I know you are a believer Scruffy and this is not intended to offend you or anyone else. I just want to point out that we should not get too tied up with specifics. That is one of the things Jesus rebuked the Sanhedrin for. To find out if something is scriptural or not requires a close look at the spirit in which it ministers. If the motive is pure and gentle, the action is clean and wholesome and is done in obedience to God, then the ministry is an acceptable act from God's viewpont.
