    He who wept above the grave, He who stilled the raging wave, Meek to suffer, strong to save, He shall come in glory! He who sorrow's pathway trod, He that every good bestowed— Son of Man and Son of God— He shall come in glory. He who bled with scourging sore, Thorns and scarlet meekly wore, He who every sorrow bore— He shall come in glory. Monarch of the smitten cheek, Scorn of Jew and scorn of Greek, Priest and King, divinely meek— He shall come in glory. He who died to set us free, He who lives and loves even me, He who comes whom I shall see, Jesus only…

    Michael: Who is like unto God?

    by *Light*

    The name "Michael" means: Who is like unto God? Does this mean that Michael the archangel is "like unto God'? The answer is NO! No one is like unto God! Michael the archangel is forever praising the ONE TRUE GOD, who alone is set apart from ALL CREATION. NONE is like unto God! Michael is asking, "Who is like unto God?" Answer: NOBODY!!! "Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and THERE IS NONE LIKE ME, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:" (Isaiah 46:9-10) God Bless!

    We celebrated our 32nd anniversary this week. Yesterday we went to Silverdale, the closest "big" city to us. I posted on Facebook, so I'm just copying and pasting what I wrote: "So we head out to Silverdale. As we were going, I got a message from my niece that there was a very bad wreck near the Hood Canal Bridge (over which we must drive to get to Silverdale). It had occurred about 20 minutes before we left home. We knew we might have a wait, but we went ahead. Things went well for the first 20 minutes. But then we got closer to the wreck. On the left we saw part of the burned area from the fire last week. We came to a dead stop. It wasn't too bad at first - bu…

    Im not sure this is the correct area to post this question. Im looking for a free or inexpensive kjb devotional or reading plan for young people. My son is 9 , andwe have been using one online that is ok , but its really not great. I would love a reading plan that maybe has 10-20 verses with questions that he can ponder. Is there anything like this available? He reads a proverb most every day , so this would be in addition to that.

    So, there are people that God never intended to get saved? How would that statement line up with this Scripture? 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

    Church Politicians

    by HA Melton

    I read an article this morning regarding the loss of church membership(s) throughout South Carolina. Of all the reasons listed I couldn't help but notice the absence of Church Politicians as being a cause. We all know they are on sight, right? The ones with the deep pockets; the ring knockers; the clique, those of which their great, great grandpa laid the cornerstone back in 1942 and through association believe they alone own the church building. I've been in churches up and down the East Coast since 1972 and have found that almost ALL of them to be eating themselves into oblivion because of such antics. Believe me when I say I could tell you some stories. Thing…

    Brethren, I am in the process of finding a proofreader who would like to proofread, and edit, my "Revelation Chapter 19-22 Study," manuscript for publication in a regular book form. Right now the Study was just written for my internet friends and in a spiral bound format for a very limited audience. Now, I would like to publish it for a wider audience in a regular book format. The manuscript has 35,721 words (included are the footnotes & endnotes). I would be willing to pay the going rate for manuscript editing. If you, or if you know somebody, or if you could recommend a person, that would like to do the proofreading than either respond in this threa…

    by Shadowfeathers

    1 “EORRORS OF CALVANISM” Doctrine originated by a man – Did not begin with John Calvin, (1509 – 1564) It began with “Augustine” - (354-429) It flourished under Calvin who greatly showed his influence in Catholicism, the Presbyterian church and the Church of Christ, as with others. Calvanism claims that the Bible itself is the true source of this religious system. His background was Roman Catholicism, from which his doctrine was greatly influenced, rather than from the Bible. 2 Five points of Calvanism Came about actu…

    This July 4th I'm recovering from a failed condensate pump which allowed water to ruin several items in our basement. We have no basement drain! Thank God we have a nation where we're free to worship Him; and a national day to thank Him for living in a nation to celebrate the freedom He provided.

    Moved Directory

    by Pastor Matt

    I'm in the process of moving the forum directory from the home to the public_html (root) directory. You may notice a few links broken, and they will be fixed soon. You may need to update any bookmarks that you have. Old Link: https://onlinebaptist.com/home New Link: https://onlinebaptist.com I apologize about any inconvenience this may cause, but it will help me as I grow online baptist by moving things into the root directory.

    IFB in users profile

    by Pastor Matt

    I like having the denomination in the profile field as some folks are not Baptist in name but are Baptistic in doctrine, which is the important thing. This poll is to reflect the IFB check box that was removed. Would you like to see it back in uses profile? If you would like it back but done differently, just check yes and reply here with your thoughts. Poll closes on 5/25/18. All voting results are public and there will be no Russian interference with this voting process.

    by heartstrings

    Wow! I just signed in, as always, at the top of the page. But just now a little box came down asking me about my denomination etc. So I entered "baptist" and immediately a little black box came up and said "SAVED". Whew...now I have assurance. :)

    Activity on Online Baptist 1 2 3

    by Pastorj

    It's been a couple years since I have been active on Online Baptist. It seems like the amount of activity on the forum is down significantly from where it was when I was here last. Just curious as to what people think are the reasons. Has other social media taken away from this forum?

    Hi, all I am seriously thinking about visiting England for 3 weeks next May/June, and I'm looking for advice! Does anyone have information on must-see sites, tourist traps to avoid, or transportation tips to share (or just your random thoughts)? So far my (very rough) itinerary includes time in the Dales and Lake Country, Hadrian's Wall, Glyn Ceiriog, and maybe York, Bath, and Walton-on-the-Naze (this itinerary has been heavily influenced by the writings of James Herriot and Arthur Ransome). I don't really like cities; I'd like to see medieval sites, Roman remains and prehistoric sites (hill forts and excavated villas!). Tentatively, I'm planning on purchasing…

    Was Simon the Sorcerer saved? 1 2

    by Bob from England

    In Acts 8 we read of one Simon the Sorcerer, who made a profession of faith but was then rebuked for a serious failing. Was he a false convert, or was he truly saved, but in need of repentance after a fall? (Which can happen to any of us!)
