PS: I am aware of some Baptist churches that have remained true to the word, but much of the leadership and many congregations have fallen away
“Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought there was a distinct difference between the Baptist Church, which has become liberal as with this yahoo, and the Southern Baptist Church, which is still bible based.”
The term Baptist covers a whole lot of churches. I am sure that there are plenty of Baptist churches that are not true to the Word, just like there are lots of other churches. In my neck of the woods, most Baptist churches are Southern Baptist, which is the largest protestant denomination in the country, with 16 million members, and is a very conservative denomination. Other Baptists are the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. (NBC); National Baptist Convention of America, Inc.; (NBCA); American Baptist Churches in the USA (ABC); and Baptist Bible Fellowship International.
Many churches call themselves Baptist, but have no true denominational affiliation. The SBC has voted a few churches out of the convention for being too liberal.
Just wanted to clarify. Didn’t mean to jump down your throat.
