What you don’t understand, is that when Fred said he was baptized into the church of Christ that is just exactly what that means. He believed in Jesus and was baptized.
Dobson didn’t understand that either. Not every church has the same way of expressing that they believe.
It is a false accusation to say Fred did not say he believed in Jesus, because he did say he believed in Jesus in the manner of his personal faith.
The church of Christ that Fred grew up in does not do “testimony” statements like some churches do and there are theological reasons for it.
Asked by reporters later to clarify his stance on religion, Thompson said: ``Me getting up and talking about what a wonderful person I am and that sort of thing, I'm not comfortable with that, and I don't think it does me any good. People will make up their own mind about that, and that's the way I like it.''
Christianity = "getting up and talking about what a wonderful person I am"
No, I think I understand and sadly we had to "make up" our "own mind about that".
