Members heartstrings Posted May 15, 2018 Members Share Posted May 15, 2018 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. :) Pastor Matt and Alan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted May 15, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2018 That meant that it is added and saved to your profile. I think this is something that BroMatt added in the latest software update. Some might find the third question redundant since and if, they have already stated they are IFB. But all in all I think it is a good thing since everyone knows what persuasion someone is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Pastor Matt Posted May 15, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2018 They are close, but I use the IFB one to decide if I should add somebody to the IFB forums. Most people just say Baptist for denomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted May 15, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2018 I hope I don't confuse the issue BroMatt, but I have seen instances where people do not even know what IFB is. And then I get to thinking that anyone could just say they are IFB, but not really be. I guess for me as an admin. I kinda like the option of having them ask for admittance and then we as admins get to question them a bit about if they really are IFB. Does that make sense r just muddy the issue? Perhaps you had something else entirely in mind that I had not thought of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heartstrings Posted May 16, 2018 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2018 I was just having fun with the "saved" button but was not making fun at anyone. I knew what it meant. But yes, as always, I am an independent fundamental baptist who, at the present time, am a member of a Southern Baptist church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Young Posted May 17, 2018 Members Share Posted May 17, 2018 I put non-denominational.... I do consider myself Baptist but I don't consider that a denomination... Though I am thinking about switching my denomination to "Independent right wing fried chicken eating radical baptist" or something.

Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted May 17, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 17, 2018 Bro. John, I agree that Baptist is not a denomination, at least I and many others don't consider it a denomination. But for me, non-denominational is way too far in the wrong direction. I do fully and heartily agree with and identify with your last sentence. DaveW and John Young 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alan Posted May 17, 2018 Members Share Posted May 17, 2018 I thought that the inclusion of the field"Denomination," along with, "IFB," was a good idea. I understand that some folks would say IFB when they were really not; but, the same thing can be said for Baptist. So, I would like to have the field, "IFB," re-included as before along with the field of, "Baptist." To me "IFB" means a whole lot more than, "Baptist."

Administrators Pastor Matt Posted May 17, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 17, 2018 Okay, here is what I'll do. I'll start a poll later today and run it for a week. Since this a minor thing, whatever the majority decides I will go with. Alan and DaveW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
