1. Started out Southern Baptist (something close to fundamentalist)
2. Became Southern Baptist (FUNDAMENTALIST, with "proper" SBC political views)
3. Became Southern Baptist (fundamentalist, heavily leaning toward Reformed theology, noticing that the "proper" SBC political views had little to do with truth and much more to do with power grabs)
4. Became Southern Baptist (fundamentalist, rejected Reformed theology because of its inherent flaws, rejected the so-called "conservative resurgence" of the SBC because of witnessing that ungodly witch-hunt of people I know)
5. Became Texas Baptist (BGCT) after the SBC started its campaign of changing the Baptist Faith and Message into an unbiblical confession (1998) and then heretical confession (2000 edition).
6. Stayed Texas Baptist but realized recently that my personal theology which has grown from careful study of the Bible could possibly be a very similar view to Open Theism. (I just heard about Open Theism a few months ago when I came across an article where some of the SBC hotshots were criticizing it. I was ready to condemn the heresy too, but couldn't figure out what the problem was. I'm reading up on Open Theism now to make sure I understand it before I identify myself that way.
How's that for a long answer that will probably tick off everyone?
