This is a childish post.

This happens both ways, and I think I've seen enough credos coming back on a C-->P switch by affirming their stands, and posting their exegetical defenses, that the suggestion that Pilgrim should expect to be "slammed" for moving is a bit melodramatic.

jpechin was a recent switcher to credo, and that was about the first thing he contributed to the board. In that thread, I asked him if his earlier move to paedo was more than rhetoric, had he actually presented his children for baptism? He had. I appreciated his testimony, even if I disagreed with it. Who slammed him?

When people come in, stating their views, explaining why they are correct NOW, and were in ERROR then, I think they are practically begging for interaction and dispute, as well as affirmation by their new fellows in thought.
