Simply because it was not a Baptist church!

I have a friend who was baptized in a Bible (believing) church and a Landmark Bap would not accept it -so he went across town to a SBC church!

I had never heard of it myself until I arrived in Germany and came in contact with a Landmark church.

@ Ascetic X - not sure what you mean by like"?

I just sent a face book message to Wheel I suggest they have city week. Since I live in Syracuse, have all contestant's from Syracuse- but Different States. For example, Syracuse, NY, Syracuse, Kansas, Syracuse, Utah. Each night during that week - have a different city! Thoughts?

Just wondering if this works

Which brings us to another question. You have an individual who wants to join your church. That tell you that they were immersed. When you ask them what church they were baptized in - they state - "Well, 5 years ago, Uncle Joe baptized me - but he is not a member of any church. We just...

I had started a Baptist church in Germany. I was the first pastor (while I was in the Army) My goal was to get a full time pastor. There was an individual who had come to Germany to be a missionary to the Germans; in spite of the fact he did not know German, nor have sufficient financial...

UP - I agree with your statement!s However, how many churches actually do that? Some are just so happy in getting new members - they immediately extend the right hand of fellowship

I was only using KJO as one example -- But lets turn that around - if you had a candidate for membership and they insisted that only the KJV be used - that ALL other versions are perverted - would you want that person to be a member of our local church. The point I'm getting at is that to one...

and how close does that "faith & practice" have to be" Would a KJO church accept a member from a non- KJO? Other "minor" doctrines?
