Baptists Only To Include All Chrstians

You could always convert to Baptist...

 

I realize this is off OP topic, so please be understanding. In hopes of not derailing the thread, I will address the OP at the end of my post.

But, at one point I decided to try and change my denomination. I had some personal issues with some leadership (he was too strict and I was too stiff necked and hardheaded). I looked around for a bit at different denominations, most closely at non-denominational (which, ironically, is a denomination). After a few months of searching, I decided to remain Baptist.

Up until that time I was Baptist because I was born Baptist. After that, I was Baptist from choice. I believe (as my signature implies) that Baptists are the closest to the Bible.

Now, to the OP. I'm not trying to be snarky, but the website is baptistboard. If someone who is not Baptist comes here, then posting anywhere is a bonus. They shouldn't expect to be able to join in on Baptist discussions.

That's not to say that all the threads in the Baptist only section should be restricted to Baptists. But I think sometimes threads are posted there because either there isn't a proper area for the discussion elsewhere, or people are afraid that people won't see their thread in another section. Or, it may be that even though the discussion isn't a Baptist only discussion, they only want a Baptist perspective.

Personally, if the topic I post is not a Baptist only issue, I try and put it elsewhere. But I start very few threads. I have a very small amount of posts compared to the time I've been here. (This username since 2012, but lurking since 2002).
