and as an indication of the Holy Spirit, you must talk in gobbledygook. If you will do a study in Paul's epistles, which is our latest marching orders from our Lord, you will see that he has told us;
Ephesians 4:
"4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
A dispensationalist is one who studies the Word of God "rightly divided," as He commands us to do.
I suggest that we honor all Christians, and study the Bible ourselves, to show ourselves approved of God.
Regards,
James
