AbstractThe association of the Methodists with the Roman Catholic and Lutheran Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification was a significant ecumenical event. The Methodist Statement that allowed this agreement, though, does not include a description of the connection between baptism and justification. This paper examines John Wesley's understandings of baptism and justification to suggest a way that they may be held together in Methodist theology. The Methodist practice of infant baptism stands in tension with an understanding of justification built on the model of adult conversion experience, and this tension is found in Wesley's own work. It is possible, though, to find in the way Wesley engaged certain questions some indications of how baptism and justification may be both connected and distinguished in order to display a flexible understanding of God's ongoing work in human life.

Abstrak. Kota Banda Aceh menjadi daya tarik bagi masyarakat sebagai sentral kegiatan pendidikan dan ekonomi, sehingga membawa pengaruh bertambahnya jumlah penduduk yang menyebabkan kebutuhan lahan semakin meningkat. Lahan yang sebelumnya berfungsi sebagai daerah resapan air tersebut mengalami konversi lahan yang menyebabkan berkurangnya daerah resapan air sehingga ketika terjadinya hujan dengan intensitas tinggi air hujan tidak secara maksimal terinfiltrasi ke dalam tanah dan terjadi penggenangan. Maka, diperlukan upaya untuk meresapkan air hujan yang efektif  ke dalam tanah dengan menggunakan lubang resapan biopori. Salah satu tempat yang ingin diketahui besarnya laju infiltrasi menggunakan lubang resapan biopori adalah di lima halaman rumah dengan luas bidang kedap yang berbeda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jumlah lubang biopori yang dibutuhkan di setiap rumah serta mengetahui jumlah volume air yang terinfiltrasi. Jumlah volume air yang terinfiltrasi pada rumah A yaitu 2,88 ml, pada rumah B yaitu 6,12 ml, pada rumah C yaitu 10,24 ml, pada rumah D yaitu 4,26 ml, pada rumah E yaitu 2,17 ml selama pengukuran. Jumlah ideal LRB yang dibutuhkan pada setiap halaman rumah A, B, C, D dan E berturut-turut adalah 82, 51, 27, 71, dan 230 lubang dengan intensitas hujan sebesar 6,62 cm/jam. Infiltration Rate of Absorption Holes Biopore Based on Type of Organic Material as Water and Soil Conservation Efforts Abstract.  Banda Aceh appeal to the public as the central economic and educational activities, this bringing the influence of growing population and increasing land needs. Increasing population it brings increased land requirements. Previous land serves as the water catchment area of land conversion experience leading to reduced water catchment areas. So, when it rains with high intensity of rain water, is not optimally infiltrated into the soil and flooding occurred. We need efforts are needed to effectively absorb rain water into the ground. One of the places to know the magnitude of infiltration using biopori absorption holes are in five broad areas of the home page with different impermeable. This study aims to determine the amount of absorption wells which are needed in every houses and to know the volume of water that infiltrated. The total volume of water that infiltrated the house of A is 2.88 ml, at the house of B is 6.12 ml, at the house of C is 10.24 ml, at the house of D is 4.26 ml, at the house of E is 2.17 ml for measurement. LRB ideal amount needed at every driveway A, B, C, D and E are respectively is 82, 51, 27, 71, 230 holes with rain intensity of 6.62 cm / hour. 

but at the same time the self-identity of evangelicals contrasted sharply with the secular individualist self which has often been taken as the normative development of the Enlightenment. It remains to make a few observations linking this distinctive evangelical self-understanding to the appearance within evangelicalism of an active and vocal laity. The narrative identity of evangelicals expressed through stories of conversion was embraced by a wide spectrum of society, including women as well as men, laity as well as clergy, and all orders from the lowest to the highest in social rank. If we take into view contexts such as Sierra Leone at the end of the century, we can add that this narrative identity included people of different races as well. Conversion was a central emphasis within evangelicalism and the genre of conversion narrative is correspondingly and surprisingly broad in its sociological reach. One of the implications is that the concept of the laity within evangelicalism, under the impetus of conver-sionism, became something more like the apostle Paul’s use of the term laos to refer to the whole people of God, comprehending both clergy and non-clergy. In the eighteenth century this came into focus in certain debates about call to the ministry, ordination and what constituted a legitimate min-istry. As Jerald Brauer writes, ‘The moment one argues for the illegitimacy of a minister because he has not had a genuine conversion experience, one opens the possibility of ministry to any who have had such a conversion experience.’ Thus, the narrative identity of evangelicals, expressed through

This article, which is part of a larger ongoing project, examines relationships, friendships and levels of belonging in Dutch society, as well as in the Dutch Muslim community in narratives of women converted to Islam. The ethnicity of these women is always visible as ‘native Dutch’ and shapes their conversion narratives. This ethnography raises a number of questions that form the basis for the analysis presented here: How do Dutch Muslim women shape their identity in a way that is both Dutch and Muslim? Do they incorporate Dutch parameters into their Muslim identity, while at the same time weaving Islamic principles into their Dutch sense of self? The findings show how the conversion narrative can be mobilized by Dutch Muslim women to serve identity formation, levels of belonging and personal (religious) choice in the Netherlands, where Islam is largely considered by the non-Muslim population to be a religion that is oppressive and discriminatory towards women and is associated with foreignness and being the Other. It is argued that, in the context of being Dutch and Muslim, these women express their freedom of choice, which is manifested through friendships, relationships and marriages (Islamic vs. civil), while their ethnicity and conversion experience is a visible component in their identity. In so doing, these women push the limits of the archetypal Dutch identity and are able to criticize Dutch society while simultaneously stretching the meaning of Islam and being critical of Dutch Muslim communities to craft their own hybrid identity.

Abstract Rudolf Carnap’s intellectual autobiography was published in 1963. The specific characteristics of this kind of text and its reception shape his self-testimony. This article examines how these characteristics – typical narrative position and structure, problems of truth and veracity, well-rounded self-presentation – are manifest in the story Carnap tells of his life. In Carnap’s case, the subjective narrative position is the one of the successful philosopher, and Carnap meets the expectation of presenting one’s life as a unity, framed by considerations of his general attitude towards life. In line with the history of autobiographical writing in pietism, Carnap’s autobiography also includes a kind of self-justification in addition to a conversion experience, although the latter is secularized as a conversion from religion to logic-centred philosophy. In this regard, the United States are presented as a blessed country, where Carnap has reached his New Zion which he helped flourish
