Brought up Baptist

[canyonwolf]

Greetings to all here.
I was brought up going to Baptist Sunday School in Toronto.
Still have my KJV Sunday School bible, and the KJV New Testament awarded to me for memory work in 1963.
Drifted away in my teenage years, but returned to the fold in my 20's, when I was baptized.

I studied homiletics and doctrine at an Apostolic Evangelical church.
I left this church when they began suddenly and inexplicably to align themselves with Jim Bakker, and that TV money-led movement.

I have not found a church that suits me. They are either too error ridden, preaching a liberal, almost "New Age" Christianity, or they are too ritual bound like the Catholic, United, or Anglicans.

I have yet to find a biblically based fellowship, that fully grasps the concept of grace as taught by Christ. Most congregations fail to comprehend the redemptive mission of Christ, his fulfilling of the law, and the abolition of the old hierarchy and the old legalistic errors of the Hebrews. Which is not to say that there aren't lessons to be learned from the old testament, but Christ was quite clear in bringing the religious establishment of his day to task over their errors.

But that's ok, because the great patriarchs of the old testament were never men whose righteousness was because of their church attendance, or even their adherence to a set of laws, but rather because of their faith in action.

Welcome to Landover Baptist. Here we believe in the entire BIBLE(KJV) not just cherry-picked passages that are politically correct.

If you remain here long, you will find that we do not approve of homos that lie around with each other at Landover Baptist Church. I'm surprised that any Baptist church would even those in heathen Canada.

OK, it seems like you are at least trying to extricate yourself from a sinful, erroneous upbringing.

You do realize that here at Landover Baptist Church True Christians(tm) obey every single word of the Old Testament and every single word of the New Testament, don't you?

But that's ok, because the great patriarchs of the old testament were never men whose righteousness was because of their church attendance, or even their adherence to a set of laws, but rather because of their faith in action.

That is rather vague. Which particular patriarchs are you talking about?
