Acts 29 has posted a statement mostly dealing with the baseless accusations made by the Missouri Baptist Convention "Theological Sub-committee." Thank goodness for this article.

The Chairman of the committee had this to say, “We are living in a day and age where we need doctrinal precision and we need to

Wade Burleson has a wonderful post this morning that considers the idea, once again, of baptism and its relationship to the church. Wade contemplates the idea of whether baptism is into a church or into Christ and, of course, I agree with his conclusion. I would encourage you to read it!
