Great testimony explaining your salvation. I was saved when I was 8 when a missionary visiting from Liberia was preaching at my dad’s church, then baptized shortly after that.
I also resent being called a “protestant”; we are not.
A hell bound, lock-up-your-daughters-here-come-the-drug-dealing-hippies, waste of a man that had been successfully sidetracked by the Satanic lure of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll ... and I thoroughly enjoyed it !
Circumstances directed my inner thoughts to my eternal condition and had me in front of Eddie Klein (a Messianic Jew) at his kitchen table, that night of August 18th, 1981
It's on yer dog tags -- P, C, or H for Hebrew, pick one. Ya gotta go to church call, get buried (one in yer mouth and one on yer big toe), or get yer TS ticket punched by the chaplain.(WWII era)
If you were validly baptized, then you were baptized into the Catholic church.....if you choose not to follow Catholic doctrine, then as a Christian, you protest Christ's church and are therefore a protestant.....nothing derogatory there....just in error or incomplete.
