Babtist?

[Hellisreal]

I’m sorry, It was probably me that misspelled Baptist. You know you can’t spell when you can’t find it on a spell checker. I can spell CATHOLIC real well.

You should not be sorry for being human.

How do I get that spell-check button to appear? It is not there now, in the right hand corner, not in mine anyway.

For one thing I’m assuming you use Internet Explorer.

For another, try scrolling right way down to the bottom left hand corner of your screen it’ll say ‘CA Desert’ ‘CA Khaki’ ‘CA Goldenrod’ etc - choose ‘CA Blue’. That might do it.

The number 1 search result for ‘babtist’ on wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=babtist&sourceid=mozilla-search

That gave me a good laugh.

Shame the Southern Baptists didn’t make the same change - they surely were and are still confused about it!

There is a church in Pittsburgh called “St John the Baptist Orthodox Church” and many visiting Baptist tourists have accidentally dropped in on Sunday mornings.

I used to work in a CS office and on enrollment forms, even teachers there would misspell the name of the church that issued their paychecks.

Very funny !

If you knew you would die to be one

…Just like the dozens of Fundamentalist pastors converting to the Catholic faith in recent years.

Allischalmers, if you knew about the Catholic faith, you would love to be one!

God bless you sibling in Christ…

“Regular” (or “Particular”) Baptists hold to Calvinist views, such as the idea that Christ died for a “particular” group of people, not all.

Regular Baptists and Particular Baptist are two different groups.

Which kind of Baptist are you, Allis?

and the smart one’s are staying protestant!

I have learned a lot about the Catholic faith the last couple of years and I know a whole lot about the Baptist faith, so no thanks, my faith has found as resting place, not in device or creed, I trust the ever living one, who give his life for me

God Bless

You could not be a faithful Catholic unless you do this. I know that you are set in your ways for now, but I admire the fact you’re at least open to understanding the faith.

Did a search for churches in my state on the link provided and only 2 in the entire state.

Amazing huh? And I’m right in the middle of the bible belt.

My mother grew up Hard-Shell Baptist. They make Regular Baptists look like Quakers.

Don,t know what a Hard-Shell Baptist is,

 

[Ahimsa]

Hard-Shell Baptist believe that missionary work is a farce: everyone is predestined for either salvation or damnation, and to assume that humans have any control over that issue, is the height of mortal folly.

Roger that, thanks for the link, I will read up on the Regular Baptists. My maternal grandmother was a Southern Baptist, and a very Godly woman who lived her faith quietly but was able to defend it when called upon.

I think it’s great that you hang out here to learn about Catholicism, and we are able to learn about Baptists from you. Thanks for being here.

As a former Baptist, I find this statement highly offensive.

I have learned a lot about the Catholic faith the last couple of years and I know a whole lot about the Baptist faith, so no thanks, my faith has found as resting place, not in device or creed, I trust the ever living one, who give his life for me

…

If you really knew about the Catholic faith you would know that Catholics do not place their faith in any device or creed either, but in Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures. Honestly. We don’t PUT our faith IN the Creed any more than you PUT your faith in the GARBC Statement of Faith or Church Constitution.

Is there anyone else out there who is intrigued with the “Babtist” spelling of "Baptist?

Here in the south, its pronounced “Babdist”.

 

[flyersfan1088]

They call John the baptizer because that is what he did, baptize the Jews, but also because he wea a regular Baptist

How was he part of a sect that wouldn’t exist for another 1500 years?

 

[flyersfan1088]

Regular Baptists and Particular Baptist are two different groups.

Particular baptists and General baptists merged to form Regular baptists. After that Regular baptists merged with Separate baptists to form United baptists. Gets confusing after awhile, all the splitting and merging. I don’t know how anyone keeps track of it all.
