I’m not sure to whom “those guys” refers. Guessing it’s Catholics. And indeed we do have rules. Among them is the complete description of baptism which includes two non-water varieties (blood & desire) most protestants fail to recognize. More importantly, those “rules” never saddle a baby or child (or anyone without malintent) with a sin (in this case, “lapsing”) they never meant to commit—thus the illustration of my sisters’ zeal in water-baptizing (btw, they bapized all the pets, too).

I think anyone who catches the implication of the word “Protestant” realizes that the Church protested against couldn’t possibly be a member of the protest-club.

So far as the Huguenots go, you never mentioned America. South Carolina (particularly the Beaufort/Charleston area) has maintained a community for at least two centures. But I wouldn’t consider them any more evangelical than Episcopalians. Like the Episcopalians, they don’t “evangelize,” don’t publicly preach (and simplify) the gospels.

The Huguenot community in South Carolina is nothing compared to the Huguenot community in New York of course BUT, very importantly, they were called Evangelicals in the early 1500s, the 1600s, the 1700s, and even down to the present time ~ it didn't start in 1855, or 1755.

Currently the French government has an agency making a long term study of the lack of Evangelical churches in the Vondee (probably 'cause Louis XIV killed 'em).

As the Evangelical Huguenots evacuated France they joined Protestant groups abroad ~ of every kind.

You'll notice that I said Sarah said she was aware of her baptism as a baby. From that point on she's conscious of her choice.

Baptisms of pets don't count ~ they live in a state of grace.

BTW, I've made a habit of noticing stories where the leftwingtard writer goes on and on and lists the Catholics with the Evangelicals.

There are an amazingly large number of writers in the MSM who do that.

I think it suggests that they are too ignorant of Christianity to be allowed to talk about it.
