Hello New Christian Here

[TallTexas]

Hi , New Christian in my 50's I consider myself Baptist though I do not have a Church. Also I lean reformed (been reading the puritans) Does anyone else think that those guys are brilliant? Also have been reading Reformed Theology along with the KJV. If at all possible I really need some Christian fellowship with other believers with similar beliefs but I am no Theologian So my conversations may be a bit remedial.

Welcome to the forums. I am a Catholic, but Protestants and Orthodox and folks who everything in between are brothers in Christ, as we are all one body in Christ.

Also, it is recommended that you find a church (even if you only go once a month), if possible, as the state of the world is in decline, and a church can help you through your spiritual journey.

I very much Agree with the statement about the state of the world. If I can find one I will probably go 3 times a week if I can get there. Thanks for the Welcome.

You are welcome, bro. Wow, 3x a week is a good goal. Just find a church that puts God first, and does not focus on politics, or worldly things.

Here is a checklist that could be used as a guide for finding a good church:

Worldly Churches: A Checklist

Hello folks. How can we discern if a church is worldly (idolizes the world) or spiritual? Have any of you encountered a "worldly" church? What were some warning signs or red flags that helped you decide to leave a church? Here is a 10-part checklist to help aid us on our church journeys. 1...

Study the word of God for yourself .... we don't need any "earthly labels".

Reformed theology teaches God's purpose of predestination in electing to salvation.

Do some biblical due diligence about this.

Yes I have done some study on predestinatin and pre-election . I have more questions than answers. Those two things I'm not sure about. But I like to read The puritans , I think there is much to be gleaned from their writings.
