Why???????? Would it make you want to join? I am not into games and I reconize your game well.

Obviously you don't read the thread....it says that bush is not a christian because he's a methodist.

You have not argued with that conclusion.

Now, unless you're just a spineless slug, tell us the church that you attend.

Tony, does the following look familiar to you? It's from your homepage and is entitled -- Things to know about the Christian Church

I've posted many articles from pastors from the CoC. Why are you afraid to stand up for it?

Your denomination is nothing to be embarrassed about.....except when you claim that others denominations are automatically lost. That doesn't fit the biblical testimony about salavation.

Do you believe the CoC line about baptismal regeneration?
