Paul cited 26 people for his person greetings - 6 were women. Which is interesting because Paul has taken a "bum rap" for being, well, not so nice all the time. This speaks to the influence of women and mothers in the early church.
Pastor Doug gives us a wonderful account of Baptism and the relevance of Baptism to our faith. For example: Does one need to have been Baptized to be saved? Are all denominations the same? This a great resource for anyone wishing to learn more about the significance of Baptism.
