FROM A CATHOLIC HIPPY TO A BAPTIST PREACHER is our video for the week. This interview was made recently in Groton NY. The transition from bring a longhaired hippy to being accepted in Christ Jesus is really remarkable. Please inform your friends about the new video, and let us have your comments or better still post them on the Google site.
What do ya'll think of this?
Lol ... Congratulations! You keep sending us your theologians and we'll send you our 'hippies'.

"Donut Man" converts to Catholicism
"Far From Rome, Near to God: Testimonies of Fifty Converted Roman Catholic Priests." Edited by Richard Bennett and Martin Buckingham. Edinburgh: The Banner of Truth Trust, 1997.
My father is a Catholic converted to the Baptist faith.
He's far, far harder on the RCs than I would ever dare to put into print.
He claims that he is saved by grace through faith in Christ.
That's all that matters to me.
LOLOL and really?
Here's a hippie that stayed...
"Indeed the human nature of Christ had a real causal relation to Mary, but his sonship is not a matter of his nature but of his person."
~William Ames Medulla Theologica
Thanks. sounds great!
After an RC education from grade school through college, my husband fled the RC church with such determination he became an atheist. Finally, God sent him a wandering, semi-literate Presbyterian girl and together they found the truth waiting in the Scriptures all along.
He's far, far harder on the RCs than I would ever dare to put into print.
My husband, too. He says it's because he knows of what he speaks. 8~)
He's my patron saint and he's not dead yet. I'd recommend him for baptist orders but I think he still smokes.
Just when I think I've included everyone on the thread, someone always pops in under the wire.
Consider yourself pinged, Q. 8~)
Sniff, that's beautiful!
Now where are my tissues...
"He claims that he is saved by grace through faith in Christ."
Yeah but, was he baptized by immersion after he professed faith and does he have a letter from another baptist church and is he KJV only and does his church have a bus ministry? Huh?
"Now where are my tissues..."
Use your sleeves like the rest of us Baptists. That's why God invented shirt sleeves for men.
My husband, too. He says it's because he knows of what he speaks. 8~)
Really? The things you learn here...
A bit like the Chateau d'If, no?
Finally, God sent him a wandering, semi-literate Presbyterian girl and together they found the truth waiting in the Scriptures all along.
I can't imagine you ever being semi-literate.
Can't remember where I found this or I'd post a link, however, che sara, sara. I thought you might like it.
Unfortunately, this is all too often not the operative understanding of the evangelical mission of the Church and the echoes of Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa’s dictum, “When we need a labor union we go to our parish priest; when we need the word of God we go to the Protestant pastor,” resound loudly and unfortunately true. He goes on to say-and his comments merit extensive citation-that:In his letter to the Romans, St. Paul says, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel; it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who has faith.” (Rom. 1:16) Obviously even in that time too there was the temptation to be ashamed of the Gospel. For the Jews it was a scandal and for the Greeks, stupidity. (1 Cor. 1:22-25) Paul writes to the Galatians, “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel...”…I think we must repeat this cry of the Apostle again in our times.
Proper Presbyterians use our Kilts, but there are wee female relations in the room and seeing how proper Presbyterians also go "regimental," decorum calls for a tissue.
I love an egalitarian.
Liberte, Egalite, Fraternate ...
