“We baptized you when you were little, too. We promised to raise you to trust Jesus. The pastor put water on your head. We use water for washing, and when we baptized you, we asked God to wash away your sins. The pastor said "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" for you, too. That means that he asked God to be your God. Now you belong to him. We all want you to believe in God for yourself, but baptism means that you are never all by yourself. See how the family always comes to baptisms and how the whole church is there? Our family came, too, and we pray for you. The people of the church care for you, too. We teach you and pray for you, so you will belong to God all of your life.”

“It appears dogmatic and absolutistic because, it is dogmatic and absolutistic. The Christian should not be ashamed of this fact. He ought to have the humble boldness to tell a lost world that the Christian message is unconditionally true and the necessary presupposition of all thought (absolutistic), that Christ’s gospel demands repentance (including a “change of mind”), and that God’s word has definite doctrinal content which is authoritatively revealed “directly from above” (dogmatic).”

quickly and easily this comment rolls off the lips of so many people! You would think that rattling off this mantra relieves a person of all the entanglements of doctrinal controversy. After all, doesn't everyone know that "doctrine divides"? This seems to he the conventional wisdom of the day. people today are desperate to escape the snares of dogma, denominations, and other negative religiously entangling controversies. ,lhev believe that the barnacles of doctrinal controversy have scarred the church so badly that we should avoid dogma and doctrine like some kind of a medieval plague.”
