There are people in my neighborhood that are from the Baptist faith and that they attend First Baptist Church in Naples Florida. But the only problem is that all they care about is saving your soul then being your friend. Also the only people they seem to care about are themselves and not anyone else. I find that very disturbing and if they were really your friends then they would really care about you and be there for you no matter what. Because there are these girls in my neighborhood that I became really close friends with and they were from the Baptist faith and whenever I went to tell them something in confidence and wanted to share my heart with them they would turn on me and put me down just because I was from the Catholic Faith and also because every time I would need them to be there for me in the beginning they would and in the end they wouldn't. and they call themselves Christians? If they were real christians then they wouldn't have to preach the choir to you 24/7.

Great Speculation.

If you are not saved, Christians realize the danger that you are in. They are just trying to help YOU. They are concerned. No, they should not put you down or anything, but if they are true Christians, they are just trying to help you with the most important decision you have to make in this life, and you will not regret it if you make the right choice. .Listen to what they have to say, then read the Bible and make sure they are telling you the truth. You will hear alot of stuff about different religions and that some are right and some are wrong, so to decide you read the King James Bible. You can believe EVERY WORD!! It is never wrong. Don't just take people's word's for it. Read and find out for yourself. Hope this helps

I'm a Baptist, but a very unorthodox Christian. I am not someone who likes to preach to others constantly. Irespect the beliefs of others. I do not try to force my religion on others because I don't think that's right. Not all Baptist are hypocritical preachers like the ones you're talking about. They just try to convert others to forget what they're doing. If you look around I'm sure you can find some better people out there to be friends with.

a individual's sexual determination has not something to do with the destiny of their soul. Your perception that it does shows which you're a dogmatist who follows the classes of adult men extremely than the classes of Jesus. Jesus gave us 2 commandments: Matthew 22:35 Then one among them, which became right into a criminal expert, asked him a question, tempting him, and asserting, Matthew 22:36 grasp, that's the great commandment interior the regulation? Matthew 22:37 Jesus suggested unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy recommendations. Matthew 22:38 it rather is the 1st and great commandment. Matthew 22:39 And the 2nd is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matthew 22:40 On those 2 commandments hang each and every of the regulation and the prophets. i don't see a great style of wonderful print there. i don't see "love thy neighbor different than .......". i don't see "love thy neighbor in the event that they comply with .....". religious companies placed the situations on the words of Jesus. in case you're following those situations, then you definately are following organizational dogma. This makes you a dogmatist, not a disciple. your persons has already rejected the dogma. in case you nonetheless espouse it over the words of Jesus, he will reject you besides. superb continually Brother Ron

I want to share something with you. I am out of fellowship with the Lord and out of church. I have many friends from the church I attended. They are still my friends, but what am I gonna have in common with them right now. I cant tell them how God has blessed me knowing I am in sin right now. It would be hard for us to hang out with one another. I have a friend who is a catholic, but I would not be able to hang with her even if I was right with God. Why? Cause she has different teachings. I am a Baptist as well, and if I was your neighbor I would witness to you to if I was right with God. But I would still be a friend but not one who could buddy up to you. The bible tells us in Matthew 10:14 if they do not hear your words or receive them we are to shake the dust from our feet.

It sounds that you have met shirt sleeve Christians only. There are those of us who will be your friend and work to show you that what we believe is real. People who can only preach aren't worth much as a testimony, it's those who can love and live and show it that get somewhere with their witness. God Bless and may the Lord guide you in your walk.

Christians are like the Tabernacle in the Wilderness----the Outer Court, Inner Court and Holy Of Holies.Some will always stay in the Outer Court, some will precede to the Inner Court and very few will end up in the Holy of Holies in their Christian walk

Not all Baptists are like this but, yes it seems that some seem to think there is a contest going on and whoever "collects" the most souls wins.

They care about saving your soul because they want you to go to heaven BUT as christians they shoudl still be friends with you and care about you instead of only themselves. No one has a right to judge you and as christians they shouldn't.
