God has already done everything He's going to do. The ball is now in your court.

Christ commands those who believe to be baptized. Pedobaptists adopt a system which tends to preclude the baptism of believers.

I think that my preaching style and many of my ideas and ideals about faith are based in both Pentecostal and Baptist background.
We begin the process of being born again through exercising faith in Christ, repenting of our sins, and being baptized by immersion for the remission of sins by one having priesthood authority.
The Republicans find their faith imperiled by Barney Frank's marriage. There is always a shadow on the wall, a monster in the closet, a mysterious rustling in the teeming underbrush of the conservative Id.

Scoutcraft is a means through which the veriest hooligan can be brought to higher thought and to the elements of faith in God; and, coupled with the Scout's obligation to do a good turn every day, it gives the base of Duty to God and to Neighbour on which the parent or pastor can build with greater ease the form of belief that is desired.
