I was raised in the Baptist church... but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.

But, yea, I grew up in a strong Baptist background.

I was raised in a working class family of Baptist faith, and I went to college on a church scholarship where early teachings were reinforced. Abortion was wrong, I was taught.

Well - I was brought up as a Southern Baptist.

I even went so far as to become a Southern Baptist for a while, until I realized that they didn't hold 'em under long enough.

On the day, therefore, when I went to the church to be confirmed, with a number of others, I suffered extremely from the reproaches of my conscience.

You see, I was the son of a baptist minister.

Being a Baptist won't keep you from sinning, but it'll sure as hell keep you from enjoying it.

I was raised in the church.

My ordination in the Church of God in Christ was at age 9, and I later became a Baptist minister, which I am today.
