This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Depends on the Protestant.  I'm not sure that Anabaptists mean the same
thing that I do when I say that I acknowledge one baptism for the remission
of sins.

And there are non-magisterial Protestantisms that set personal experience
and opinion far above any credal or dogmatic formulation; Bishop John Shelby
Spong, Gretta Vosper, and Paul Tillich have all felt perfectly comfortable
in contesting or contradicting the historic creeds without violating the
canons of their respective church bodies.
