Look beneath a 'Dominionist' argument and you'll usually find a rejection (or at least a misunderstanding) of the Covenant of Works--and therefore of justificatian (and eventually eschatology).

Sorry I dont quite understand what "justification" means in this context?
but I think I strongly agree with your and Paul
I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that this post has to do with the chatter over the last few days that has taken place on NOSTR resulting from me calling out HODL for imprecisely stating something in ways that were fundamentally myopic and unloving of his neighbors who might be dealing with various traumas including physical, emotional, or mental, or even unavoidable sterility.
His statement is devoid of nuance and that was the issue.
As for me, I do not make a dominionist argument so if that term is meant to point towards me, allow me to inform you that you have failed to "put me in a box" with that.
Also, your take on baptism is woefully lacking in anything substantive. I've got science backing me up. Baptism is Egyptian. It's about sensory deprivation which is one of the most effective forms of grounding. Grounding is meant to rhythm entrain the mind to a theta frequency. Theta frequencies are trance like states in which people experience past life memories, healing, and spiritual awakenings (enlightenment). That's why Justin Martyr said what he said about photismos being washing in chapter 61 of First Apology. That's what the real version of "lustration" is. That's what the Osiris shaft sarcophagus was for. That's what the Osireion was for.
The modern Christian baptism practice is a hollow, functionless shell of the original thing.
You're way out of your depth.
I'm not sure I even read your replies in that thread so this seems a tad bizarre. The careful reader will notice that I (too?) was pushing back a bit on his post--leaning against the pendulum, as it were.
That said, I've heard all that about baptism before, and it's irrelevant. It means what God says it means even if the pagans meant something different and earlier. Not interested in more here because revelational authority trumps ever-tentative "science."
