Well this has him intrigued, so he stops and gos into the building and asks why it so much cheaper to talk to GOD in Georgia. The man replies that is is a local call from here.

That's pretty funny! I know alot of places (many far from Georgia) where the people think it to be a local call!
Seriously, Methodist and Baptist are so close in doctrine, it's ridiculous to even have harsh words between the two. Both have produced good men. Two of the most famous Baptists I can think of are Billy Graham and Oswald Chambers, "author of My Utmost for His Highest" which is a classic expose' on Unconditional Love and Limitless Forgiveness. Charles and John Wesley who founded the Methodist movement, encouraged people to experience Jesus personally...sounds just like Billy Graham to me. John Wesley was originally moved by the works of Martin Luther to preach his first sermon on God's grace "free in all, and free for all." Interesting that all these resulting denominations would wage wars against each other. Reminds me of the bickering of siblings...which so painfully affects the hearts of the mother and Father.
