My earliest religious memory is that of a 6 year old, standing in the vestibule of the 2nd Baptist Church in Fairfield, Texas.

I couldn't remember being baptized, so I called my father knowing that it would have been done late so I should remember it, but did not. No baptismal record was ever found.

So this fella grew up and got saved in a Baptist church, had Baptist parents and Baptist Grandparents and never got baptized...

Catholics would buy into this but I doubt a Baptist could be found that would believe this story...There may be some elements to this story that are true but I wouldn't put much stock in it...

According to Baptist belief, baptism is another one of those signs or symbols that Christ instituted that don't really do anything, objectively speaking. Someone is saved (according to Baptist belief) when they "ask Jesus into their heart" or "take him as their personal savior", not when they're baptized.

So what difference does it make?

I don't believe you ever answered me before when I asked you if a "once saved always saved" Christian who became a believing Catholic is still saved. Are they?

He said "No baptismal record was ever found." That doesn't mean he wasn't baptized.

Maybe if you had actually read my story and not taken things out of context, you would have actually had something interesting to comment on.

My parents were NOT Baptist.

Moreover, they disagreed with baptism; this is why I was not baptised.

Next time, please read the entire story, and resist the urge to yank things out of context.
