Hi Katisha, glad you're back and congratulations on being eligible for Medicare . I will be turning 65 in April, and it's unreal the number of phone calls and mail that I'm getting about Medicare supplement insurance. Sheeesh!

Re: Things you don't miss about the c of c
A few years ago I read that the lady who wrote "Just As I Am", originally wrote it as a song about coming to the table for Holy Communion. Apparently the Baptists and the CoC liked it a lot better as an altar call/invitation song.

Re: Appearances
Yes, the Mormon church and the CoC are approximately the same age, and both of them have a very strong "restoration" theme going. Most of us know that the CoC claims to have come into being in A.D. 30, but in the book 'The Stone-Campbell Movement' written by Leroy Garrett, he writes that t...

Re: Before Campbell ? Rumney Marsh and Bow Lane
You are absolutely correct about Alexander Campbell receiving a Baptist baptism. On his deathbed in 1866, some of Alexander Campbell's last words were "I have always regretted that the Baptists and we had to part, it ought not to have been so." If old Brother Campbell was still alive today...

Re: We are the only way and there is no other way
I have read the bible all the way through from "Genesis to maps" as they say, and have never found any indication in the holy scriptures that it is important for any group to look exactly like the church of the first century. It seems to me that the primary concern of the holy scriptures i...

Re: Hello again
Hi Shane, glad you're back. There is an Anglican congregation a few miles from me, and I've been thinking about visiting them some Sunday. I hope you'll post about some of your experiences, especially about your decision to become an Anglican.

I like to think of it in this way: When a person gets married they wear a wedding ring, but it's not the ring itself that makes them married. The ring is a public sign that the person has entered into a marriage covenant. Likewise, when a person "gets saved" they get baptized, but it's not...

Re: Effects of Locke on Campbell Stone churches
Try to find a copy of Richard T. Hughes book "Reviving the Ancient Faith -- The Story of the Churches of Christ in America". I discusses Baconianism and its effects on Alexander Campbell in particular, as well as others. Campbell, Stone, and other leaders in the Restoration Movement were d...
