There are at least two reasons that I'm interested in this. First, in my experience there are some independent Christian churches who teach and practice biblical conversion doctrine. Second, I think we can learn from their success in church planting.

Someone in the church where I attend, who was converted in a Christian Church, sums up the ICC attitude toward baptism this way, "Don't ask, don't tell." Even their <A HREF="http://www.christianstandard.com/articledisplay.asp?id=568" REL="nofollow">own literature </A> indicates an internal ambiguity toward the mode of salvation. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the update Alan.<BR/><BR/>PhilPhil Spadarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388644328819762779noreply@blogger.com
