"BATTLE TALK" for BATTLE ROYALE #1 - Freak vs. me again

[Justin]

I really enjoyed the discussion guys Thanks for some good talk. Regarding one thing Me again said in his last response in the debate, though...

I know of many denominations that require the baptismal candidate to say that "Jesus is Lord." However, I cannot find one denomination that requires the candidate to say that "Jesus is God" prior to allowing them to be baptized. Can you find any such denomination? There is a valid reason why we don't require this extra-biblical statement to become a Christian.

When you join the Orthodox Church as a convert (and I assume in the Catholic Church as well), you have to say the Nicene(-Constantinoplitan) creed, and must affirm what is said in the creed fully, including the belief that Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit is God. You can't be Orthodox (and I assume Catholic) if you don't affirm this. I don't know if the Lutherans, Anglicans, et al., but just the Catholic/Orthodox Churches make up about 60% of the Christian population.
