0:00.0	Hey, everybody, this is Heidi St. John. Welcome to Off the Bench. I'm so glad you guys have
0:04.8	joined me today is mailbox Monday. You know what that means? That means I'm going to answer
0:10.0	your questions. This day is an important day here at mailbox Monday, because I'm going to jump
0:15.0	into a little bit of doctor. We're going to talk about baptism and Bible translations, a couple of
0:20.4	things that people tend to argue about, but that I believe can be squarely talked about in
0:26.4	scripture. Stick around. I think you're going to be encouraged.
0:36.8	All right, you guys. So good morning to everybody who's tuning in all across the world. And for

1:41.9	Why are there denominations in our churches? Let's just start there. We have denominations in
1:47.1	our churches because good people disagree on certain things in scripture. Now to be a member of
1:54.4	the church of God, in other words, and I'm not talking about a denomination. I'm saying to be a
1:58.8	believer, to be born again, there are certain things that we cannot disagree on. Right? We cannot
