If the wording or name isnt important, then in acts 19 the people were asked how they were baptized, they said in Johns baptism. Then they got re-baptized in the name of Jesus.

so paul missed the boat?

That is because they did not know of Jesus and what he did, they did not know the gospel. This is an important part

4”And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.”

They had not come to the internal reality of following Jesus. Once they did, they were baptized into Him

I am not saying you baptize with any name, like Budah or something, what I am saying is God isn’t going to care if you say Jesus or Father, Son, Spirt since it is an outward sign of an internal truth

I can't imagine what it costs to feed that.

Still got Glock?

Tested out some different ammo today. Best groups came from Federal Auto Match making one hole at 50 yards. Then shot it at a 4” plate I have at 200 yards. I’m not adding or changing anything except a cheek riser and an arca rail and change the scope out. Gonna use it as a base class rifle in NRL22. Might lower the trigger pull a little but the stock trigger is pretty good as it sits now.

Both groups were shot at 50 yards with federal auto match. One 5 and one 10 shot group. The 10 shot group opened up some but that’s mostly me I think.

I would never, ever, ever canoe or kayak in lake Kissimmee.
I've been on that water in 22' boats and some of the big bull gators would actually come towards the boat.
Not sure if it's due to idiots feeding them, or if they have learned to steal hooked fish from the line.

That lake and also lake Hancock are totally polluted with gators.

Here's two hours worth of gator hunting on Hancock.

I don’t know much (anything) about Lake Kissimmee, but they say you can walk across Texas’ Caddo Lake without getting wet; just sorta hopping from gator to gator.

So if i go in a catholic place to get baptized, am i all good if i get sprinkled by the priest “in the names of the father, the name of the son, the name of the holy spirit”

Then it will be in the back of my mind that im not obeying Peter.

Or am i ok if i go to another place that dunks me all the way under the water, in the name of Jesus?

Baptism doesn’t save you, Grace through faith and not of works saves you. So no matter how you are baptized, if you think that just getting baptized makes you all good and don’t have faith, no you will not be saved. Baptism is not some magic thing you to gain salvation

Seller is good to go!

Yessir. Saw your other post. I’d rather stay out of these types of conversations while typing on a phone. More often than not, especially amongst believers for “some reason”, there’s just division that gets slung around and someone outside the body of Christ watching gets turned way off seeing Christians arguing like a bunch of children (with the greatest of intentions). I certainly don’t know much about it other than;
It’s real
It exists and
It’s not always as benevolent as it comes across as.

1- I'm not arguing, just relating my actual experience. You're free to draw any, or no, conclusion, as you wish.

2- Also from personal experience I can agree that not all the energy forms we encounter in the non physical world are benevolent. I've met a few that werent. Thats why we're told to "Try the spirits." Which I've done. I cant testify as to your experience, but mine is that when you know, you know, that you know. Truth resonates as does falsehood.

3- Sadly, most, even those who call themselves Christians, aren't aware, or only superficially aware, that if we live in the Holy Spirit and he in us, we are given power over all those spirits. A sobering thought.

Of course i cant fully understand everything about anything.
But what Jesus says in Matthew 28 sounds simple enough. Then Peter said to get baptized in the name of Jesus.

Did Peter say the wrong thing?

Click to expand...

No because baptism doesn’t involve some magic incantation that must be said correctly in order to work. Simon the sorcerer was chastised for thinking something similar. We use God’s name as reverence and as a confession, but the exact wording isn’t what is important. Remember baptism is an outward confession of an internal reality

The fact is Peter is speaking to the people who just crucified Jesus. He says in the name of Jesus Christ (which in Hebrew is messiah) to highlight that it is the man that they just crucified that has power and authority. That it was Jesus they just crucified that was their messiah. What Peter said would not have had such weight if he said be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit. Jesus says this to emphasize the plurality of the Godhead. With that I always baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Spirit because that is what Jesus said

Was this a one time fight or is this beyond marriage counseling? If you are serious it sounds more like time for a divorce. Sell the rig and look for a 2 year old Origen or other rem 700 clone that takes prefits. Find a stock/chassis on the PX as well and get a new barrel. It’s spring and new love is in the air.

kind of a sundress

Update? ;-]

Gonna throw myself out there on this one. I am not an expert or a professional. I don’t get paid to kill pigs or varmints, and have spent a shit ton of money over the years trying out equipment to be more effective and efficient at killing pigs, coyotes, and raccoons after dark. I am blessed with a family ranch running cattle in West Texas and have hunting access to around 1500 acres. I and people I invite out (not paid, usually friends and their kids) kill on average 75 pigs and 10+ coyotes and raccoons per year. I’ve killed personally well over 1k pigs over 40 years of hard hunting when I can in my lifetime. I have no axe to grind in this discussion. I have no monetary benefit in making my recommendations. Just lessons learned and the ability to provide some perspective for those following in my footsteps. If I had to start all over again spending my money I would do this in order of priority:
1. 640 handheld scanner. Detection is king. If you know it’s there you can walk up close enough and shoot it in the face with a brief white light and red dot. I have walked 800m through a deep muddy field thinking pigs were at the end to kill, only realizing as I got close that it was jackrabbits. Resolution matters here, especially if you are inexperienced.
2. DTNVGs. I’ve got thousands of hours driving around with 7s and 14s in military in combat and training and they suck. Spent lots of money on high spec DTNVGs and it’s an absolute game changer. Can hunt for hours on end without headaches or eye fatigue. With illum I can typically see animals in fields (THIS IS OPEN COUNTRY WEST TEXAS, NOT FORESTED COUNTRY) well before I need to grab the thermal. I also typically hunt out of my 4Runner, which is WAY more comfortable and carries more shit than using a Ranger or 4 wheeler. Thermal doesn’t work through glass (but does in side mirrors with windows open!) so NVGs work best for ME. If I was dismounted or in an open air (no windshield buggy) I might consider a helmet mounted thermal here instead.
3. IR laser. I’ve used military grade units but in my experience some of the Airsoft shit is good enough and worth the cost savings. Just have to understand the need to zero EVERY TIME you go out. Way too many experiences of pigs/coyotes popping up out of nowhere and they’re gone into cover before the thermal powers up. Lasers and NODS are QUICK. Before my buddy’s thermal is powered up the pig/coyote is dead. I can replace a $200 airsoft laser every year for ten years before I’m into a grey market unit, or a DBAL D2 that spooks critters within 150m.
4. Clip on or dedicated optic WITH RF. Shit looks different at night. Have hunted my family property for 40+ years and still occasionally get lost on landmarks with NVGs and thermals. Coyotes and pigs don’t stay still for long. Bonus if can synch up or calibrate with your ballistic solver.

That’s what I’ve learned over the years and the recommendation I typically give people starting out. This is what works for ME, and your situation may be different, but should give you some things to consider before you spend your hard earned cash. I like to pick one big item that will be a functional upgrade for me and save up to purchase each year. Good luck out there.

As sworn member of buy more, spend more, get great toys, I am going to suggest getting a custom barrel for your CZ. You obviously fit it well, you know how to shoot it, you are just having flyers ( don’t we all). I would shoot this thing until it holds you back!
