Re: Belgian Baptist Church
Wow. I never would've imagined that such a thing existed. Do you use real Bibles?O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.

Re: Belgian Baptist Church
Belgium, eh? Are you part of the Papist cheese-eating french Walloon population, or the dutch pot smoking, hooker patronizing Fleming population? Not even why the two side of your country are even joined. I'm forced to assume the french half surrendered to you.Originally posted by Brother Ikarus View PostComment

Re: Belgian Baptist Church
If you can round up five or ten Belgians who even LIKE the Lord, I'd call it a moral victory for Christendom. Brother Ikarus, I will give you the benefit of the doubt, subject to verification by Brother Wide-Open, the only Belgian (albeit, an Honorary American(TM) as well) whom we know to be saved. If you are for real, perhaps we might open up a second front in the battle against Satan. If not, then woe be onto you for mocking God.Originally posted by Brother Ikarus View Post

If you’re from Belgium Europe, which I doubt, what’s the matter with Austrian Baptists? Is it because they are all the descendants of British criminals, are drunks and fall in love with Kangaroos? Or is it the Abos?Belgian Baptists receive official recognition
Posted on Dec 15, 1997 | by Wendy Ryan
WASHINGTON (BP)--Baptists in Belgium are now officially recognized, after having been classified as a "cult" for a number of years, and thus outside the country's constitutional protections.
The recognition came in a Dec. 6 unanimous vote by the Protestant Synod in Brussels to accept the Union of Baptists in Belgium.
Samuel Verhaeghe, the union's general secretary, reported that a representative from the minister of justice was on hand for the vote. "He congratulated us at the end," Verhaeghe said.
The Baptist World Alliance had joined with European Baptists to plead the cause of Belgian Baptists to be officially recognized, since this prevented them from carrying out many church duties, such as marriage.
Former President Jimmy Carter also had asked the Belgian government to give the Baptist union official status. An official with the Carter Center's human rights program in Atlanta had called Belgium's lack of official recognition of Baptists "a violation of guaranteed international human rights."
There are 19 churches with approximately 850 members in the Baptist Union.
Verhaeghe cautioned, however, "the change in people's minds will not happen overnight" and there are plans to work with the synod to develop this new partnership.
Verhaeghe thanked Baptists around the world who prayed and wrote letters to help.
Denton Lotz, BWA general secretary, said the Belgian recognition is a sign of hope for Baptists in Austria who still are not officially recognized. "It is good that we did not give up hope," Lotz said. "Now we need to encourage Austrian Baptists because they are in the same situation, at least not recognized by the state."sigpic
