    NOT trolling here!

    it does seem that some are saying unless a Baptist Church, they would not be able to "do church!"

    Just seeing IF they would feel baptist only "real" church in that case!

    I don't "do church."
    I don't have a religion; I have a relationship.
    I don't do to be a Christian; I walk by faith.
    My faith is in Christ, the Son of the living God; not in "church."

    The Bible commands one to be: saved, baptized, and be joined to a local assembly "that is a pillar and ground of the truth."

    I don't consider those other denominations to be "pillars and a ground of the truth" for various reasons.

    Having come to that conclusion for various good and Biblical reasons, if there was not a Baptist church in the area I would start one.

    Your answer would "seem" to be saying, at least to me, that you would consider only "baptist" churches as being valid NT ones!

    Do you consider demoninational baptist churches like SBC as being "valid" than?

    Quit trolling. Stop baiting. Don't put words in people's mouths. Next time I will give an infraction. Read what I said, not what you think I said.

    What is the TOPIC repeated for you at the topic of the page?

    IF Not A Baptist, Which Church Would You Be Attending?

    What does SBC mean?
    Southern Baptist CONVENTION. (not denomination)

    Stay on topic.

    I've always wanted to see inside a Kingdom Hall. And, I can only imagine the responses if someone here actually left a Baptist church to join a Kingdom Hall. The only problem I have is that the JW's don't teach the truth about Jesus and salvation. Therefore, I could not seriously contemplate joining this cult.

    Hmmm. Which one if not Baptist. I would definetly want a group that is similar to Baptist.

    I guess ths closest to Baptists that I know of is the Cambellite groups that usually brand themeslves as just "So and So Christian Church".

    I fellowshipped at one for a while back in the 80's and it pretty much had the same vibe as A Baptist Church.

    First choice would be a Messianic Congregation, second would be E-Free.

    E-Free locally is conservative doctrinally (evangelical in music and standards non-existant). Many Baptists there who got tired of fighting and bickering over non-biblical baggage.

    Messianic locally tends pentecostal so not interested.

    Community Church (our "mega") is Church of God without the name but all the wrong doctrine.

    Only church that does not have "Baptist" in the name but is 100% Baptist, reformed soteriology, family-integrated, elder led with a dynamic yet humble pastor is www.sovereigngracechurch.com an alternative to the typical Baptist church in Central Wyoming.

    I've heard of this fellow, but his name eludes me.

    I've heard, though, that one his most admirable qualities is his humility.

    I guess where I live, it would have to be the Anglican Mission in the Americas, or the Church of the Nazarene.

    There are a number of Welsh Congregational Churches in PA ....none in NJ though. I'd go that route.

    There are a number of churches in our area that aren't baptist but doctrinally are right in line, so if there were no baptist churches around here (like that will ever happen here in the deep south), then we'd visit some of those. :thumbsup:
