The Baptist faith is the only 'true' church...right? And, they will be the first to tell you! I think I have heard others sing the same song.

I was reared Baptist, and I don't think so!:-)

"Church", biblically speaking, is a spiritual circumstance/condition, not an *organization*. "Ecclesia" = "called out ones" = the Body of Christ.

The Body of Christ is scattered amongst many organizations aka denominations. That is, "the true church" is a spiritual body, not an organizational body.

I hope that I am wrong, but Mormons don't celebrate birthdays. If I am wrong, please someone correct me - Seedplanter/Good Troll.

Not sure about Mormons, but there are some in Protestant circles that do not.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate birthdays. Mormons do.

I don't know about Mormons, but I believe that Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate birthdays (or any other holidays for that matter).

Thank you for the correction. My girlfriend was wrong. I have to be careful of what I say on the Internet. This is a new experience for me and I have to learn how to be a social person - Good Troll.
