The Baptist Church embraces the apostasy of “Once Saved Always Saved” so this isn’t a great stretch. It carries a type of libertarianism alongside of it.

The only problem is that it’s true.

It is one thing to state your position on a doctrine such as this. It is quite another thing to call it apostasy.
Apostacy is related to heresy. More frequently I’ve been noticing opponents to this doctrine come out and flatly call it a lie. This is an extremely dangerous stand to take in comparison to unbelief.
If you are wrong, and it is sound doctrine based on the word of God, then you are essentially calling the Word of God a lie. God’s word is inspired by the Holy Spirit.
I hope you understand where this is heading, and what you are saying... because speaking against the Holy Spirit is clearly unforgivable.

A head confession does not make a heart converstion. Once saved is always saved, but if it still walks like a duck it is still a duck.

There is no Baptist Church church. There are Baptist churches that cooperate with the national and state Southern Baptist conventions. Each member of a Baptist church is his own priest (the doctrine of Priesthood of the Believer). So I am responsible for my own actions and beliefs before the Lord.
If those actions or my public declaration of ungodly belief, or my ungodly actions, reflect poorly on Christ or my church, then the church has every right and responsibility, to withdraw fellowship from me. If my church drops into ungodly activities and doctrine, then it is my responsibility to decide when I withdraw fellowship from that church and leave it.
There is no special type of libertarianism alongside of it. Your statement is very much like saying, Within the classification of unleaded gasoline, there is a special type of unleaded gasoline. It makes no sense whatever.
