WHY ARE YOU A SOUTHERN BAPTIST?

THIS IS IT ------------------------------------------ >>>>>>>>>
My sole reason for being a Southern Baptist is the Word of God. I was taken to a Southern Baptist Church in Triangle, Virginia when I was just a toddler. There I grew up learning Bible verses, stories and all about missionaries around the world who were sharing God's Word and expressing His love. I saw evidence of God's love in how I was cared for by the FBC in Triangle. I find it most interesting that if you place a dot on the United States map in Triangle, Virginia where I first went to church and then in East Hartford, Connecticut where I received Christ as my Savior, then one in Lawton, Oklahoma where I now reside, and then connect those dots, you will have a triangle.

I trust and believe in a TRIUNE Sovereign God Who manifests Himself through His only begotten Son, named Jesus, Who attoned for my sin and blessed me with His indwelling presence by way of His ever-present Holy Spirit. I was mentored, discipled and loved by multiple Southern Baptist people. I have fellowshipped with many and had the opportunity of serving Christ by serving them as a teacher, a deacon's wife, a minister's wife and a writer.

I have studied other faiths and find the closest any faith has come to following the teachings in the New Testament Church of Acts, is the Southern Baptists. I know many regenerated, born-again Christians of different faiths and count them my brothers and sisters in Christ. But for me, a Southern Baptist Church is a place where I belong. Through Southern Baptists I am fed, reproved, edified, and encouraged. In my church and beyond it I've learned to serve in the greatest capacity as a woman according to God's Word. So. That is why I am a Southern Baptist.
If you are one too, why are you? SelahV
