I feel uncomfortable in some Baptist denominations but not in others. They don't always list which denomination they are. But I'm not saying that you must go to a Baptist church.
Proverbs 3
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

If your AOG church visibly has many obeying "love one another" as Christ commanded, and preaches His words to us, does the Lord's supper, communion, that's all you need to confirm it's a good church choice. There's no obligation to be in a Baptist church.

Unless there's some compelling reason, I would say go where you're fed and where you can contribute. If your husband doesn't attend much anyway, I don't see the need to attend his church. Maybe he would like to visit the AOG church you like?

Some people are just cranks. Having heard from that one, make your own decision about the matter and avoid any more talking about it with her.I explained to someone that I no longer will go to a Baptist Church,that I have felt uncomfortable for 21 years, and she said I must go to a Baptist Church because that is where my husband went (AS a young man) I explained he does not go to church all that much,and why should I go to a Baptist church if I am so uncomfortableI went a lot with out my Husband. I feel out of place at a Baptist Church..
There was not explaining to this person because she thinks I should still go to a Baptist Church
Twenty-one years is long enough for you to know that, if you find a better church, it isn't a decision made in haste or for trivial reasons (not to mention checking out seven [!] other Baptist churches).

I understand you feel attacked because I think it's quite improper to try to force you in a corner this way.
She actually has no business doing so I suppose.
Maybe there will be more this behaviour from other members of your old church.
Don't worry though because you are loved by Him!
Remember: Psalm 27 King James Version (KJV)
27 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
May God the Father an Almighty bless you in the name of Jesus Christ!! I will pray for you and your husband.

I pray that the Lord will make himself real to you,
that you will feel his peace as you pray and read your Bible,
May the Lord bless you and your husband richly
Sing along with me as we come before the Father,

I actually went back for a visit, one lady that NEVER ever talked to me before said oh hey I thought you gave up your letter, another I visited (I had a friend that went there) all because I did not stay she now does not talk to me, another I visited there are 2 ladies that live 3 blocks from me NEVER comes over (I went over there several times) and came up and said Oh i did not know you came here. i thought Okay she is just being nosy, she repeated it about 4 times. My Husband turned and walked out..
Here at the AOG I got a card in mail welcoming Me ,and happy to see me there, and is excited to meet my Son (He works Wed nights and every other weekend so he can only go the week end he does not work... I am so excited to go tonight
It looks like your old church doesn't really understand Mark 12:31 (21st Century King James Version)
31 And the second is like, namely this: ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
They're very intolerant by not treating people, with whom they disagree, with repsect! Nog good signs for any church I'd say.
Very glad you're getting warm welcome now at the AOG!
Oh, and keep me posted!

Yeah it’s so awkward how denominations in fight, instead of just smiling & shaking hands about what they agree with each other about.I explained to someone that I no longer will go to a Baptist Church,that I have felt uncomfortable for 21 years, and she said I must go to a Baptist Church because that is where my husband went (AS a young man) I explained he does not go to church all that much,and why should I go to a Baptist church if I am so uncomfortable

I like Irenic Theology, which is the attempt to unify different denominations, to see eye to eye with each other, to try to understand where each other sees things different. Maybe you can adopt ‘Irenic Theology’ as one of your new favorite talking points towards more ‘Territorial’ Christians lol.
