I could almost swear that you'd said you used to be a catholic.
But of course.....I don't want to be bothered looking for that.

I have heard a lot of talk about "southern Baptists". Are they that different ideologically from other kinds of Baptists, or just that they live geographically in the south?

There seem to be Northern Baptists also:

Once upon a time I knew a member of the C of E who had become a Baptist.
That was the first time when I heard the word "Baptist".
 
so not a single republican poster FROM THE US on this site is a Baptist?

or maybe people are afraid to say????
 
14 out of 15 say: No

Same for me, but I converted to Christianity at an evangelical church that does not believe in baptizing babies. So I was baptized twice.

I have never heard of being "baptized Lutheran." People are not baptized into denominations; only being a Christian is what matters for that ceremony,.

You have now 'cause I was "baptized Lutheran" 'Christian.' I remember it like it was yesterday. Pastor sprinkled while saying "I baptize Thee in the name of The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost, and Martin Luther."

I don't believe that for one second. As Christians, Lutherans obviously do not believe their founder is a fourth Person of God.

I was there. You weren't. Aren't you always telling others to not question/dismiss what you have "personally" experienced?
 
Nope.

Worked at a Christian school that was in a Baptist church at one point.

The stories I could tell 😂

For example: those folks hung lists on the wall with how much individuals tithed/who hadn’t tithed.

A-maz-ing. I had never seen anything like that before or since.

But also some of the kindest and nicest people I’ve ever met. And LOTS of food. They seemed to always have some sort of shower, party, wedding, social event on weekends and there would be SO much food on Mondays.

It just does not make any sense.

You are referring to Dragonfly trying to force me to reveal private information about myself and my family, which nobody would feel comfortable doing.

I have no idea what you are referencing as to DF or revealing private info - which I would never advocate anyone to do in an anonymous chat room. I'm only talking about your posts in which you have put forth your personal experiences with your God, and telling others not to question/dismiss those anecdotal experiences. Just like you summarily dismissed my personal experience at the Lutheran Church I attended in my youth.
