I look upon baptists as brothers/sisters in Christ . Little brothers and sisters.

So you look, more or less, down upon us because we are not like you? I don't take offense at things often or very easily, but I have to say that it bugs the excrement out of me when people are closed-minded like that. I get frustrated with some of the elder people in my church who think Baptists are going to be the only ones in heaven, and your attitude doesn't seem much different than their's...although maybe not to the same extreme. No offense is intended though by my post.

As far as baby dedications are concerned, I have seen a couple of them at the church I used to attend before taking the youth minister job I am at now. Frankly, I never understood what the point was. All they did was have the moms come to the front of the church, stand in a line across the front of the sanctuary, hold their babies, and then the church prayed for the families. I didn't think it was all bad but I didn't understand why they called it a dedication if they really didn't dedicate anything rolleyes2 .
