I’ll bet you didn’t know that the modern tongues/sign gifts movement has it’s roots in the theology of Rome? I’ll bet you didn’t know that?

No, but I can’t say you are right or wrong about that. I haven’t looked at it very closely.

I’ll bet you didn’t know that the backbone of refomed theology ie: “covenant theology” comes stright out of Rome?

By covenant theology I assume you mean infant baptism? I wasn’t baptized as an infant so I don’t have to defend it. I do know that the practice was around as early as the second century. It was an issue discussed by Tertullian. Therefore, it was practiced by the persecuted church, long before the authorities in Rome decided to adopt Christianity as its official religion. I also know that in at least one Catechism (Lutheran-Augsberg?) it says that if a person who grows up without faith, their baptism is without effect. I am not dogmatic about the mode of baptism. Neither was the Apostle Paul. (1 Cor. 13-17).

Augustinian monk, I guess fatboy wasn’t the only student asleep in class.
