Iβm honestly so stunned that evangelical baptism is just a statement. Iβve never been to a baptism (cath, ortho, and prot!!) that didnβt include a little exorcism for example. Along with so much more β¦ Like WDYM itβs just a statement ??????

I've never seen anything approximating an exorcism at a baptism.*
*I have not been to many.
All Catholic and orthodox baptisms include a little exorcism prayer and some Protestant too
I've only recently become aware of this fact. π
Itβs just a little exorcism but yeah!!!!
Yes, and I think that it is right and proper to do so.
This is random but I found this to be interesting, it's a little quiz to attempt to see what denomination you align with most, it's by no means 100% perfect but it's interesting either way in my view.
Iβm stumped on the 1st question bc βnone of the aboveβ lol
Yeah, it's not perfect for sure, I had trouble with a few of them because the wording is weird and or the answer I'm looking looking for isn't there
And including Mormons in the Christian umbrella?? I definitely donβt!
I got labeled something I've never heard of, but I didn't align with many of the questions as framed.
The questions are really horribly written imo they were written by a Mormon
They sure might be. It definitely could be made better.
I would be shocked if it was written by an actual Christian when it reads like it was written by a Mormon
Who knows. π€·ββοΈ
Iβd like to see a site like this written by just Christians without the massive amount of Mormon junk added to it and scrolling through this table thereβs so much thatβs watered down to the point of being incorrect lol https://denominationdifferences.com/compare/all
My low church Protestant baptism did not include an exorcism prayer. Or much else forOne of many reasons Iβm thankful that my priest decided to receive me into the Orthodox Church by baptism. That liturgy is so much deeper and richer than the low church version.
Itβs up to the bishop not your priest but Iβm glad you got a real baptism too!
My bishop at the time was the Patriarch of Antioch. Thankfully we have a local bishop again now.
Iβm pretty sure trying to explain the nuances of American non-denominational churches to the Patriarch would have been a tall order. And then heβd just say βbaptize the heathen!β π
Not a tall order at all!
