I was a Baptist up until last year, when I began to discover the truth of the Church created by Christ himself. I was very disturbed by the minimal and short history I could find about Baptists. All the books on Christian history talked about Catholics until 1500 years after Christ rose from the dead. It was not until then that all the splits occurred and we got Lutherans, Episcopals (Anglicans), Baptists (1600’s), and the myriad of other denominational splits…
I’m just plain ecstatic about being a part of Christ’s Church! It’s great to express my faith in as full a way as I can. Don’t get me wrong – I love my Baptist past… My dad is an ordained Baptist pastor. I am eternally grateful for a Christian upbringing… and I’m also eternally grateful that the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and plucked the strings there and got me to thinking “… what is the history of the Baptist church?..” … which lead to a good solid year of reading, praying, soul-searching and ultimately taking action.
May the Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Welcome to the forums!
