| Oh boy, did it from memory. I am failing fast it seems, slap | |
| wrist and word to self "could do better". | |
| Do we have a 'for instance' of a John baptised person not | |
| getting baptised again before receiving the holy Ghost? It is | |
| a point I admit I have never noticed before. | |

| person not getting baptised again before receiving the holy | |
| Ghost? It is a point I admit I have never noticed | |
| before.[/color][/size][/quote]So far as I know, that is the only | |
| case of anyone being baptized twice. Jesus was baptized by | |
| John the Baptist and I'd say his was fine. There is no mention | |
| that Jesus' disciples were baptized again; and while we read | |
| that Jesus didn't baptize anyone but allowed his disciples to, | |
| we aren't told what words they used. I think God looks at our | |
| intention. If we want to be baptized and believe we were, then | |
| we were. For me, it comes down to faith. We shouldn't doubt | |
| the validity of our baptism. If that section of Acts is | |
| accurate, I guess I disagree with Paul; but perhaps he should | |
| tried laying on them without redoing the baptism. | |
| Another mysterious detail is that the people at Ephesus are | |
| called "disciples." Who were they disciples of? Had some | |
| Christian gone there and told them about Jesus but not about the | |
| Holy Spirit? Were they disciples of John who didn't know? We | |
| aren't told. It's a mysterious passage to me since the Holy | |
| Spirit is mentioned in the Old Testament. They must not have | |
| known much about the Scriptures they had then. | |

| One thing I changed just now is adding the ability to applaud or | |
| smite posts. | |
| [/quote] | |
| Helen often submits encouraging posts but is saddened when | |
| members might be encouraged by reading them but don't reply. | |
| The facility to applaud them goes some way to addressing that | |
| concern. | |
| At least she now might notice that I read and appreciated | |
| 'nuggets'. | |
| It's a pity 'applauds' don't run only with the specific post | |
| which earned the applaud instead of accumulating up | |
| collectively. | |
| But I would be worried that members who do nothing wrong, yet do | |
| not get applauds, might be discouraged from posting. | |
| Perhaps you need to employ an 'applaud evener outer'. ;D | |

| Haha! Good thought. That is one nice thing about Facebook ( for | |
| those of us who like it!! LOL) | |
| One can just click the " like" button rather than have to write | |
| a reply...as you say, on the specific post. | |

| I like the way the site is acquiring the little illustrative | |
| board icons. | |
| More like a 'Beano' and less like 'The Times', eh? | |
| All we need now is a constraining post count. ;) | |

| [/quote]I found an eagle for Helen's board -- hope she likes it. | |
| Sad to say it doesn't show up that often -- only when you hit | |
| "Religious Discussions" and then her board shows up with its | |
| threads. I can always change it if she finds something she | |
| likes better -- but it's got to 60 x 60 pixels. I thought about | |
| using a "wonky donkey" one for you, but I thought maybe you | |
| wouldn't enjoy that as a permanent fixture. If you find an | |
| image that's 60 x 60, let me know the url. | |
