Hi from another SA

Your title caught my eye, usually you see "can you be a Catholic and a Christian."

I guess the the right way to ask is "Can you be a Christian" - "Like Jesus"

Blessings

Basil, welcome to MyChurch, and thanks for an excellent and poignant post!  I too have felt the tension of being both Baptist and Christian.  We can get so caught up in following the denomination that we lose sight of Christ Himself.  We never stop talking about Him, but we can lose His face without ever realizing it, and we can miss the most important missions He lays before us.  Keep on blogging!

Being a Calvinist, I get into some strange conversations with others sometimes, and they're fun (and important -- 1 Tim 4:16), but I'm always encouraged when we join together when talking to a non-Christian.

I guess the challenge of your blog is:  do I attend the Ligonier conference (Reformed theology and preaching the full Gospel) or do I attend the Urbana conference (ministry and outreach across the world)?

Oh hey.  This is your first blog?  Welcome!  I had to do a few searches to understand what "apartheid" was.  You're in South Africa?  I assumed you were American.  Then you wouldn't know what the two conferences I mentioned are!  Sorry!  :)  The parentheses I included should be sufficient.  Your blog is proving very good.  I'm going to subscribe to it for future ones.  Keep it up and contend for the Lord!
