I wouldn't worry about it
you were followed here unless you invited more hostility?
never mind, I know you didn't
came across something I thought pretty much sums it up
here:
Arminian Charge: Calvinists are overly defensive about Calvinism.
Myth or Reality: True, and a person defends that which they wish to protect, and Calvinists are protecting something, namely a theology which declares them to be special, chosen and elect, and here an Arminian comes along and is basically telling them that they are just like everyone else, and that Jesus loves and died for everyone else, just as much as He loves and died for them too.
I'm really not Armenian, but certainly closer to that the the other

Yeah I go to church but I think of it more of a refresher of spirit and fellowship not as a requirement that one has to go every Sunday nor do I believe in the silly remark of "go to church or go to hell",Church wasn't always used to spread God's word or do right for God,many times has it had an opposite result because of egos and petty fixations.

If you do that I'll... I'll... sic Kim on you! And Catherder and Cinder and all the other cool people, we'll all gang up on you. Don't you DARE track that dog doo into the Singles forum! 
Ellsworth, sorry about the rather warm welcome you got. Once you learn which ranters you should put on "Ignore" I swear the rest of us are pretty cool.
And to answer the question this thread was supposed to be about - we have church Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night. And in my church you don't want to miss a service because you never know what you'll miss. Every time I have to miss a service, three people make sure to tell me what I missed. "Gee thanks, like I wasn't already wishing I could have been there."

It's not uncommon for persons from denominations with differing doctrine to choose a third denomination when they get married. My dad was raised Episcopalian and my mother Methodist. Both of them had doctrinal issues with the churches they were raised in so my sister and I ended up raised in a Bapticostal church.
