This was actually a pretty good thread. Too bad it died out. You defended the paedobaptist position very ably.

Took a new (slightly better-paying) job, buying a house...

...So I've had little time for FReeping of late.

But, yes -- this is one of 2 or 3 threads I would like to return to at a later date.

Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed the debate very much, and look forward to its good natured (probably on-again off-again) continuation.

That said, I must state again for the record: it is my belief that you have behaved acrimoniously towards certain anaBaptist Elders of the Church of Jesus Christ, in the past. As a communicant member of the Presbyterian Church ("the Church of the Elders"), it is impossible for me to simply "let sleeping dogs lie" on such a matter. I believe that as a Christian Layperson, you have a duty to seek reconciliation with any of your Brethren; how much the more, then, with any Elders (even though they be not your Elders in terms of Local Administration).

I am not stating this with any attached assignation of "blame" for the events in question. Rather, I am simply stating that you do have a Duty to seek reconciliation prior to each participation in the Lord's Supper. This may stick in your craw; this may stick in their craw. But it is a Christian Duty nonetheless, and may not be summarily forgotten. As always, IMHO.

Best,
(the-quite-busy) Uriel
