If they explain to me that they indeed do not "believe in" water baptism, how will this practice affect another belief? No theological point stands alone. Or, to state it conversely, where would this specific point fall within the larger framework (no point standing alone)?

Is it not the view of the antinomian that we in this NT age are "under grace not under law"? My relatives have stated this numerous times.

And then there is their avoidance of the tithe. Although they do not withhold giving, they dislike "tithe" at least as they understand it to be a 10% requirement.

Then they get into this whole weirded-out dispensational thing of the Red Hereford,, the building of the new Temple on the Dome of the Rock, the re-establishment of the sacrificial system etc etc.

My issue all along has been that they have become wrapped up in something and I can't quite put my finger on it. Obviously it is hyper-dispy yet because they attend no local church and get this from Internet Church, who knows where it comes from. Is this clear now?

P.S. One video they showed us was from Triangle Church but it was for one "study" only.
