NBF, since God apparently used a Catholic Church and crucifix to call you to him, are you now a Catholic? If not, why not?
That is the $25,000 question, isn't it?
(Another good one is "Does your present Church have a giant Crucifix?")

No appreciation for the Soveriegnty of God, eh? Just because I got saved in a Catholic Chapel doesn't mean that I must therefore be Catholic any more than working in a Ford dealership means that I must own and drive a Ford. I was raised in the EUB church, which later merged with the Methodists, and lost most of their teaching of the Word. My dad was raised a Baptist, my mother an EUB and her family came from Mennonite and Amish backgrounds. Personally, I lean more toward AOG, but am really just a Charismatic Fundamental non-denominational believer. I have in times past attended Catholic services, and have many Catholic friends. I do have to say that their liturgy is beautiful, and I can appreciate the things they do, even if I disagree with some of them on doctrinal grounds. The sense of tradition and continuity is very strong, as is the sense of reverance and awe.
So, what do you think I should do? I'm all over the map with my background and personal beliefs. Not that I need to be told, just curious as to what you think.
