As a Southern Baptist, I find myself to be a little more Calvinistic than the average SB. But I take a laid-back approach. I am pretty happy with the SBC these days, since they have got rid of most of the people in high administration who don't believe the Bible to be completely true. I find I agree with the top people a lot more than I disagree.
I think the SBC and the Cooperative Program do wonderful things in the Lord's name and through His power. And that is because a few Bible-believing Southern Baptists cared enough to organize the ocnvention against the liberals.
It is really worht studying. Nothing like it has happened in 500 years of Protestant history.
When we moved to this area the SBC church we found was the only church nearby that focused on the Bible. We're a little disappointed with the movement in our church to "modernize" the presentation and the preaching isn't up to our expectations (not trying to criticize the pastor). But we're unwilling to leave at the moment. Like you, I do agree with them more than I disagree and I can "generally" bite my Calvinistic tongue. But we suppliment ourselves with John MacArthur tape sermons so that helps.
On a national level, the split away from the other Baptists was a move in the right direction. But SBs don't have a systematic theology and within the SB community this is creating problems. (I posted something on this a long while ago.) They have some creeds and so forth but when pressed about defining their theology a little more, the administration generally throws up their hands and say, "Can't we focus on missions?". In trying to appease the Arminian SBers, it is allienating the Calvinist SBers.
It is commendable the SBs broke away from the liberal Baptists. However, eventually they're not going to be able to ignore the Arminian/Calvinist split within the church for long. It's not surprising this article says the same thing.
