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.
If you have a mouse in a maze with a reward at the end, and you make it so the mouse receives a shock or some other undesirable stimulus whenever they reach for that reward, the mouse will stop reaching for it. And if, later, the shock is removed, the mouse still won’t reach for the reward.
In this text, we’re back in Cana. Most scholars see the first twelve books of the Fourth Gospel as the “Book of Signs,” in which Jesus does things that cause others to know who he is and believe in him. And within that “Book of Signs,” according to some scholars, there is a discrete section from the beginning of chapter 2 through the end of chapter 4, bookended by the first and second of the seven signs taking place at Cana.
