@Not me I think clearly that this is the sort of thing that is covered by Romans 14: "Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind". Some earnest believers will be tattooed (maybe a Bible ref., etc.); others - earnest in their beliefs and preferences - will not. As Rita said:

@Not me We were thinking about the Transfiguration at our church recently; 'eyewitnesses of His majesty' (2 Peter 1.16).

@Prim I am reminded of Psalm 36.9: "In Thy light shall we see light": we need to be open to Scripture guiding us and leading us on from our entrenched opinions.

I think also there was the issue that traditionally baptists - following Scripture - have not delegated decisions to a central, controlling committee or standing conference, but rather it has been the local church - exercised in the Scriptures (however imperfectly at times) - that has been...

God in Three Persons is strongly in Scripture...

@Pearl Philippians 4:8 is a good verse about thoughts......
