I would say it has a lot to do with the Holy Spirit (or rather lack of the Holy Spirit). In our flesh, it's easy for us to get all excited about whether people should be baptized by immersion or sprinkling. If we're submitting to the Spirit (admittidely not an easy thing to do, but very important), we'll be focused on the essentials -- who Jesus is, what He did (and is doing) for us, etc. I keep various signatures around and use what's appropriate, depending on the group and the message. I often change these, but the one for soc.religion.christian has not been changed. I think the message is too important. Here's my signature: Geoff Allen \ Since we live by the Spirit, uunet!pmafire!geoff \ let us keep in step with the Spirit. bigtex!pmafire!geoff \ -- Gal. 5:25 (NIV) That verse pretty much says it all.
