		<description>I guess what I really was trying to say is does it really matter whether any of the GVB are Baptist when they are sharing God&#039;s word at the Southern Baptist Convention?
Also, while I was in the Baptist church I attended a class taught be the minister which taught us all the things that were wrong with all the other denominations and why we were the only ones that were right and he haad a Doctorate degree from a Baptist University.</description>

		<description>Agreed Daniel.  I&#039;ve actually belonged to Southern and American Baptist churches (there weren&#039;t any SBCs in WV), and neither held to the denominational exclusivity belief.  The couple my parents sang with were Methodists, they used to joke that if they could get along, anyone could!</description>

		<description>Wes, you&#039;re right. The Baptists aren&#039;t denominationally exclusive. But—and good for them!—they still teach that you have to be a Christian to go to Heaven.

I guess some people would call that exclusive, but exclusive or not, it&#039;s the Gospel truth.</description>

		<description>#26, I didn&#039;t see any comments on here that even insinuated that you have to be Southern Baptist to make it to Heaven.  I&#039;m SB, but I have no doubt that my Pentecostal, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Nazarene, and whatever else friends will be right there with me in Heaven.  It sounds like you had a bad experience in a Baptist church, but please don&#039;t paint us all with that brush.  AFAIK, the SBC is not an exclusivity denomination (you have to be SB to get to Heaven).  I&#039;ve never heard that preached or taught in any SB church I&#039;ve been in.</description>

		<description>I  was a Southern Baptist for a large portion of my life and these types of opinions are a big reason I left the Baptist church. Nowhere in the Bible does God or God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, say that you have to be a Southern Baptist to praise God or to go to heaven. God loves us all and desires our praise and if that is achieved by listening to someone of another denomination. So be it! God did not set aside or assign denominations. These are a work of man. Jesus did not exclude anyone or require they become a Southern Baptist. Only to accept him as their Savior and be Baptized in the Spirit. I&#039;m sure Bill Gaither has done both of these things. Jesus was baptized in the river not in a Southern Baptist Church. I would listen to any of you sing at my church convention without hesitation because you are children of God just as I am and Bill Gaither is.</description>

		<description>FYI.  Guy Penrod is Southern Baptist.  He attends every Sunday he&#039;s home with all his family and is a member of our church. His in-laws also are members.  It&#039;s First Baptist Church of Columbia, TN.  A great church filled with a lot of God-loving people.  Come join us sometime!!</description>

		<description>#22 is right on the mark with his information.

Praise &amp; worship styles, way before worship &amp; praise became the &quot;in&quot; the thing, between Nazarenes, Church of God (any kind), UPC, Foursquare or A/G closely were very simliar.
Yes, you can count some Baptist churches in that number. Matter of fact some Baptist&#039;s had more life than some churches in the above mentioned denominations.
 They had hand clapping, hand clapping on the choruses of the hymns, song leader kept the song service going as the Holy Spirit&#039;s leads, band/orchestra at the service on Sunday nights.

The above denominations is almost like a farm system that baseball has developed over the years for any kind of gospel music.
Preschool children start with have a pass with a ball, playing tee-ball, farm league, little league and on we go
Same in gospel music.
Like a Anthony Burger or a Gordon Mote who started playing a piano some afternoon with a song like &quot;Jesus Loves Me.&quot; 
The same applies to many children in the Sunday school program at their local church. Sing anywhere and anytime was the cry at these denominations.
Check out the background of many of your favorite artists either sang or began their formal singing at a bible school, institute or college.

The uncommon thread between the these denominations is what you do in your deeper life experience or relationship with Jesus Christ after salvation.
The denominations just take different roads on God&#039;s map to get to Heaven.</description>

		<description>I believe Gaither was first Nazarene and then later Church of God. Alexandria is a small town. Anderson is much larger. I think they are around 10-12 miles apart, but I could be remembering wrong.</description>

		<description>Actually, I didn&#039;t catch anything until I went to type it myself ... I scrolled up to see how you&#039;d spelled it, and realized it wasn&#039;t even what you&#039;d said. :)</description>
