Question
since there is no baptist church per se. it appears that all
responses are really personal opinions. when you say you are a baptist giving a baptist answer this really is not a fact-
since baptist have many conflicting theologies. the question is
as baptist- whatever that entails- should you not qualify your
answers as "it my personal opinion etc." baptist dna from my
personal experience is one of continuing personal bible interpretation posing as gospel. some hope i see is in the
self criticism on decisional regeneration -altar calls and now
the "reformed" baptist churches. regards ken
Hi Ken,
Unfortunately no matter what denomination we will all always have our own opinions,we come to these opinions using the free will that God gave us. You see the Bible tells each one of us just what we want and need to know at the time as it is the Living Word.
I see the Baptist fath obviously following John the Baptist in repentance for our sins. It is also mostly NT and the covenant of Jesus, we practice love and forgiving at all times, no matter how hard it can be.
Baptists also see worship as a great honour to God, but at the same time thrive in its way of worship, this being happy worship.
This probably is not much help, but I hope I have given you an incite into it.
Regards and God Bless
Clive

Expertise
I can answer most questions on the subject of the Baptist/Christian faith. I am an active member of a Baptist Church Fellowship. I study the Bible and the Scriptures every day and have no problem talking to people about this. I am more than happy to answer the Lord's calling and help and support all people that are in need. I believe that is now my role in life.
Experience
Some times people go the wrong way in life because they have been let down by those that are close to them. It is all about trust, compassion and support.
I carry out a lot of outreach work, so I know how important these things are to be able to reach people. I have worked with drug addicts and the homeless, as well as young people who have lost their way in life or are in prison.
Organizations
Baptist Fellowship.

My articles and letters have appeared many times in the local paper.

I am am a Deacon and secretary of my church, and also spend lots of time now also ministering to people in old folks homes as well as other outreach work.
Awards and Honors
I have won a National award for working with and supporting sick people.
Past/Present Clients
I do not call them clients, they are people in need of the love of God and of people.
I have mentored many young people, including those that are in our local prison, to hopefully live an honest and Christian life.
