Like most Christians, Disciples Affirm:
Open Communion
The Lord’s Supper, or Communion is celebrated in weekly worship. It is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
Freedom of belief
Disciples are called together around one essential of faith: belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Persons are free to follow their consciences guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit study and prayer, and are expected to extend that freedom to others.
Baptism by immersion
In baptism the old self-centered life is set aside, and a new life of trust in God begins. Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, other baptism traditions are honored.
Belief in the oneness of the church
All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.
The ministry to believers
Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.
When my sister and I were kids, we—like, I suspect, most kids who celebrate Christmas—were absolutely obsessed with our presents as they appeared under the Christmas tree. We would find them, shake them, do our best to figure out what was in them before the big day arrived and we could finally open them.
I suspect that sometimes Mike watches movies and programs he knows I won’t like because he thinks my reaction is more entertaining than the movies themselves.
