Wow!<br /><br />Then again, Paul describes the problems in Christian community where the rich were looking down on the poor, and the Jewish Christians always had problems accepting the Gentiles. Fortunately in our country God has provided thousands of churches and He has provided a place for us to worship <i>in community</i>.<br /><br />Both the EFCA and PCA are denominations with great churches. Now that I have worked through the infant baptism thing, I find it beautiful and don&#39;t want to go back theologically. It&#39;s a tough one to work through, but I think it illustrates how God works much better than adult only baptism. If you have some contemporary PCA churches in your area, you should give them a try.<br /><br />I trust God will guide you to a place of community, as he will us.RBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15756347462846643841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10552022.post-2856519475947711002011-05-11T00:19:15.404-04:002011-05-11T00:19:15.404-04:00Man I can definitely relate to you on the loneliness feelings. I was raised in the SBC and recently moved and am now finding myself moving away from the baptist way of life and into something different. Right now I&#39;m in an efca church and am considering the PCA. It&#39;s tough trying to work through this whole baptism thing. Anyways, with that said it&#39;s been really lonely in my new church trying to find community. I thought it would be easier than this.jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12788728085923706269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10552022.post-72708293531113604442008-08-22T08:54:00.000-04:002008-08-22T08:54:00.000-04:00That's not just a baptist thing, you know. All churches have people who miss the mark on what Jesus was really saying. <BR/><BR/>I know He is so sad that we don't look beyond the do's and don'ts to the HEART of it all.<BR/><BR/>Those of us who grew up in "Bible Belt" churches believed what we were taught--we didn't bother to see if Scripture backed it up. <BR/><BR/>I grew up in a Southern Baptist church and am thankful for that heritage. However, I did not become a Christian until I was 19 years old. It wasn't until I saw someone actually living the WORD in front of me that I discovered what was missing in my life.<BR/><BR/>As my daughter was growing up I made sure that when I gave her a DON'T that she knew why. We would look at Scripture and see how Jesus steers us from places and things that can harm our spirits, our bodies, and our minds. <BR/><BR/>I am making sure I pass along things that matter for Christ and His Salvation.<BR/><BR/>In closing, would a better term be "recovering Christian"?<BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Sheryl DeanSherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09729469432415468511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10552022.post-26856849048782435072008-02-19T12:22:00.000-05:002008-02-19T12:22:00.000-05:00Thanks for this valuable info. I am having friends over this Sunday to discuss a book, and we are going to have a beer and cheese tasting before dinner. My husband and I live in Atlanta, as well. Your blog title cracks me up, because he and all of this friends are recovering baptists, as well. Maybe a tad bit bitter still, they all now go various presbyterian churches. Perhaps we know each other! Anyway - you should check out The Brick Store - it is beer lover's heaven, and unique in all the world. Even bars in Belgium (and I have been twice) don't have that vast a selection in one place. Congratulations on overcoming the lies and legalism! May you live freely in the true gospel and the knowledge that Jesus loves you regardless of what you do, that you can't earn your way into heaven (it ain't about that anyway), and that good beer and wine and cheese and food is a good thing. :)Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15716892774578859711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10552022.post-1153315194472478312006-07-19T09:19:00.000-04:002006-07-19T09:19:00.000-04:00Hey Josh, it looks like you can do something about your representation in DC.

God bless you. I similarly have been chagrined to have to return to my big church roots to engage in the mission work that is important to me. It has been awkward at times when I am called upon to "witness," and I don't want to dishonor their work with my differing emerging theology so I play the role, do the work and thank God for the opportunity.Kel aka Daddyohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700240752631315856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10552022.post-1147897766251246662006-05-17T16:29:00.000-04:002006-05-17T16:29:00.000-04:00Oliver - This is not a completely happy story. The reason the Chimay was such a bargain is that this particular local store is clearing its shelves. It seems that Chimay is not as popular as it was six months ago, and the store needs to clear 4 feet of space for different "imports." However, if you'd like to email me I'll reveal another location where I just found you can get similar prices. I would publish it here, but I'm afraid that they might stock out before I can completely fill up my fridge!RecoveringBaptisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07016827798618929346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10552022.post-1147897614746929882006-05-17T16:26:00.000-04:002006-05-17T16:26:00.000-04:00Hi Ming.
