If I choose to put a tattoo on my arm, that would involve a one time act on my part. Yet the tattoo would remain with me indefinitely. I don't have to maintain a fondness for tattoos to ensure that the tattoo remains on my arm. In fact may change my mind theminute I receive it. But that does not change the fact that I have a tattoo on my arm. My request for the tattoo and the tattoo itself are two entirely different things. I received it by asking and paying for it. But asking for my money back and changing my mind will not undo what is done. Forgiveness or salvation is applied at the moment of faith. It is not the same things as faith and its permanence is not contigent on the permanence of one's faith.

After watching sales fall off for three straight months at Kentucky Fried Chicken, the Colonel called the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church to ask a favor. "Is it possible to change just one word in the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily chicken?' 'If so, I would donate a million dollars to the PC (USA). The Moderator replies, "I'm sorry, that's sacred scripture, I couldn't possibly change the words!" "Well, could it be done for, let's say, five million?" "I'm sorry, I must refuse, it's the Lord's Prayer and the words can't be changed." The Colonel thought about his declining sales and said, "This is my final offer, if you will change the words from 'give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily chicken'’, I will give ten million dollars to the Presbyterian Church." The Moderator said, "Let me get back to you," and called together all the members of the General Assembly Council and said, "I have some good news, and some bad news. The good news is that we have a ten million dollar gift to the church, the bad news is that we have lost the Wonder Bread account."

The clearest example that shows the meaning of baptizo is a text from the Greek poet and physician Nicander, who lived about 200 B.C. It is a recipe for making pickles and is helpful because it uses both words. Nicander says that in order to make a pickle, the vegetable should first be 'dipped' (bapto) into boiling water and then 'baptized' (baptizo) in the vinegar solution. Both verbs concern the immersing of vegetables in a solution. But the first is temporary. The second, the act of baptizing the vegetable, produces a permanent change. When used in the New Testament, this word more often refers to our union and identification with Christ than to our water baptism. For example, Mark 16:16. "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved." Christ is saying that mere intellectual assent is not enough. There must be a union with him, a real change, like the vegetable to the pickle!

Mainly because the church (the ecclesia), when true to its calling, and on about what God is on about, is by far the most potent force for transformational change the world has seen.

Reinhold Niebuhr was one of the most respected theologians of the twentieth century. He wrote the famous prayer associated with Alcoholics Anonymous: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. When Niebuhr was 21 years old, his father died. Two months later, the young man spoke in the pulpit his father used to occupy. This is what he said: As a child I once spent a day with my grandmother. Toward evening a severe storm began. "Now how will you get home, child?" she asked. But then my father came to fetch me. He had a big blue coat and as we left he said, "Come under here." I slipped under the coat, grabbed his hand, and off we went. I couldn't see anything as we splashed through puddles and mire. I heard the rain and the thunder and seized my father's hand and held it tightly. I would have been a fool if I had complained that it was dark around me. After all, it was my father\'s coat, protecting me from the weather, that made it dark. Father saw the path; I knew that ... and when the coat parted, we were home! Father had brought me home.... So it is with our Heavenly Father. If only we trust him, he holds our hand, takes us under his wings and leads us through storm and tempest.
