		<description><![CDATA[I have heard some really strange ideas on this topic&#8230;ranging from uncontrollable temper through fleshly desires and on to profound mental depression&#8230;any of which would be more than I would welcome. However, the inspired Scriptures do not exactly pinpoint what was Paul&#8217;s thorn in the flesh. So, I decided to examine the context and some [...]]]></description>

I have a few thoughts on the subject that I would like to share with you. We should search them reverently. Psalm 19:8-11 teaches us that the Scriptures are just simply [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Right. This is another topic that is hotly debated and regarding which, for some strange reason, most Christians don&#8217;t want to be counted. Time after time, I have seen situations where Christians have avoided voicing their opinion because it was not &#8220;politically correct.&#8221; Maybe one of the reasons is that the average Christian knows that [...]]]></description>

This particular article will deal with the above question. Is there a particular &#8220;formula&#8221; given in the Bible that must be used when one is baptized?
