The chairman of deacons told him ‘it may be scriptural, but it ain’t Baptist’.
That reminds me of the time many years ago when I went to the Promise Keepers (tm) rally in Washington, DC. I am not Baptist, but there were not many from my church going, and the Baptists were taking a bus load, so I hitched a ride. And I remember overhearing a Baptists saying, "Remember we are Christians first, and Baptists second!" and I remember thinking to myself, what do you need the second part for?
While I do have certain congregations I prefer to attend over others, I am always careful to never refer to myself as anything other than "Christian" because identifying with a particular denomination seems to me against the teaching in 1 Cor 3.
