    My step mum is getting baptised into the Mormon church. As a Christian should I attend?

    So my step mum raised me since I was about 10 years old. My real mum moved away and has remained in my life but we don’t speak often. I became a born again Christian a few years ago and while I don’t support the Mormon church (I am aware that their baptism isn’t a true Christian baptism), I feel...

    If baptism saves...

What I mean by that is if salvation saves (which is usually administered upon infants) why does the Bible seem to suggest that the initial act of salvation begins when a person puts their faith...

    Credobaptism vs Pedobaptism

    I'm not sure where I stand on this. That is why I would like to hear what others think. I am somewhat leaning more towards Credobaptism because: There is no explicit mention of a baby being baptized in the NT No early church writings say anything about pedobaptism. To the contrary, they only...

    A beautiful perspective on the Priesthood

    I read this quote from the much respected Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Hierotheos Vlachos, which to me underscores the concept of the priesthood and episcopate in the traditional churches: “The Priest holds a great position in the Divine Liturgy, because he asks the Father to send the Holy...
