Understanding Petition Numbers

___________________________________________________

The Church and Society Committee of Calvary United Methodist Church has reviewed the baptism study, By Water and the Spirit: A United Methodist Understanding of Baptism. We do not support the deviation from the current doctrine of The United Methodist Church.

It is with strong resolve that we respectfully request that the committee not try to reformulate this understanding of baptism which would elevate it to a level heretofore unknown in United Methodism. We suggest standing on our memberships' word of public confession of faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord for salvation.
