"good ol' Ayla-bayma"

a post about my experience growing up with Southern Baptists.

When I was in the first grade, my classmate asked me if I had been baptized.

I hesitated and answered with a no.

In response, she gasped and said "You're going to hay-ell!"

In the 10th grade, my friend told me that the Bible said I will not enter the gates of Heaven until I'd been baptized.

This is a taste of a blog to come in which I discuss my freedom in Christ and how I will not allow myself to feel condemned by fellow believers who tend to focus on outrageous negativities that have nothing to do with the message of the gospel.

I'm going to gather my thoughts, though they may be lengthy, and will post in the next few days.

Stay tuned...
