Thanks for the post. I remember reading this before but it still sickens me.
Heathen,
Yes, the wt does have it backwards like most everything else. Christians generally are called to Christ in a "come as you are" mode. The changes then take place within the heart, not by man's rules, but by the Spirit of God.
DJ-- We can fianlly agree on something here.It is clear in the bible that it is God who calls those to him , many are called yet few are chosen . The point being IMO is that only those that truely hunger and thirst for righteousness will continue to grow in spirituallity the rest will be removed from the congregation by the same means that they were called , the holy spirit. This I think is the sepperating the wheat from the chaff.
Heathen,
You are 100% correct.
You all have it wrong.
Don't you remember the eunich that asked phillip the question...."What prevents me from being baptised"?
Phillip then said.."Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s spirit-directed organization?
