I belong to the largest non-Catholic denomination in the US (So. Baptist). We have been and are continually maligned, even on this site.

As a former Army chaplain, we could request a chart showing the percentage breakdown of faith groups of the battalions, brigades, or divisions to which we were assigned. While you are correct that the Southern Baptists are the largest protestant group, those of a baptistic type faith were consistently the largest faith group in our units. By baptistic type faith, I include all manner of baptists, organized or independent, and those other groups that practice and believe in much the same manner as baptists.

The Catholics were regularly about 25% of our reports. The baptistic groups were 33%+.

Just thought you'd like to know that you are a majority.

If you add on groups such as the Assemblies of God, Churches of God, etc., that also practice adult-only baptism, then that percentage goes even higher.

So are the Catholics-So it is with every sect/denomination.
I first accepted Christ at a Billy Graham Crusade for Christ.Iwas a spiritual baby ,a hormonal Christian who came
to Christ because a girl actually paid some attention to me
I joined a Baptist Church affiliated with the SO Baptists and a Deacon told me I could "Never be anythig in that churchnor any other so long as I had the mark of the Beast on my forehead." I ran from that church and swore never to
return unless I had a whor eunder each arm and was loaded with whiskey and curses. (I have since repented and did
return to ask forgiveness.) My point is simply this my father was right any one who trusts in any church,or Pastor ,or Pope , will sooner or later find they trust in the wrong thing. We are to Trust God. And measure all by HIS Word (reflected in the Inspired Word of God,the Bible.)
