Are Baptists A Generally Boring Congregation?

[JacobHall86]

if what Jesus Christ has done for you isn't exciting then you have a serious problem.

Winner.

As i have told you all before, this is not a question that I need to ask. I am asking on behalf of a friend of mine from a whole different part of the country... he (Kyle) lives nowhere near me... he is new to Christianity... you'd think y'all could be a little more respectful of a new person in our fellowship. When you were new, someone answered all your little questions... so why not extend your found answers to a fellow Christian?

Each baptist Church will be differant, as we dont have set credos on how thing must be done. Its hard to give an exact yes or no or cookie cutter thing on how the service should be.

A SBC like that?? That's a shame. I don't think chaos is supposed to be involved during church. I don't see how that is biblical. I hope you are being fed and equipped. Really, I do.

Like I said before you don't need theatrics to have fun or enjoy church. And so far seems like Baptists have been pretty good at staying away from that kind of thing cause they preach and teach and live by the Word... most of the time.

My comment on running around was a JOKE!!
Except when someones running down to the front or in a Drama of something. My point was who ever said Church couldn't be fun. A comment made A lot by my pastor. I gave you the website did you even look?
My church is the fastest growing church in my area and we have planted many other churches in this counrty and in Brazil has yours? We ARE Fullfilling the Great commission to BE and Build Deciples.

I've had many people tell me...[]...they will be bored to death.

How could anyone look at these threads on this forum and be bored?

For sure, they will die, but boredom will not be one of the causes!

Actually your church is crazy awesome. If it is the church Im thinking of My buddy is your new youth minister. I know he was at the church your church grew out of. He was the interim.

I'm glad! lol I didn't know you were joking. Sounds like you belong to a wonderful church.
Yes we are fullfilling the GC too. I wouldn't belong to a dead church.

I'm going against the grain here. My church is exciting and I love going.

The gospel *IS* exciting and hearing my pastor teach is awesome. God's word never turns back void. There's some though, who doesn't know how to present it well and we all have to admit sitting in a service or class at some point in our life bored and hard to get into it cause of how it's being presented.

Too many christians turns people off with how they present/or live it. We're REDEEMED!!!

Our sins are FORGIVEN!!! We're children of the KING of kings!!! That's EXCITING!!

Some go around with LONG faces and complaining spirits. Who wants that? I've seen people sing in churches......*I have the joy, joy* when it looks like they've been eating on the sourest lemon they could find. Some people say religion is dead cause of the dead looking/talking christians they see.

We're BLESSED!! We're REDEEMED!!

Let God's people say so and show it!! We have the GOOD NEWS! God is Hope, Joy, Peace, Love http://java_script_:emoticon(':sun')/and as christians we have that too and it should show in every action/word even in church.

All of us are guilty at times also coming unprepared spiritually for church services. We have our minds on everything else and flop down expecting the pastor to miraculously spiritually feed us. Sometimes we can *quench* the Spirit in a worship service.

Psalm 40:3 "And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise unto
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in the LORD."[/FONT]
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD” (Psa. 122:1).

“I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name” (Psa. 138:1-2).

If you were to come to my church Fellowship Baptist you would find it anything but boring. Although I must admit that I have been to some rather boring Baptist churches in my life.

If you will check out those I have listed and others to date you will find them to different - definitely not boring.
