How often does your church offer the Lord's Supper? On which days of the week? A.M. or P.M? Did they switch the name from Lord's Supper to 'communion?' Have you ever known anyone who showed up just for that due to Jesus' command 'this do in remembrance of me?' Was Jesus directing his words to...

Hello, I'm Thomas. I recently started delving into the Word again and going back to church. I've decided on going to a local Baptist church in my town, joining a few Bible study groups and getting to know other like-minded Christians to which we can fellowship. I live in B.C., Canada and I'm 23...

Ok... so I'm not feeling that great today, so please try to go easy on me? I have a theory. I see so many examples of God's grace in different denominations... godly grandparents and great-grandparents in my own Baptist family, saints I admire in the Catholic and Orthodox churches, learned and...

Happy Easter! He is Risen! :blacksunrays: If you've been following my other musings the past couple days, you probably know a little of what I'm going through... how I'm questioning my Protestant heritage, and struggling with how to read Church history and remain a Protestant. If you're new to...

I am a college freshman. I was approached by a really nice student a few months ago who was conducting a survey about how different Christians interpreted the Bible. She invited me to attend her Bible study, and I did. Their purpose in this Bible study is to not focus as much on what each...

Hi! I am a Kjv Bible believing Baptist lady 35+ years old , happily married mamma of beautiful house full of girls, God serving (loving)Bible loving, craft loving, cooking loving, gardening loving, all shabby chic loving, tea loving, .... i am looking for fellowship with like minded ladies (...

So in my quest to un-mess everything from my childhood and (God help my) teenage and beyond years, I today took James 5:16 and ran with it. Or, rather, walked with it, it's hot and I'm a large man and I had no money for parking... Basically, I grew up in a Baptist church and am going there...

While I am a Baptist, the church I attend isn't Baptist per se. It might've been once, but it's more non-denominational than anything. I do believe they are a God-fearing church and are scripturally sound amid a few minor disagreements I have with them. However, there is one major issue that...

During those times at church when we are told to close our eyes, bow our heads, etc. during prayer time, I find it easier to keep my eyes open. Don't get me wrong; I still pray. I find it more comfortable to look down at the floor or up at the ceiling or stare off into space during prayer...

I'm a new member just testing the waters here, so to speak. *Baptist *Conservative Libertarian *Young-Earth Creationist *KJV Only *Cessationist *Post Millennialist I imagine I've shared enough info about myself to spark up potentially interesting conversation with people from all walks of...

Former Baptist minister here. Spent a decade in the wilderness. Much has changed, but God preserved me through it all. I'm here to gain insights, participate in discussions, and to find friends. It's hard to talk to people around me about the spiritual life. Thanks! Jason

I know that one does not apply for a church position the same way s/he would apply for a position outside the church; but I am wondering about what the entry point is? As a long-time Baptist, I have heard terminology like being "called" to the ministry, "surrendering" to full-time service, and...

I am a Christian in my mid-50s who attends a Presbyterian church but was saved/baptized in a Southern Baptist environment. Looking forward to the fellowship and discussion.

I'm currently a freshman in college, and on my campus religion is accepted well. Where I've run into controversy is my workplace. I've worked at the same place since I was 15..so this is my 4th year there. However, a girl that works at one of our other locations has joined us. We'll call her...

Reasons why I could personally never chose to be Catholic: Baptist prospective 1st of all, comparing spiritual things with spiritual, I feel that as old as the Roman Catholic Church is; it still has not worked out it's kinks. - 1 Corinthians 2:13 (KJV Bible) I feel like if I'm going to partake...

Many Blessings, Amen?!

Hello! I am conducting research for a novel that will involve the faith (or lack thereof) of people from a variety of spiritual and ethnic backgrounds. To create believable characters in a manner that is both accurate and respectful, I would like to conduct interviews with people of...

Hello all. I'm new to this forum and joined so I can perhaps get some help. All my life I've been a practicing Catholic and was brought up in the faith by my mother. A year ago my dad who never attended church suddenly "found Jesus" after attending a service at his friend's Baptist church. So...

my name is Jasev. When my grandson Jamie introduced me to this wonderful site, I was over the moon!!!!! (although of course there is no space, the only thing above us is heaven!) a place where fellow christians can mingle and talk without having to leave their house?that is an idea only god...

Hey everyone. I'm pretty new to this thread, so I'm sorry in advance for such a heavy question, but I think insights from other Christians might really help and somewhat calm the storm inside me. I'm in a bit of a tough spot in my faith and I'm not really sure how to handle it. I don't have a...
