in reply to Kinji_2007, i'm afraid i cannot explain anything differently or better we simply believe (in regards to being saved) that once you have been saved, you are... uhm... saved. maybe your friends believe something a bit different to i -- i have seen a friend of mine fall away from Christianity, which i guess means you aren't saved forever if you are saved once, but she grew up in a Christian family and maybe never made that conscious decision to be a Christian before.

i misunderstood you and thought you meant that after giving our lives to God, us Baptists believed you had to get baptized, and you were saying that we don't get the part where once you get saved you're always saved (which i took to mean once you are saved, you don't have to do any other formal actions to make sure you are saved).

sorry mate i dont know anything that would clear anything up about Baptist Christians for you.
