[QUOTE="Thomas More, post: 1497003, member: 8402"] A good Southern Baptist would immediately tell you that "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places", and that in order to handle this, we must "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.". I will admit, shamefully, that I didn't remember that both of these are from the same passage, and my second quote is the verse immediately before my first quote, but I know them from Southern Baptist Sunday School, and I can tell you that most Southern Baptists can immediately quote these verses, and give you some kind of testimony in which they have lived this out. Most Baptist children have participated in a skit at some time where they have made armor and a sword out of cardboard and aluminum foil, and wear the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and wield the sword of the spirit.
