"On a more positive note, there is a women's Bible Study my wife attends on Tuesdays. The woman who teaches it (not from our church) is very good, and her teachings always assume the inerrancy of the scriptures. So, at least some good things do happen in the building."

Yes, thank the Lord! We adhere to Baptist distinctives, and we have been greatly blessed by many Bible-believing Presbyterian preachers over the years, and I have a set of books by the 18th Century Presbyterian evangelist, Icabod Spencer, called PASTOR'S SKETCHES. PASTOR'S SKETCHES contains real life episodes of Spencer's dealings with individuals about their soul's salvation. They are really fine illustrations of sound and spiritual personal evangelism methods.

ALL denominations of Christians have really slipped and, excuse me, apostatized. We are independent missionaries and so do not maintain affiliation with any Baptist denomination. It just seems that when churches nowadays stay involved with denominational structures, they are disappointed by the liberal slide of all of virtually all of them.

But I have been looking at the Bible Presbyterian (Charlotte, NC) web site and the Free Presbyterian (Ulster) web site, and I find those to be quite a joy to my Bible-believing Christian spirit. Here I am, a Baptist, recommending Presbyterian web sites to Presbyterian folks...I hope you don't take me as arrogant. I just pray for you the Lord's best. I don't know if there would be any Bible or Free Presbyterian churches near you....or perhaps independent Presbyterians. If not, there might be some independent Bible churches nearby. As a last resort, you might find a friendly independent Bible-believing Baptist church around.

Amen, brother! Christians have a lot more in common than differences. The central thing is Christ Jesus, and him crucified - be we Baptist, Presby, or Catholic.

My ggg grandfather the Baptist deacon would have a fit if he knew his ggg granddaughter was a Papist. . . but I think he'd calm down if we soothed him a bit.
