Grew up in a Lutheran but now attend Church of Christ.

I tried becoming an organist for the Church of Christ, but I ended up in the LCMS instead :-)

Hey! You know what? It’s been so hot and dry in California ...
(wait for it)
the Methodists have been sprinkling and the Churches of Christ are using damp washcloths.
Whoa, hey, what a devout crowd...

What do the Lutherans do for baptism, enviso? A `lick & a promise’ baptism? Odd, my sister was raised ChoCh and switched to Lutheran. When I was baptized at age 13 in the ChoCh, I got dunked, completely submerged.

Remember the story of Achilles: held by his heel by his mother Thetis and dipped in the river Styx?
Well, that rascally rabbit, Paris of Troy shot him in his heel with a pizened arrow and killed him dead.

Better safe than sorry, you don’t want to worry about Hell fire. Of course, there are hundreds of thousands of Protestants, millions of Americans and billions of Earthlings who find this practice more than a little odd; on the other hand, it is scriptural.
It’s a no-brainer. Yeah, go for it.
