I ran a quick search to see what the difference between Baptists and churches that don't call themselves baptists...and I found this board...
Before I go say anything further, I'm not a proclaimed Baptist. I've accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior and hold Him to be the one and only way to heaven. That said, I think I..um.. behave(?) differently than you all do... I did go to a Baptist school/church for most of my childhood, but I found that there was a severe lack of love and grace shown.
After all, if not for the grace of Jesus Christ we'd be no better than the "fag" down the street... I guess that (even though I'm only 1/4th Chinese) I've already felt offended that Chinese people are being referred to strictly as "chinks"... is that necessary? Is calling african-americans "negroes" or "negras" necessary? If they are unsaved, they are lost people that need to hear of God's grace.. if they are fellow believers, why refer to them by their race? In actuality, there are no races, just groups of people..(referring to the split that occurred at the tower of Babel..but that's a creation-based science lesson in and of itself)...
I have many more questions, but it just seems like followers of the Christ that reached out to "evil tax collectors" and gentiles, and have been given a gift of salvation through the grace of God would be a little more humble... after all, Jesus summed up all of the commandments in "Love your neighbor as yourself" and "Love the Lord your God.."
Please don't think that I'm being critical of the posters of this board.. I just noticed that some of the language used is quite hateful...
