May I ask - what compelled you leave the Catholic Church and become a Baptist?
Eternity.
I was raised Catholic, but it never really made sense to me. At my Confirmation we were told to commit our lives to Jesus, and I took that seriously, but the rituals of the church never clicked with me. My dad passed away soon after I graduated high school and I drifted away from church - until I met and married a Baptist preacher's daughter. It turns out that "commit your life to Jesus" is the same thing that the Baptists call being born again or saved, which made perfect sense to me(or maybe by then I was old and mature enough to understand better). Be that as it may, I am happily walking with Jesus now which is all that really matters.
