Holiday Party Drink

There isn't a simple yes or no answer to this question. Taking a drink is amoral - can be good or bad. If you are a recovering alcoholic, then stay clear of alcohol regardless of where you are. If you are an immature christian, then don't drink alcohol. Equally important is if you are a mature christian in the company of an immature christian at the party, think VERY carefully before drinking since you're actions can have a serious influence on that younger christian.

Baptism Guarantees Salvation
	Water baptism, either child or adult guarantees nothing except wetness! The only essential thing that guarantees salvation is that God saves us and indwells you by his Holy Spirit. In scripture we read about being baptised into the body of Christ which I believe is the same thing as salvation.
