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

John the Baptist, who we are told was related by blood to Jesus, was preaching the impending judgement of God, urging repentance and moral reform, and baptizing in the Jordan River those who responded.

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

It is my growing conviction that the Baptist churches in America are behind the age in missionary spirit. They now and then make a spasmodic effort to throw off a nightmare debt of some years' accumulation, and then sink back into unconscious repose.

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

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.

I was raised Baptist, and I like the fact that I got my conscience installed early.

My family is still very Southern Baptist, and they're religious.

What this denomination stands for is, really, is the universal vision of all people being treated fairly under the law as God sees us in His sight.

Every retarded, deformed, crippled, handicapped, or senile person, who has been baptized, is a powerhouse for good in a wicked world by reason of the grace of God that dwells in his soul.
