I have looked and there are a LOT of 1st Baptist Churches..?

Question

How do they know which one is really first. And if they aren't first, aren't they liars?
Is lying a sin in the 14400th First Baptist Church????

Answer 1

The answer from DuckPhup is hilarious!

Yeah, why aren't there 2nd or 3rd Baptist Churches? Why do they all have to be 1st?

"The only problem with Baptists is they don't hold them under long enough."

Answer 2

Each town/city routinely has a First Baptist, not in general. With the founding of most cities and towns in America came the churches as well most had baptist and it became common for the first baptist church to be called the First of this or that city, the same as there is routinely a united Methodist, especially in the bible belt.

Answer 3

Every city has their own First Baptist Church

Answer 4

i'm a Lutheran and that i have been to both the Baptist and Catholic church homes. i could not quite develop into Catholic, yet am Lutheran that is immediately off the Catholic church, so extra corresponding to the Catholic church than the Baptists are. Sounds good in case you're doing nicely spiritually on the Baptist church. appears like you want some severe prayer about this. i'd say in case you won't be able to keep on with the Catholic way faithfully, Protestant is nice too, and Baptist is superb. yet another view is to attempt yet another Catholic church, possibly a huge one the position you may have extra bible study, ministries, and different techniques to study and serve God. enable your mom comprehend that Baptists are Christian too and also you aren't to any extent further giving up on God. keep going to church and praying.

Answer 5

Nearly every town has a First Baptist Church because, well, that Baptist church was the first one in town. I currently attend a First Baptist Church and I have visited a Fourth Baptist Church in another town (that's as high a count as I've seen in a single town).

A man arrived at the gates of Heaven.

St. Peter asked, "Religion?"

The man said, "Methodist."

St. Peter looked down his list and said, "Go to Room 24, but be very quiet as you pass Room 8."

Another man arrived at the gates of Heaven.

"Religion?"

"Catholic."

"Go to Room 18, but be very quiet as you pass Room 8."

A third man arrived at the gates.

"Religion?"

"Jewish."

"Go to Room 11 but be very quiet as you pass Room 8."

The man said, "I can understand there being different rooms for different faiths, but why must I be quiet when I pass Room 8?"

St. Peter told him, "Well, the Baptists are in Room 8, and they think they're the only ones here."

Answer 7

Haha. I like this! If I were them, I wouldn't be proud of being the 1st to begin the Baptist heresy...

How can you ask such a stupid question? That is not what first baptist means. Can these questions get more idiotic than this?

Answer 9

"There are three religious truths:  1) Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.  2) Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith.  3) Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store or at Hooters."  ~ Author Unknown

"I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off.  So I ran over and said "Stop! don't do it!"

"Why shouldn't I?"  he said. 

I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He said, "Like what?"

I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?" He said, "Religious." 

I said, "Me too!  Are you Christian or  Buddhist?" He said, "Christian." 

I said, "Me too!  Are you Catholic or Protestant?" He said, "Protestant." 

I said, "Me too!  Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?" He said, "Baptist!" 

I said, "Wow!  Me too!  Are you Baptist church of god or Baptist church of the lord?" He said, "Baptist church of god!"

I said, "Me too!  Are you original Baptist church of god, or are you reformed Baptist church of god?" He said, "Reformed Baptist church of god!"

I said, "Me too!  Are you reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?"  He said, "Reformed Baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!" 

I said, "Die, heretic scum," and pushed him off.
