I'm a member of a Southern Baptist church, but I'm more of a Christian "mutt". During my Christian walk, I've attended Presbyterian, Assembly of God, and several non-denominational churches. Additionally, I've also attended Army chapel services and missionary home churches while I was in the Army. I've felt at home in each of them, but never completely agreed with any of them on all doctrines. I like this site for the same reason that I like this church. As was mentioned earlier, Baptists are generally very welcoming. I enjoy the discussions here, even when others disagree with my views. Generally, I find the members of this forum very cordial and mature. We may not always agree, but we can remain friendly, as we agree on our core Christian beliefs.

[EDIT] Forgot to mention - along the way, I've also picked up some Reformed Theology (Calvinist) doctrines. I chew the meat of what I pick up and spit out the bones that I don't agree with.

I think you've got a healthy attitude. I, too, have attended many different denominations since I left Orthodoxy. Moving from the big city to this very rural outpost has made that somewhat more difficult since more miles are involved, but there are still a lot of churches dotting the countryside out here. Of course the pandemic has curtailed my attendance and visitations, but I hope to resume sometime.

Thanks, yes, I would like to know what kinds of Baptists are here -- if the list is not too long. :)

...then maybe a vote should be taken amongst the Baptists on whether to eliminate the 'Other Denominations Forum'. I think it's very rude of Baptists to invite 'Other Denominations' to the board and then bare their teeth in contempt and detest at them for their beliefs. The odds are you're going to spend eternity in glory with these people.

Thank you for your kind, reasonable, and Christlike response. A personal note: Since I've been here, I've read quite a lot of your posts, and, while I do have disagreements with you, I don't find your manner disagreeable.

I must say I'm delighted there is a sub-forum here for "Other Christian Denominations". I wouldn't have been able to participate otherwise. I've enjoyed my time here; the experience has been valuable to me. I hope this sub-forum is not eliminated. Of course, if I become Baptist, I would be able to stay regardless, but even then I would hope this sub-forum would remain. I get a lot out of interacting with Christians whose beliefs are different from mine, as well as the same as mine.

I've been a member of 2 Southern Baptist churches, a non-denominational Calvinist group, and 2 Primitive Baptist churches (current) 'along the way'. :)

Only Jesus can do that in person. No human can stand in the place of Jesus.

I think that you would need Scripture to prove humans can do the same work as Christ did on the Cross. If a human could do that, then you may have a point. Without Scripture, any human claiming that ability, would be a cult, or false Christ.

Your point about the Holy Spirit is moot. Jesus was the only one who can offer that supper, even if the Holy Spirit is involved.

What about when Our Lord said, "Do this in memory of Me"? Since He said that then He was giving them and their successors the authority to carry out what He was doing. It also has to be remembered that it is ultimately Christ Who is offering the Mass since he is the eternal High Priest.

Remembrance is one thing. Christ doing the Lord's Supper is a totally different experience.

For me, it was because Baptist’s are so welcoming, tolerant and accepting, like the Mennonite sites.

Catholic sites can be echo chambers, where you hear the same views. I like to hear a diversity of views, learn a lot that way.

Unfortunately, Mennonites seem to be accepting of almost everything except biblical Christianity.

Isn't it your religion that subscribes to papal infallibility? How does that work when his infallible words contradict the God-breathed word?

All the gift of Infallibility means is the Pope gets struck dead if he tries to teach error. It’s a gift to the Church, not the one sitting in the Chair of Peter.

It’s like the Chair of Moses for the Israelites, God guided and taught Israel authoritively from the Chair of Moses.
If some dude thought his interpretations of scripture were better than the Chair of Moses, he was a heretic.

“He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,”

Even though caiaphas was a nasty fellow, God still operated through him in the Chair of Moses.

Judaism from our perspective is pre messianic Catholicism and Catholicism is post Messianic Judaism. In answer to your question.

Why is your interpretation of scripture right and the Mennonites interpretation of scripture wrong. You dudes are reading the same bible?

I thought the whole “ Bible alone “ idea you share meant all you needed was to pick up the Bible and interpret it yourself and you would have all the truth you needed. In fact dudes are telling me the Bible interprets Itself.

If the Bible interprets itself, What’s gone seriously, seriously wrong here.

Do Mennonites even have Bibles? Dude, let me assure you, Mennonites have Bibles, I checked, it’s true.

Are Mennonites just stupid? No, there were two Mennonite theology professors I spoke with that knew the Bible back to front. Sounded highly intelligent and I learned a lot.

Do Mennonites Love Jesus? Yep, don’t even go there.

Do Mennonites say they rely on The Holy Spirit to understand the scripture? Definitely, just like every other Bible alone Church I’ve come across.

So why don’t you consider them “ biblical Christianity “?

If someone confesses Christ as their Lord and Savior they are fine with me. Every one reads the bible through unique lenses.
I imagine that at some point the Lord will have to straighten us all out.
