The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Infant baptism

I too, wouldn't war over the issue of water, my intent is ever just to stimulate and discuss. As for our children, I would never allow my children to grow without any type of teaching. We use Starr Meade's book "Training Hearts and Teaching Minds" as an evening devotional book. For anyone that still has young children, it is an excellent book for devotions. Teaching in a church that holds different views than the teacher, doesn't always work, even if there are good intentions. The teacher is going to feel obligated to teach their convictions if they are questioned. I was teaching for a while, and the people kept asking me about predestination. I tried to keep away from it, but the subject came up because I was teaching thru the book of Romans. Long story short, I was canned because I taught the WHOLE counsel of God. I tried to avoid the issue but it kept being pressed. I even informed the class that this is my stance, not the church's, and they should search the scriptures themselves, but it didn't fare well with the pastor. I'm a little gun shy about teaching anymore, because I'm unable to find a church whose doctrine agrees with mine concerning predestination in this area. That reminds me, I'm reading another excellent book right now called "Whatever Happened to the Reformation". Really gives a good view of "Openness Theology" [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/puke.gif" alt="puke" title="puke[/img].<br><br>Mike
