Whereas a "good baptist" hears the cross message almost every week. And here in NC (baptist) country there are a lot of good baptist kids that live holy (in regard to fleshly sins) godly lives.
I'm in my early 40s, raised Pentecostal, and I'm just now beginning to learn what the blood of Jesus was all about. Just now understanding that it's not my works that will save me.
