Oyinbo repete. . . but GBAM!!

You can lead the horse to the stream but you can't force him to drink.

I really liked Sunday School - taught me so much about Christian life and just being a rational human being as well.

You sound funny!
But they did have a good effect on me and pretty much still does even now. The foundation laid in sunday school was good.
While associations like Ga ,Lydia, BSF, RA and co  had objectives, the activities were too numerous to juggle at times but i had fun at times.
i particularly used to avoid those association meetings and hope i wont be chosen to attend because i disliked the uniforms!

Fa real. Sunday school was the best thing that happened to me as a child . . . I can still remember the classroom, the teachers, the quizzes and bible verse competitions and the day I believed and accepted Jesus! 

Sunday School classes are really enjoyed then, with the memory verse thing,
Do anyone remember the sword drill thing also?

I too like baptist church o,
But i no too dey attend Sunday School again

I used to be a Catholic but I now attend a Baptist Church. I some times attend KICC.

na wa o, where's my webster dictionary. I just never vibed with the sunday school thing. Children singing songs like "make me a good child like samuel" just seemed wack to me. It's pretty unlikely that Christianity is truth out of the tons of religions that exist. I would take my chances being an atheist

hey i doubt horses would want to drink contaminated water. Baptists are cool overall, they are old school but not as orthodox like the catholic church

@ THE BAPTIST
Permit me to tel you somethings about the Baptist,
1-- Our values purpose and goals are not tie down to any man but God. Our Leaders are God sent guides
2-- Consistency is an identity of Integrity, Baptist are consistent.

Interesting thread.  What I'd like to know is where are the Baptist churches in Lagos and different parts of the country?  The Convention's website doesn't help (unlike the Church of Nigeria's  )

Did you know that the Nigerian Baptist Convention is the second largest affliated to the the Baptist World Alliance?  Any one going to next year's Baptist World Congress in Hawaii?

It's good to meet Baptist here on Nairaland especially Royal Ambassadors. http://nnoromra..com

Can someone enlighten me? What is the Baptist Church?

Though i attend Baptist church and seriously love church structure, the best i have seen so far and believe me i have been to places, but consider myself interdinominational strictly the bible.

Concerning the issue of tithing, we should be student of the word, for crying out loud we are referred to as the people of the book, it goes beyond the law for Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedec. Tithing is not for new testament believers, in fact when you study the scriptures you will discover that we are supposed to give far more than 10th%. And there is no curse on those that do not pay tithe, for Pete sake where is it in the bible, i mean new testament of course.

Born and bred a Baptist, Bamu to the core.

Doctrine and denomination are not routes to God, only Jesus is. Let's stop talking Baptist and Pentecostal here and focus on the real thing which is what we were created here to do--worship God by living our lives to honour him.

By this, I'm saying I like those that say they are non-denominational, but please let's not go on to speak wrongly about other Churches as it's not in our place to do so. Scripture asks, "Who are you to judge another man's servant?" Don't provoke The Lord your God to anger by negatively talking about other Churches in which people go and meet with God.

Let's show example as Christians.

Remember, Jesus is "the Way", the Truth and the Life. Not a way, but The Way. This means there's no other way to God (not religion, not denomination, not doctrine) except through Him. It's been high time long ago that we stopped dividing ourselves along these lines (or any line at all) as Christians.

Let's give unbelievers one less reason to not be saved. Thank you, brothers and sisters.

Fa real. Sunday school was the best thing that happened to me as a child . . . I can still remember the classroom, the teachers, the quizzes and bible verse competitions and the day I believed and accepted Jesus! 

I loved sword drills. You remember those competitions where you rushed to open the bible. You then step out amidst your competitors as soon as you found the reference. I never got beyond association but there was this other girl that usually got to represent Lagos at the convention. I remember the use of flash cards for sunbeam kids. We had the scriptures in our tender minds and could quote them. Then the BSF camps! Sweet memories.

I attend RCCG now with hubby and have this feeling that my kids are missing out on something.

Good Morning to you all...wasn't born a Baptist, but I just love the baptist denomination and her doctrines.

I started reading from page 0 and I agree totally with Shinystar said.

To be honest, I have had thoughts of leaving my current church, but my commitments won't allow me.

Some pastors have become "Erujeje" in their churches. And where there's no one to voice out, the members suffer in silence.

God bless the baptist denomination.

REFERESHING @30 YOU ARE ALL INVITED

I'm proud to be a baptist, though this is not by birth, I became a baptist when I joined the BSF back then in school. I'm a Sunday school teacher now.

Baptist churches in Lagos state

This thread will not die.
