I've known about this for many years. They are utilized in the literature of the Institute of Basic Life Principles. In fact, I had the IBLP card game based on it. My boys worked for Bill Gothard and met their wives there. I chatted with Bill about this back in August 2013. I was visiting there at the time from where I live on the East coast, but he happened to be sitting directly in front of me in church in Bolingbrook, IL.

Putting this aside, I still believe that the four chief ordinances for the New Testament local assemblies are those that I gave you. Unhappily, the Baptist distinctives only count two indispensible ordinances about which there is no need for discussion: baptism (immersion) of the professing "believer" and The Lord's Supper.

On another tack, I was not familiar with "In Thy Word" operation. Who are they, and how long have they been in business?

Unhappily??

Indispensable?
What happens to the soul if they ARE 'dispensed' with?
