Hmmm. I vaguely recollect that someone started this by saying Protestants began as pagans. Well, whatever, at least you caught my message...Jesus does love you, if He has decided to (John 6, Rom. 9). And, you are safe in His arms...if you are among the elect (I Pet. 2). And, you are adopted and in the beloved...if He has chosen you before the foundation of the earth (Eph. 1). Check them out...these remarks beat the boys in the pointy beanies and $ 10,000 bathrobes.
And besides, John Leland started it all by calling St. Patrick, Bishop, celebrant of the Sacraments, founder of Irish Monasticism, a Baptist.
Oh, there's hilarity all around.
