For information on why Christians are concerned about Beck becoming America’s religious leader see post 207.

A post that on the topic that you increasingly seem to be avoiding.

Didn’t seem to bother Sarah Palin. She appeared proudly with Glenn Beck at the rally. Even had tears in her eyes.

I applaud her for it.

Erm..... I posted #207. It says nothing about Mr. Beck's supposed pretensions of religious leadership.

I suppose you meant a different post, to which I did not pay attention. It's hard to "avoid" something unless you've seen it first.... But hey: anything to change the subject, right?

I suppose it's possible that Mr. Beck has such pretensions. So, for that matter, do some of those garden variety Evangelical leaders. But they're doomed to failure in any case so I'm not going to worry about it.

But back to baptism, and the question you're avoiding.

Does the efficacy of baptism depend on the church under whose authority it is practiced, or does God care more about the intent of the individual who is being baptized?
