Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

The pastor even kind of addressed this yesterday in the sermon dealing with the first chapter of Mark mentioning the baptism and Jesus and then a brief mentioning of the church doing baptisms in February. It basically went like "So I know here in Minnesota there's tons of people raised Catholic and Lutheran and if you were you were likely baptized as a baby. So you might ask if that's OK and if you should be baptized again, well my policy on argument is basically just "don't have them", so I'll say if you were baptized as a baby and are OK with that, fine. But if you do want to be rebaptized, we'll definitely be willing to do so and if you want a reason why, here's my very theological one: Baptism is awesome."

That bit about your confirmation by the way sounds weird to me, way different from mine or my cousin's I was at a few months ago. I have to say I much prefer the modern day style though without creepy white robes. Still far less casual than the baptism style we'll be having in February which will be a bunch of people in T-shirts and ripped jeans getting dunked in water while everyone cheers.
