  HOW THE BAPTISTS DECEIVE THEMSELVES                11/77


   How do the Baptists deceive themselves?  They think that 
   interest in  dogma, doctrine, and sophisticated theological 
   arguments is equivalent to being serious about God.  It isn't.  
   Seriousness about God is seriousness about his commandments;  
   seriousness about obeying them.  Baptists become so completely 
   hung up in theological sophistries and subtleties that they 
   never become serious about God.  It is their stumbling block.  
   It stands between them and God.  They never get past it.
