Have you ever loved the Lord but felt trapped by religious traditions that didn’t quite match the Scriptures? In No Longer a Baptist , the author shares his personal journey from a sincere independent Baptist upbringing — where he was saved, taught Sunday School, preached, and was ordained — into the freeing truths of the rightly divided Word of God. What began as a love for the Bible eventually created growing tension: Baptist distinctives and long-held traditions often blended law with grace, prophecy with mystery, and Israel with the Body of Christ. Using the King James Bible and a Mid-Acts dispensational approach, this book examines how mixing programs ignores the boundaries Paul sets for us today. It walks through key issues with clarity and grace: Denominations and traditions — why they multiply confusion instead of unity in the faith of the gospel. - Rightly dividing boundaries — the vital difference between prophecy (spoken since the world began) and the mystery revealed to Paul (kept secret since the world began). - Following Paul as he followed Christ — the pattern for this age of grace (1 Cor. 11:1; 2 Tim. 2:15). Chapter 5 tackles Baptist Distinctives head-on , including: • Repentance of sins for salvation • “Ye must be born again” • Standing vs. state • Conditional forgiveness and fellowship • Bondage vs. liberty • Water baptism and the Lord’s Supper as “ordinances” • The Great Commission, tithing, priesthood of believers, and earthly vs. heavenly inheritance The book culminates in a clear testimony: “Why I’m No Longer a Baptist” — not out of bitterness, but because the glorious truths of the gospel of the grace of God and our identity as members of the Body of Christ are too precious to trade for denominational loyalty. Believers are already new creatures, complete in Christ, forgiven of all trespasses, seated in heavenly places, and called to walk in liberty under grace. This is an invitation to break free from performance-based religion and rest in the finished work of Christ. Whether you’re a longtime Baptist, a seeker tired of confusion, or a Bible student hungry for clarity, No Longer a Baptist will challenge and encourage you to rightly divide the word of truth and rejoice in who you are in Christ . Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free. You are already complete in Him.
