welcome SOTK:wave:

tell us a bit about yourself.........

Well, I've been a Christian for about 7 years now. I am a recovered alcoholic and was really introduced to Christ by a fellow recovering alcoholic from A.A.

After becoming a Christian, I spent about 2-3 years reading the Bible and reading non-fiction Christian authors. I didn't attend a Church at all. I was very turned off by organized religion for many years which was one stumbling block to accepting the Truth. I have witnessed religious dysfunction and hypocrisy in my life.

During those 2-3 years as a Christian, I began to understand a lot about who God is and who I was as one of God's Children. I had fellowship with a few Christians, but as I said, I didn't attend Church.

I eventually met a nice Christian woman and decided to attend her Church with her which was a Southern Baptist Church. I felt like the Baptists came as close to what I believed as possible. I joined the Church and was baptized.

This nice Christian woman and I became married. We moved to another city and joined a North American Baptist Church. We have since become very involved in our Church and really love it there.

During all these years, I have continued to study the Word, of course, and have looked into Theological positions which I have never known about. One of these positions is Calvinism. :)

I am still studying Calvinism, but I am happy to say that I believe in all of TULIP. :)
