    Just curious..

    Are you part of a reformed baptist Church?

    Do you require one to be a calvinist/reform in theology?..If yes, would that mean baptists like a Charles Stanley/Billy graham could not be members then?

    My church is not reformed. I know of four or five people who are Calvinists, and we are in a definite minority.

    It is not a test of fellowship in the congregation I serve. I am a deacon, choir director and teacher. Another Calvinist is a deacon, teacher, and chairs our Finance Committee. Another Calvinist is a deacon, directs our Sunday School and leaves in a couple of weeks on a mission trip. Another is a teacher.

    All of us have spoken from our pulpit as laymen.

    All of us hold to the traditional Baptist distinctives, and Baptist ecclesiology. The Baptist Faith and Message is our doctrinal statement.

    We have a variety of eschatalogical views among our members, but they're not a test of fellowship, either.
