Would you have a problem with someone beginning and ending their prayers in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, without touching their forhead, midsection, and shoulders?
My issue is the ritual of crossing oneself when they went by a building.....as if Christ resides within a building. As believers in Him we are the temples where the Spirit resides. We have the Spirit living within us. That’s what I don’t think some understand.
God is not in a box!
