Why the "There are so many interpretations of the Bible" claim is confused
RE: Why the "There are so many interpretations of the Bible" claim is confused
Quote:For one, it's a single denomination. 
Indeed it is, and a much larger number of people think that they are wrong, that baptism is necessary.  Though this may often be the only thing they agree upon, that some other guy is wrong.

Quote:Compared to other denominations that affirm water baptism, it's a drop in the ocean. It simply won't do to predicate "soooooo muchhhh doctrinal divergence, bro" on 1 out of 33,000 denominations. There it lets the atheists down.
You've been given 3 examples out of 33k.........lol. We could continue, but we're 3 for 3 already. Are you expecting that to change?

Quote:As well, it freely allows people to practice water baptism, and explicitly and repeatedly makes clear there's nothing wrong with people doing it. It doesn't say "baptism is wrong". So that's a mark against it too. 
Also clearly states that those who believe it to be necessary -are- wrong, in their opinion.  You wouldn't happen to have any definitive word on this would you, btw?
