Greetings in Christ!

[Prussian Peasant]

Hi there. As far as I can see, new members are exprected to introduce themselves; so let's go. I am German, was born in Germany and have grown up and been living there since then. Raised up Lutheran, I found saving faith in Jesus at the age of almost 14. In autumn of 1986, I joined an independent Baptist church where I was baptized in May 1987. I fully agree with the Chicago declaration on the inerrancy of the Bible, became a five point Calvinist in the early 1990s and an amillennialist some 15 or 20 years ago. So I guess my best label is "Reformed Baptist." In 1995, I graduated the Freie Theologische Akademie in Giessen, Germany. Since then, I have been serving on a voluntary basis in several small free churches in northern Germany, but had to take a longer break due to health issues. For a living, I am translating books into German, mostly from English. Ah, and since my name is almost unpronounceable to native English speakers, you may call me Jo.

Yo! Jo!
Welcome!
And please pardon my humor.

No Pardon necessary, I understand and sometimes even like dark British/English humor. And thanks for welcoming me.

Welcome to the Baptist Board!

Jo, What town in Deutschland do you hail from?
Many here on BB were in the US military and spend time over there.
Myself, I was stationed in Zweibruecken, Wildflecken, and Mainz.

And which IFB church did you attend?

BTW - welcome to BB.
Looking forward to your input.
