    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

    In regards to "favorite" not whose better.  Besides they have thick skin, they are not hyper sensitive like some bloggers.
