Baptized (full immersion in church baptistry of the Fourth Baptist Church of Minneapolis) on Easter Sunday (April 5, 1958) a year after I was born again. My wife Teresa was baptized by immersion THE SAME DAY 860 miles away in the baptistry of Calvary Baptist Church of Casper, Wyoming. Always...

Actually, thought of some names of regulars here on the BB that almost every day prove "the more you say, the more useless it is. What good does it do?" Tempting to list them, but if I did, it would show that "I" was just like them wasting breath and bandwidth.

I guess John 3 actually says you must be born again. John 1 doesn't say that. Just minor insignificant things about salvation like: >In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. >But as many as received Him, to...

Glad another "senior saint" is here. Please don't leave. Just post away, but not in the "intro/welcome" area. We're just saying that we've learned over the last 25 years to keep discussions organized and folks just visit the sections they want.

Listen first. When ready to ask, be SURE to go to the correct forum. THIS place of introducing is NOT focused on debate. ABIDE BY OUR RULES.

Pete probably should take lessons from Hillary on how to hide non-secure systems. She only sent 32k and then tried to beach them out. At least he's not cluttering the BB with unsecured comments that show damaging leaks :) :)

There is a nuanced, beautiful cadence/rhythm in the KJV. Anyone who immerses themselves in the reading of the AV cannot but help themselves in their personal writing style. The same may be said of reading Shakespeare or Milton. The benefit of reading the Anglican translation is that it is...

Earnestly contending for the faith once delivered is the command. God knew that with 10 people there would be 12 opinions on every decision and doctrine. In the first decade of the church Paul withstood Peter to the face. Missions? Barnabas, head of the first missionary journey, had such...

Those who hate the cuts are digging deep for any "headline" about how evil this "cleaning up" of graft and waste by Trump's crew. We see them on msm channels and most often they make noise with little substance. Trust if this is a real situation of overreach, it will be quickly corrected...

I grew up in large metro inner city post war. Always found it odd that God would lead me to minister in my first two churches (7 years each) in small, rural dairy farm areas. I knew little about such life/mindset. but so blessed by the people and challenged to learn. To them, it wasn't...

It has always been a mental illness and treated as such by rule (like schizophrenia or bi-polar). You don't "treat it" by allowing it to continue, but by confronting it. It is the result of sin and the fall. Or perhaps demonic. But in no way condoned or accepted. We must unite to stand...

Protecting a free market in a nation always includes tariffs on some goods from other sources IF their tariffs are undue. Fair play. China government subsidizes some industries, allowing them to undercut the world market. US buys cheap and our own production closes down. THEN China has monopoly...

Did not have a lot of positive about Dr King during his lifetime (my college years), but after reading his wife's book (My Life with MLK) saw insights and benefits of his work for the mind of Americans.

"Baptistic" not "Baptist". Great number of churches today that have either eschewed the title or dropped Baptist from church name but NOT in practice.

Today, many churches are "Baptist" in polity and doctrine but don't use the name "Baptist" in the title. We started "Sovereign Grace Church" in 2005; under the title it read "A Reformed Baptist Congregation" so very clearly "Baptist" to any searching. Calvary Chapel is NOT Baptist; it is its...

Most call me a Peculiar Baptist, fer shur. (Founded and pastored a Reformed Baptist Church 16 years before retiring)

Watch out, bro. He said nice things about me, too, so obviously can't be trusted. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Love the humor, bro. No one will believe you, though. ;);)

Federalstas, not states or cities. US nation needs very little money to run (do what Constitution says) Remember Fed income tax dismal failure in Civil War era and quickly abandoned. Not until 1913 modern system began, and only because promise to only tax rich.
