I really do not understand your purpose in asking for such personal information. Whatever theological point I try to make I make it using Holy Scripture as my source of authority. Unlike Roman Catholics, many of us here are not bound at the hip to a religious institution that tells us what to believe. I believe what the Apostles believed because they wrote down for us what Jesus taught them both while he was physically present with them for three years as well as when he ascended to heaven through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. That same Holy Spirit indwells all believers and leads us into the truth of Scripture.
I fellowship with a Southern Baptist Church locally but have also attended nondenominational churches in other places I lived. There is not too much difference between the two and their Statements of Faith are nearly identical. I am not at all afraid of people stating their own opinions about Christianity as it is not as if there is nothing with which to discern correct vs. incorrect doctrine. That is why God gave us the Bible. The "church" - the body of Christ - is supposed to be the upholder and supporter of the truth of God and, like the "noble Bereans", we are all advised to search the Scriptures to know if what church leaders teach is true and not the "blind leading the blind". Much of what we do on these threads is discuss our views about various topics as they come up. I know I am edified by these exchanges and I hope others are as well. Thank you for your comments.
Thank you for your reply. & Thank you for attending a Southern Baptist Church which is a strong >pro-life church.
There are literally thousands of different churches that claim the Bible as their source of what they believe. & Within those many churches, the people will argue about the >true meaning of scripture.
Sometimes on freerepublic, folks seem to post comments from the ‘Sunday-Stay-At-Home’ church. The doctrines expressed seem to be whatever suits their fancy that day.
Doctor Albert Mohler of the Southern Baptist Divinity School has a column that I read occasionally. Praise God for Pro-life & pro-traditional morality> churches.
I’m a Roman Catholic & I am obligated to believe Catholic Doctrines. If you have any questions, I’ll try to point out Catholic Doctrines to the best of my ability. +Obviously, I believe you should be attending a Catholic Church.
