WHAT IS IT?

It's Flint, in his profile. Or is that another 21-y.o.?


Zeke, thanks for the 15, man, instead of telling me your age, or who the picture is if it isn't you. Looks like you just proved me right. I did some simple math, and you post what, around 30 times a day, assuming this was stared in EARLY 2006. When do you sleep or tend your congregation if you are posting so much? Even with a smartphone, you are INTENSE man.

Re: Howdy

At what age did you actually read the entire KJV?

And please don't try to tell us you could read and understand Early Modern English at the age of five, OK?

That would be ridiculous.

Re: Howdy

Its people like this that give us Southern Baptists the wrong image. If you are southern baptist then where was your Immersion Baptism. What hymns and songs are sang at YOUR Baptist church. Surely you would know that Baptists are known for their singing about the lord correct?

I was Baptized in the local lake when I was 13, the same goes for my husband.

I'm not sure why you're asking these questions especially since We're INDEPENDENT BAPTISTS, NOT SOUTHERN BAPTISTS!

Re: Howdy

Friend Rodimer, you clearly don't know much about the Baptist faith in general, if you don't know that almost ALL Baptist churches are independent. Being in a coalition is not the same as being under a Pope or a Bishop, or Queen Spider or whatever.

And I informed you that you did not find us in your SBC directory because we are not part of the SBC.

That is all I said.

I also asked you to tell me Pastor Ezekiel's last name, since you claim to have tried to look him up in your SBC directory. You would, of course, need to know his name in order to do so.

WHAT IS IT?

If there's one thing I can't abide, it's God-mocking liars claiming to be something they are not.

Re: Howdy

Huh? I don't know what DoF even is. I am FROM California, in that I was born over there (long before Hippies, Legal Weed), but I've lived in North Carolina since I was less than 2.

You don't want to know who the DoF is, and you certainly don't want to get on their bad side.

Never been to Fremont though. I was born near the Sacramento area. Why do you want to know about where I live, anyway? hmy:

To take your word or what a Pastor says the DoF file says? I'll take the DoF file.

Friends, if you are real Baptists, you know that there is no such thing as "Southern Baptists." That is a loose association of churches, not a religion.

Care to explain what the Southern Baptist Convention is? Because according to them...

You become a Southern Baptist by uniting with a Southern Baptist church, one in friendly cooperation with the general Southern Baptist enterprise of reaching the world for Christ. Typically church membership is a matter of accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord and experiencing believer's baptism by immersion.

As far as MY church is concerned, gays shouldn't be able to serve openly, get married, adopt kids, or screw up our faith or anyone else's. We do not and never have condoned the gay lifestyle.

Then either you don't know what your church preaches, or you're not really a Southern Baptist.

Anyway, how have my tone and tune changed? Y'all have been all over me since I joined, trying to get me to say I am a Catholic, a Californian, I come from a gay church, I'm a t r o l l. I wasn't on the defensive at the beginning.

Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Or from their DoF file.

Re: Howdy

Accoprding to your DoF file, you reside in/about Fremont, Ca, care to explain that?

Lycia, I have no idea what you're talking about with Deuterocanonicals. And I like Judges fine. Not my favorite books but not my least favorite.

One of my favorite books is Exodus. Favorite New Testament Book is Revelation.

Re: Howdy

Very interesting how the OP's tone and tune have changed over these scant 24 comments.

He still has not told me from where in the Bible belt he is located....

Re: Howdy

Hi, North Carolina.



I think MOST conservative Baptist Churches follow the Bible, of course with their own interpretations mixed in. I don't know of a single religion that doesn't have their own spin and interpretation on SOMETHING in the Good Book or whatever their Holy Text may be. . .

Perhaps you should look at these
Problems with the Southern Baptists

Also you want to keep "don't ask, don't tell" letting homosexuals serve in secret.

You even admit that there's a biological basis to Homosexuality.

Re: Howdy

You still haven't answered my questions.

So tell me friend, what is your favorite Biblical scripture? How about your take on the book of Judges? What role do you think the Deuterocanonical books should play in teaching people about God?

[ChristianCrusader]

Re: Howdy

Man, you've got the wrong Southern Baptist Coalition if you think we want to let homosexuals serve openly. That's not a big agenda of mine either way, but I certainly don't know of ANY Baptist Church associated with our conference that has such an unusual view. Maybe you are thinking of Northern Baptists, and even there, they would be extreme cases.


Honestly, I have heard "True Christian" used THOUSANDS of times in dozens of different congregations. It is almost certain to be in a pastor's sermon at least once a month.



Friend Rodimer, you clearly don't know much about the Baptist faith in general, if you don't know that almost ALL Baptist churches are independent. Being in a coalition is not the same as being under a Pope or a Bishop, or Queen Spider or whatever.

A fundamental tenet of Baptists, except Episcopal Baptists, is that Churches only cooperate and relate to one another voluntarily. Every Baptist Church is under the direct authority of Scripture and the guidance and interpretation of the Pastors.

I think it is funny to mix up the Southern Baptists with the splinter groups of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Alliance of Baptists. That's like not knowing the difference between a Pentecostal Service and a Roman Catholic Mass, at the END of service!

Re: Howdy

He seems to imply that some people think being baptised as a BAPTIST would mean that he is saved. Sounds more like he considers the baptism invalid because it was Presbyterian. I guess it's your interpretation vs. mine, and you're not a Deacon.

He meant that it wasn't valid because the baptism of someone unable to comprehend Christianity isn't valid.

And that is cute how you trademarked True Christian. Do you really have a trademark on it? If so the churches of the world are going to owe you a whole lot of money!

Really? How many other churches have you seen use "True Christian"?

It is trademarked to differentiate between those who follow the ENTIRE Bible, and those who pick and choose the bits they like.

I have no need to submit to the authority of another church, especially one I have no direct knowledge of. Are you telling me that that is indeed a current photo of Ezekiel, your pastor? I have no listing of someone by that name in my SBC Worship Directory, although that doesn't necessarily mean that he isn't a Baptist Pastor. I know a lot of televangelists like making the young ones, especially the Pastor's Sons into figureheads, hereditary rulers, like the Roman Empire.

Landover Baptist Church is an Independent Fundamentalist Baptist church. Not SBC, and not any of the other Baptist conventions.

Do tell, since you've looked him up in your directory, what is Pastor Ezekiel's last name?

The Southern Baptist Church, the same one that wants to let Fags in the military? You are not a real Christian. Come on fess up you are damn Catlik aren't you?
