I'd like to know what it is too. Is it ordination?
Peace be with you.
Yes, but what you don't realize is we fight as brothers and sisters in Christ, not as followers of Satan versus followers of Christ. It's just like physical brothers and sisters.

PREIn our church we practice footwashing. It is done on an optional basis and
is not considered a requirement for salvation or anything else but is
considered a reminder of the example of humility and service that Christ
taught us. We do it once a year around Easter but some churches do it
I should have said two CHURCH ordinances. I believe there is salvation by grace through faith plus nothing minus nothing. Church of Christ believes one is saved by baptism and believe one continues to be saved by the Lord's Supper. If you miss the Lord's Supper on Sunday and you die that week, you

I believe footwashing is a sacrament in that I have seen it bring the grace
of Christ to people and affect their relationship with their brothers and
sisters, and with Jesus Christ. I don't like the term ordinance because
it sounds like a law
DAVEH: Thanx, Laura. I don't see that as a can of worms for you. Who were you
worried about...Brother Glenn? If I were to admit that we practice a similar

I agree with you I would call it a sacrement but I guess they use the words interchangeably. Apparently years ago it was a real issue between the Free Will Baptists in Tennessee and North Carolina. My church would be considered liberal by many FWB and many of our people are children of parents who
1 Tim. 5:10 states that footwashing is a good work. I don't view good works as an ordinance. To me it's a no brainer, but some denominations make it more than a good work. They make it equal to the Lord's Supper because Jesus washed feet before instituting the Supper. They say, "Jesus commanded us
We have to go easy on the women, after all, God is against them doing anything in the church but washing floors, right? Mormons and Islam are both pretty much anti-women.

So what does that term "ordinance" mean in your usage? What is the
