Your children will have a blast with interactive Bible lessons, rockin' worship songs, and fun-filled activities.

you'll hear the worship band playing worship songs from a variety of musical genres.

Our Bible study time is more conversational than "preachy."

I came here a year and half ago from another state. I began my walk @ Calvary Chapel. Married my wife @ Gateway. And I am developing firm ties and community fellowship through the church. I owe a lot to this church, and thank them for their superb leadership, community support, and conviction of the Holy Spirit.

Praise Him!!!

We further believe there is but one true interpretation of Scripture, although there may be several applications. The true meaning lies in the text and is that which the divinely-guided author willed to convey. It is recoverable through careful application of a literal (grammatical, historical, contextual) method of interpretation under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and in the community of Christ. The Holy Spirit illumines the text, enabling the reader to embrace the significance of what God has communicated, and to see the glory of Christ in the Word of God.

Exactly what version are they "interpreting"?

Dear chink-loving race-traitor;

Post the link to the church where you were Baptized, or apologize to Jesus for lying.

I'll wait.

Re: question

Are you speaking of a real physical church or an online church like this forum that has membership?

I was just wondering (not that I place emphasis on the label) but, when will I be able to join, become a member, or have I been rejected for Christian fellowship?

I attest to a clean record, having been baptized only a couple weeks ago. I am confident that my record is thoroughly clean, having walked cautiously since then - teehee

Praise Him!!!

Re: question

Thanks, true, this may take quite awhile to determine. My true name is an adopted name. However, after a few weeks ago, I have come to understand that I have been adopted once again - Squeaky clean.

Praise Him!!!

It can take a while; after all, they do have to go back ten generations:

Deuteronomy 23:2-3 "2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD. 3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:"

Any Ammonites or Moabites lurking in your woodpile?

Talk to the Pastors, I'm just a housewife and don't make any of the decisions around here.

Department of Faith

They do background checks, and other security stuff for the church.

Trust me, they are very thorough. Especially when you move and want to join the church.

Re: question

Eww, I don't think so. Also, what did he do to get banned?

Who knows. Maybe something turned up in the DoF research. Maybe he threatened one of the Pastors since they're the only people unsaved trash can contact off the board. Or maybe he posted a bunch of porn or something that got deleted before we saw it.

You just have to put faith in the Pastors that they know what they're doing.

Re: question

Bluish, just to let you know, Landover is not an actual representation of most Baptist churches. Actually, and I can say this because I am one myself, they'd shake their heads pretty hard at this site and its ilk. Of course there are a lot of off-the-wall Baptists the same as any other group, and i won't deny that, as I've come across some whoppers, but we're not all like that.

He's been banned, he's not going to get your offer for sympathy sodomy.
