I know Ron Paul is a Protestant, but I've read conflicting information on whether or not he is non-denominational or a Baptist.
 
Ron was raised a Lutheran, and two of his brothers are Lutheran ministers. He and his wife later attended an Episcopalian church, but left because it was "too liberal". He currently participates in a Baptist congregation.
 
What does it matter? =)

The people above are correct. He has stated that he attends a Baptist church.

He's a Baptist but many would say with very strong non-denominational leanings. He does attend a baptist church though.
 
Baptist but he's descended from German Lutherans and I think that's where he gets his antiwar thinking from.

um, not necessarily; there's quite a few Christians from other denominations who don't believe in the war.

Anyway, from what I can gather, it sounds like he was raised a Lutheran, later attended an Episcopal church, then moved onto an evangelical church....but finally settled on a Southern Baptist church.

that said, I agree, he seems to lean more non-denominational.
 
I don't know if I have ever heard him identify as a Baptist. I know he attends a Southern Baptist church, but I don't know if he calls himself that or is a member. Maybe he just likes it more than others in his area.
 
I don't care. As long as he doesn't force religion on us or use it to try and propel his campaign (he won't do either)

He began life as a Lutheran. Ron and his wife were also Episcopalian for a long period. But Ron Paul and his wife "became less comfortable with the Episcopal Church as time went on." That would seem to coincide with a period in which the Episcopalian hierarchy in the U.S. moved toward a more liberal interpretation of the Bible and practice of faith. Paul and his wife now attend services at First Baptist Church of Lake Jackson, Texas, a church affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. A quick glance at the church’s website, www.fbclj.org seems to indicate that the church lines up very well with the Scriptures and an evangelical, orthodox interpretation of Christianity (little “e” little “o”).

Does it matter OUR spiritually is guided from what comes from within each and everyone of us. Remember there should be no religious test for a candidate running for office!!!
 
There should be no GOVERNMENT-IMPOSED religious test on a candidate.
All of us as individual citizens are free to support or oppose a candidate for whatever reasons we find worthy of consideration, including their specific religious adherence.

I've been saying that the Episcopal Church is a version of the Synagogue of the Libertines. Many have left, including George W Bush. However, the current state of the TEC should have no bearing on presidential elections. I see Ron Paul as being able to converse with all shades of belief and none.
