Are you capable of imagining I'm throwing a tantrum?
Sure, why not. Keep imagining.
When you get back to reality, remind yourself that you tried to tell me that a diverging view that amounts to 0.00009 % of groups counts as widespread.
That way we can both laugh together.
Widespread indeed.
You have a short memory. We've discussed three christian schisms, and within those three schisms, two different sub-sects. For reference...and to help the forgetful...we've discussed catholics, protestants, and a specific type of methodist, individually. These three groups can't agree on this item - which you've agreed is core.. These three groups, alone, account for -slightly- more than .00009% of christians...... Just the first two, who disagree with each other on this an of course , other, items.... account for roughly 2 billion people (or so those organizations claim). Yes...widespread, indeed.
Why is this a problem for you...I don't understand? You can't defend your faith or your claims against reality...and there's no need to.....since reality is simply telling us that christianity is as diverse as those who follow it..... If I were your pastor, I'd be disappointed. You've done nothing in this thread except for disrespecting the faith and the body of the faithful. The road you're on doesn't lead to grace. Now, I may not believe in grace, but you do...so it's something to think about.
Are you sure you're remembering things correctly?
What is the relevant difference between Catholics and Protestants on baptism that is not a matter of preference or practice?
