You're not going to like me much either...

[BritishBaptist]

Apparently God hates British people. Is this true for British Baptists? I've been going to Baptist church since birth, and I'm worried that this has all been in vein. I have not lost faith in God, that would be impossible for me. But if God has lost faith in my country, then what can I do to prove our worth?

Very simple, get a rather large rod, and beat those british athiest's untill they have the fear of God in them and go to a real church!!!

I'm quite sure the Baptist church is considered the 'real church' by your standard? Am I mistaken?

Who knows? I mean, God even found one righteous man in Sodom.

Don't despair. There are several True Christians™ on our board who were accursed by being born in inferior third-world countries like Britain or Australia. Perhaps it was a way of God challenging you, just like Job was tested. If you truly accept Jesus Christ as your savior, whether you're fortunate enough to be a white American or unlucky enough to be a Brit, God will forgive your sins.

I believe I have been saved.

That was fast! Don't forget to get on your knees and thank Jesus for this miracle. You can stop once your knees start bleeding.

Re: You're not going to like me much either...

I believe I have been saved.

What? Just now?

PRAISE JESUS!

Oh dear! I think you have the wrong end of the stick my friends!
I believed I had been saved long ago. I was just concerned....

[Pastor Isaac Peters]

Re: You're not going to like me much either...

I know that I have been saved.

1 John 5:13: These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Landover, and a handful of other Baptist churches that follow the entire Bible, refer to themselves as "Independent Fundamentalist Baptist" churches.

While there may indeed be unknown churches in the denominations listed above which do follow the entire Bible, I know of none at this time.

So, my friend, attending a random Baptist church no more makes you a Saved True Christian(tm) than sitting in a garage makes you a car.
