You might be an IFB If…

[Tarheel Baptist]

You ever watched Sheffey at a Watchnight Service.

You know all about Jack Hyles, Jack Schaap, Jack Chick, and Jack Patterson but you don't know Jack about Jack Graham.

You would never think about going to the hellywood movie theater, but you have Hulu, HBOmax, and use your friends Netflix account to binge with regularity.

You've tried back-masking tapes to see if Satan is speaking to you!

If you cut your vacation short so that you can make it back in time for Sunday morning Sunday School, but think it’s OK that your pastor miss a Sunday or two because he’s on vacation…

 

[Tarheel Baptist]

If you think a suit and tie for men is essential for church attendance…

 

[Tarheel Baptist]

If you believe that the IFB isn’t a denomination because they are “Independent” and not subject to any outside influence…

It's pretty hard for me to "hate" Catholics, especially considering I have so many relatives who are Catholic, and I had gone to the GOC for a couple of years with my ex-fiance. I know many good people in the Catholic church. I've witnessed to them, and they have a great testimony of salvation by grace alone in Christ....no works...no praying to Mary or the saints...and they don't go to confession. They're working to try and reform the RCC.

If your idea of Old Paths goes no further back than Finney's altar calls...... YMBAIFB.

 

[ALAYMAN]

Speaking of Finney....


If you think that Finney and Servetus are heroes of the faith but think that Graham and Falwell are heretics, you just might be IFB.

 

[ALAYMAN]

...if you think that it's cool that the mannogod tells his deacons to jump off a bridge to prove their loyalty, you might be IFB.

 

[AverageJoe]

If you've ever helped ship off a sex offender to another church you might be IFB!

 

[ALAYMAN]

...if you know the difference between culottes and skorts, and have a conviction for one and against the other, you might be an IFB.

If you think the greatest scholars today are Wife-Bruising Peter Ruckman, Gail (the Ripper) Riplinger and Samuel (Gyp the people) Gipp, you may be IFB.

If your church foyer has portraits of Jack Hyles and John R. Rice, you may be IFB.

If every Sunday at your church looks like Old-Fashioned Day, you may be IFB.

If your pastor makes a Parris Island Marine drill sergeant look like a wimp, you may be IFB.

If your guest evangelist finishes every sentence with "Preachin' Time," "Somebody Help Me," "Everyone OK Out There?" and "HAYMAN!," you may be IFB.

If your pastor has ever been ridiculed in a 2-minute sermon clip posted by Tony Hutson Comedian, you may be IFB.
