Feet Washing

[FaithfulPilgrim]

The NT mentions foot washing and Jesus seems to institute it as a command (John 13:14-17)

However, how often should it be done and should it be considered a sacrament or ordinance? It is regarded as such by Anabaptists and Free Will Baptists. I think it is practiced by other denominations, but Idk if they consider a sacrament.

What are your thoughts?

I believe it is impossible to experience the Holy Spirit and to hold onto an ego as well. Paul said that just a little leaven affects the whole lump. Just a little ego has the same effect. It makes the whole person bad.

Foot washing makes the camel small and helps give it the ability to pass the eye of the needle. I have attended Freewill Baptist foot washing services and was blessed by the experience.

The Church of the Brethren used to be known for this.

And of course there's Maundy Thursday footwashing, which is very widespread.
