I run hot-and-cold on Baptists.
I work with and have met many who are genuinely admirable people in their walk of faith. They simply practice what they preach and make no judgments.
I have also met those who are incredibly intolerant, pious, and sanctimonious, and whose behavior is quite self-righteous. They are so proud they have Bible verses memorized and can plug them in to any situation ad nauseam, with total disregard for context, and hold those in contempt who are not able to rattle off books, chapters, and verses.
To generalize or lump them altogether should be avoided because we, as Catholics, do not like it when non-Catholics generalize and pigeon-hole us into a category.
Speaking from my own personal experience, without any scientific evidence or survey to claim it as authenticated and accurate for all, I have often perceived Baptists as bait-and-switch sales people pitching their interpretation of the Gospel with the adamant attitude that those who do not align with their belief system are on the proverbial highway to Hell. Even on this forum, I observe some pleasant discussions among Catholics and Baptists, only to read the often-accompanied Baptists’ comments’ of how well-versed they are in the Bible and how they have the interpretations right and the Catholics have it wrong.
For me, a question from a Baptist has a hidden agenda. Last week, I received a telephone call form a Baptist minister and he asked me if I was active in and attended a church. I said “yes,” but did not inform him which church (after all, he only asked a question that could be answered “yes” or “no” and I suppressed the urge to elaborate because my previous experiences said it would only lead to a no-win discussion). He went on to explain to me that he was looking for those who do not attend a church to consider attending his. He did not pressure me to try his, but thanked me for my time. Again, I was hot-and-cold on this issue. On one hand, it is extremely impressive and proactive to try reach out to those who are not regular church-goers, but then on the other hand there is the solicitation and potential for the continued misrepresentation of the Gospel.
In the end, I try to take each situation on a case-by-case basis, but understand my own shortcomings, lest I think I am perfect and wonderful (of which I am not!), which occasionally give way to prejudices, intolerance, impatience, and overall preconceived negative notions.
That’s my spiel.
… so anyone who leaves the Baptist church is being deceived by Satan:ehh: ? Catholics have a false belief system
? Anyone who isn’t Baptist has a false belief system :ehh:?
. But, the clincher for me is that the three Gospel accounts of the Last Supper, I Cor. 10:14-22 and I Cor. 11:23-32 are not taken literally either, and are largely ignored. The Scriptural case for the Eucharist is stronger than the case for “once saved, always saved”, “saved by faith alone”, or even arguments against the primacy of Peter.
(mind you that his tone was one of disgust - not a positive conversation). That’s why I avoid most of the other issues and talk about the Eucharist at every opportunity. Rather than arguing theology, we are offering a Gift, the greatest Gift - His Body and Blood. If given the opportunity and if there is a true opening I’ll ask, “How would you feel if you could be at the Last Supper and receive Jesus’ Body and Blood from His own hands?” The answer is usually in the affirmative. Then I’ll simply say that that’s what the Mass is.
