OSAS - The Baptist Advantage

I was baptized three times in my teenage years. As a teenager my main thought was that it was fun. I do not regret it either.

1. GARBC Baptist - In a Baptistry
2. Freewill Baptist - In a River
3. Pentecostal Holiness - In a River

There are issues of the foundations of salvation in all the churches I have attended. If I were to "threaten" someones salvation...

OSAS - Raise eyebrows.... "Are you trying to threaten my salvation?"
Non OSAS - Probably wouldn't see them again

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he... - Proverbs 23:7

Believing in your heart that you are secure in your salvation is huge.

Why (if you don't mind me asking) were you baptized three times? Were the first two not valid baptisms?

I was a teenager. It was fun. I had thought that if one joined a church one ought to be baptized into it as well. Once learned in scripture I found out one baptism was enough. No regrets. No need also for a fourth baptism.

I am not aware of "issues of the foundations of salvation" in the churches I have attended over the past sixty years. I am curious to know what your experience was, if you care to share.

The term "backsliding" for one. If the foundations of salvation are set you won't hear of that individual backsliding back into the world. Thus the saying....

The Baptist don't believe in backsliding
The Methodist practice it

With the Methodist type revivals it seems like the whole country is getting saved. And then... What happened?

I have attended charismatic churches in which people are so weak in their salvation that just looking at them wrong is enough to drive them away from church.
