Ok, we know some denominations call themselves "Baptists" and, modeling themselves after John the Baptist, don't touch alcohol.
See, John was stripping away everything that reeked of being man-made and religious --- and opening the way for the messiah. Did ya catch that part? The Pharisees and priests showed out and "proved" their religiousness by wearing fine garments and creating rules for others to follow - while John trusted his faith and lived according to what God provided.
Not being sarcastic, but if you're modeling yourself after John:
(1) You missed something critical to the New Testament - model yourself after Christ instead
(2) What are your feelings about homeless folks who wear animal-hide suits n' ties to church?
And anyway ... when's the last time you had a honey-melt locust Baptist-burger?
