    Like Joshua, I'm a Christian first and Baptist second. For me, what is important is whether there is a church (whatever it calls itself) locally where the Word of God is preached and the Spirit of God is active. That said:-

    1. Baptist Union of Great Britain (BUGB)- web site here:- www.baptist.org.uk

    2. No

    3. Yes - brought up RCC, then Anglican (Episcopalian), then a mixture of Pentecostal and charismatic/ house church. Would more accurately describe myself as a post-charismatic conservative-ish evangelical as per the Evangelical Alliance - www.eauk.org

    4. Don't know of any others in the UK, like Jon. If in the US, CBF or the moderates - SBC and IFB too conservative for me; ABC too liberal.

    Yours in Christ

    Matt

    Faith:
    Baptist
    Confession time:

    Question 2: I put CBF only because the churches I was a member of contributed[most of their offerings]to CBF. I still have mixed emotions over going full-steam ahead with them.

    Question 3: I was a member of a United Methodist congregation for three months while in Starkville, MS. I have never actually been a member of a Cumberland Presbyterian church. I only put it there because I was seriously considering joining one of their congregations.

    Hope this helps.

    1. What Baptist Denominaton are you with?
    I'm not part of a Baptist Denomination. I am currently attending an Independant Baptist church.

    2. Have you been with any other Baptist Denominations, (which)
    All the Baptist churches I have been a member of or have attended are IFB

    3. Have you been in another denomination (Which)
    Grew up RCC. Was saved, then became JW for about three years. Then joined a non-denominal church, which became an IFB.

    4. Which Baptist denomination do you like the look of, yet have not been to?
    None. I don't belive "denominations" are biblical.

    So here's some questions,

    1. Southern Baptist Convention

    2. Independent Baptist, graduated from a local Independent Baptist Bible College.

    3. Non-Denominational Ministry

    4. I prefer Southern Baptist because I feel they have a great missions program and I fully agree with the general baptist faith & message.
