A shame--he's got a marvelous voice). That, however, ended quite abruptly when the pastor tried to tell my mom (who was simultaneously volunteering as the church secretary, treasurer, a Sunday school teacher, and any other do-er of "womanly" jobs around the church) that she wasn't submissive enough with her husband. You do NOT tell MY mother to be submissive. We were Southern Baptist (and a few years later, Christian Church) members in the blink of an eye. :lol: *snerk* Our IFB pastor and my mom spent the entire duration of our time attending that church trying to convince my Presby dad that he needed to be rebaptized (he just wanted to sing, but no non-members allowed!

"Hi, sir. Hey, are you saved?" "Absolutely." "Really!?" And when were you saved?" "Two thousand years ago, at Calvary." Best answer I've heard yet.

“Absolutely.”
“Really!?” And when were you saved?”
“Two thousand years ago, at Calvary.”

And of course you'd have to add the 5 Steps to Salvation: http://www.trustingodamerica.com/FiveStepsCov.htm Traditional CoC doesn't count themselves as Fundie or Evangelical -- b/c they're not a denomination, dontcha know, they're the New Testament Church.

I would ask that question, and if the person would say anything besides Baptist. I'd start witnessing to them. My grandparents are Presbyterian. My mother knows for a fact that she did not get saved in the church she grew up in so that means they are not saved either. We all tried desperately to witness to my grandparents. My poor grandparents were quite upset about it. Made for great strains in the family relationship. Nailed it. I would ask that question, and if the person would say anything besides Baptist.
