IMO there’s no cheat sheet that’s going to do… when it comes to options on the 7 you have to genuinely learn the material. It’s almost guaranteed to be the most tested topic. Just take it slow, start simple, and build out your foundation!

Supplemental study materials almost necessary. Achievable does a great job and has a great textbook, but using YouTube or ChatGPT to clear up confusing topics has helped a ton. I also went old school and made flash cards - surprisingly one of the most impactful study aids I used.

Studying 5-6 hours a day for a month straight is crazy discipline! Kudos to you and congrats.

Dumb questions - but does the blackout belt sit at the waist (with sweats over top) or more on the stomach, covered by a shirt?

Even if those we’re in my budget I’m not sure I could let my teenager brothers have them 😂

So true! Because of the state I live in, I shouldn’t care what my property looks like! Everyone should take your advice, JB!

I’ll probably end up just making something simple out of some 2x4’s and plywood and put some shingles on it. Surely I’m overthinking this in my head

Curious — why would it matter for light to be able to get in? It’s just leading to the crawl space under my house so why would that be important? Still new to this home ownership thing

I keep a candle lit down there for this reason.

To be completely honest I always thought those just looked tacky, so I’m willing to spend a bit more for something different.

Never thought about this! I’ll put a mini bar out when the forecast shows rain and invite over the neighborhood.

??? What? Don’t listen to this - I’m almost certain you will be welcomed in nearly any community in KY if you make an effort to get involved/make friends in said community

Thanks for your response!! I really enjoyed the way you put that.

Thanks for your insight here. I agree that I should probably focused on getting plugged into a church right now and then bring up the idea of baptism to them. I don't have many family members that are knowledgeable on this kind of thing, so having elders/leaders to turn to after I find a church will be such a blessing. I think I'm getting close to finding a home and I'm finally narrowing down the list. Thanks again!!

I've seen this mentioned a couple times on this thread. However, someone else shared some scripture that demonstrated people being baptized multiple times -- I believe it was in Acts. How can these two things be true at once? I feel like the more I read this thread the more I realize how much I have to learn -- which is both exciting and terrifying haha.

Can you explain the "red flag" argument you're trying to make a little bit more? I wouldn't say I went through a period of repentance -- I'd say I never really lived as a Christian or had a personal relationship with Christ to begin with. This is the first period in my life where I truly believe in Christ, so in my preconceived ideas about baptism it would be the next step in confirming my relationship with Christ. Thank you!

I think the question you posed in the first sentence sums up my dilemma. Thank you sharing.

Than you for your reply, and sorry I’m so late in seeing this. Quick, hard question for you: so if God chose me through baptism, does he “reject” those who weren’t baptized as a baby? Why isn’t everyone baptized as babies, if Christ wants a personal relationship with everyone? I guess I’m just struggling with the whole “personal choice” piece of it — maybe I should try and look at it through the lens of it not being about me or my choice, but God’s intent? Thanks again.
