ANY here Married To Christian NOT Baptist?

you will have to play that one out for me Ann as I dont see it. BTW, I go to a church that is DoG orientated & my wife doesnt go to church at all....I told you she was burned several years ago so she wont go. Ive been married 25 yrs & we are ok.

 

We attend different churches although we have the same beliefs.

The only issue dividing is what is offered at "his" does not meet the current needs of our grade school gd, so I take her to "mine."

That will probably change as she ages and we will pick one or the other.

It isn't a problem for us and causes us no problems.

We have a very strong marriage and very strong faith.

 

I grew up in Church of England, same as wife. I was also saved in the Church of England. Later joined the Plymouth Brethren and then Baptist Union in the UK.

I served as a chaplain in Canadian Army (Anglican). Wife and I were married in Anglican Church.

I pastored baptist churches in Canada and wife always attended those churches. We are still married, so I guess we did ok.

I am a very strong baptist in every way and have been since 1958. I accept twice-born believers from other churches and enjoy their fellowship in Christ. It does not have to be antagonistic because we disagree in theology.

Cheers,

Jim

 

My husband and I were both raised Baptist. He no longer attends church, though he still holds to his faith.

Things to work out? Yeah, my raising left me with impression that not attending church was akin to leaving the faith. I grew out of that one. He had to get used to the idea that *I* was going to church regularly and was going to be a (active) member of the church and if he didn't like it, well to bad. And I had to get used to fact that he WASN'T going to be a (active) member of a church and he wasn't going to attend regularly and if I didn't like it, well too bad!

Eventually, he moved his membership from the church he'd been raised in (and baptisted in) to the church I attend as a show of family unity and we all got used to life as it is. We don't always like it, but we are mature enough to deal with our differences. Our marriage is fine btw.

I agree with Ann and Jim. You don't have to attend a Baptist church to serve the Lord.

 

Well she doesn't go to any church & I have to accept it, not that I like it. Besides if I had my druthers we would be going to a Primitive Baptist Church & unfortunately there are none in NJ. I have communicated with them regarding a church plant however. God willing, we will put one in Northern NJ.:thumbsup:

 

She would probably allow me to, but churches have used & hurt her so she is extremely skeptical of their motives. I think my brother & family with their IFB shtick was the last straw. She has seen children estranged from family & very hypocritical people etc & so she is very gun shy. dont think I could ever get her into a church again unless it was radically different ....that is why I mentioned the PB's. They are certainty radically different but I am in NW NJ & you & I both know its not a hotbed for religion so unless a mirical happens...
