Which of the following types of religious services have you been to?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Southern Baptist and Methodist.  I've also been to a Church of God and a Bible Baptist (not the same as Southern Baptist) service.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Charismatic, Other Evangelical (Evangelical Free Church in America) and emergent.

I never even heard of the Emergent Church movement until you linked it.  How did you like your experience there?  Would you do it again? 

Yeah, I've been to some several times. I've been meeting with an emergent church plant group for the last couple months and usually go to one on Christmas Eve (can't this year because of the odd schedule as mentioned earlier). I've been to both mentioned in this video (my normal Christmas one is Spirit Garage.)

Have you been to Solomon's Porch? I know that's up there, not sure if it's close to you though.

It's in southwest Minneapolis, not too far away. I've always thought about it sometime but never really have. It seems every Sunday afternoon I think about it I have something else at the same time (including today.)

You should try Bethlehem Baptist...its in downtown Minneapolis...

I have been there once when I was a kid, the wife of one of my parents' closest friends from college goes there so we went with her once when we were staying at their place in Anoka County. I thought it was kind of weird since I had never been to a church that big before. But Baptist megachurches and John Piper aren't exactly my thing (it's kind of funny you mention both churches in the same post since it's well publicized what Piper thinks about Doug Pagitt and the emergent church...)

Funny you should mention John Piper.  He's my favorite Christian author.  I love listening to his sermons on the internet every once in a while.

I don't find BushOklahoma being a fan of a conservative Baptist surprising at all...

Yeah he's conservative (theologically), and a Baptist, but Piper is a little more intellectual and theological than I would have imagined BushOK would be into; he's essentially a Charismatic Presbyterian who baptizes adults. He's hardly the typical SBC megachurch guy (he's not even SBC)...

One thing you should know about me, while I am a Southern Baptist, I am a Christian first.  I can worship with anybody so long as they believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that He rose again and lives today.  The other items are just "stuff".  Plus, I am a little more liberal than a lot of Southern Baptists.  For instance, I am in favor of civil unions and not 100% opposed to gay marriage.  Plus, I voted for President Obama and actually respect Nancy Pelosi which is almost a no-no in Southern Baptist circles, especially in red-state Oklahoma.  My theology is also just a little different.  I believe in the election of the saints as described in Romans 8.  I am quasi-Calvinist.  I am not fully Calvinist (complete predestination) and I am not fully Armenianist (complete free-will).  I am what you would call a "graceman" where I have tendencies on both sides and believe everything that is done in our lives is a reflection of grace, and I do subscribe to the "TULIP" doctrine, even though it's not 100% Biblical.  That's kind of where John Piper comes in.  I agree with his theology most of the time.  At my church, my pastor, who is also my cousin, takes everything in the Bible at face value, and believes whatever it says and believes it happened exactly how it was written.  He likes to go back to the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts to get the true meaning of Scripture.
