Four-way baptism

   "Four-way baptism makes ecumenical history." This was the title of a
news report issued by the National Council of Churches concerning what
it called "the first multi-denominational baptism service since the
Protestant Reformation." The one-and-a-half-hour service held at the
Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Sacramento included participating
bishops from the Roman Catholic Church, the Episcopal Church, the
Western Diocese of the Armenian Church of America (Oriental Orthodox),
and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Each of four children
was baptized in his or her own Christian tradition, according to this
report, "but under one roof, in the water of one font, knit together by
one liturgy, celebrated in the power of the Holy Spirit, by one
people." A woman leader of the NCC spoke at this ecumenical baptism and
was quoted as saying, "As you grow older, you will come to appreciate
the richness of God's gift, given to you today, and you will remember
that we are one family: Orthodox, Anglican, Roman Catholic, and
Protestant, with an extended family of all who believe." A religious
Tower of Babel is being constructed by religious apostates, and God's
people should have nothing to do with it!
