meditatio at the water's edge

Baptism... today I was talking with a friend, and the topic of infant and believers baptism came up. At water's edge we have explored this topic a great deal, and I don't want to get into the thelogical points to be made on both sides. That simply isn't my point here... as I was reflecting on our conversation while trimming the shrubs in the yard this afternoon, it occurred to me that we ReALLY like to be right on this particular issue, and I wonder why this one is so important on being "right."

Here is my thought... it's largely because we like to know who is saved and who is not. We do like to be like God; we like to know the things of God. Perhaps this isn't really any of our business anyway. Maybe it's our business to share the story, live the story, and teach others the ways of Jesus, but perhaps the matter of who is "saved" is really only for God to know.

BUT, since we like to know the things of God, we have unconsciously decided that knowing these things is somehow important to living as apprentices of Jesus... but is it??? I want to hear your "Shout Out."
