Thank you guys for greeting me! As far as the kind of Baptist church I grew up in, it was just a typical Southern Baptist church, kind of evangelical, kind of fundamental. But overall, great and kind people down there. Then I moved up north when I was a little older, and it was the same kind of Baptist church, great people, love the bible, love Jesus. I'm very thankful for my Baptist upbringing, actually. It taught me to love Jesus and his word.
As far as why I decided on the orthodox church, some reasons were forensic justification by faith alone, sola Scriptura, the sacraments, the priesthood, etc. I'm working on a post formulating a friendly critique of sola fide right now, actually, will post that on the "other denomination forum" if anyone is interested. Maybe in the future I'll do a post about why I ultimately chose orthodoxy.
thanks
