Come on, John McCain. How desperate do you have to be to pretend you're a different religion than the one you actually are? Did you think they wouldn't catch you on it?
In the video below we explain how John McCain pretended to be Baptist while campaigning in South Carolina when he is in fact Episcopalian -- and how he got caught and what his reaction was afterward:
John McCain sold his (political) soul to the devil a long time ago, so ironically, it might not matter what denomination he is when it comes time for that matter. By the way, how absurd are religions -- do you think God is really going to say, "No, I'm sorry you're Episcopalian, the correct answer was Baptist. You will now spend eternity in hell for that error. Tough break. Better luck next time."

John McCain, a Baptist?
For years, Republican Presidential candidate John McCain, and Senator from Arizona, identified himself as an Episcopalian. Now, it seems that McCain has changed denominations, and is claiming that he did so 15 years ago. McCain claims to now be a Baptist.
There are obviously several major differences between the two denominations. However, we should rather look at some of the clear distinctives of Baptists. Such distinctives include the autonomy of the local church, believers baptism, and regenerate church membership.
McCain, as a former Episcopalian, has not had to deal with these issues. If he were to "convert" to the Baptist denomination, he would have to understand and practice these three things (among others of course). He would have to get used to the new form of church government, and he should be baptized, as a believer, and join the church, as a believer.
But McCain has yet to be baptized. The question is then, is he really a baptist? The answer must be no. If Baptist are defined as the three things (and more) above, then the individual that does not recognize them or practice them cannot be considered a Baptists.
