In sum, the Southern Baptist Convention has exhibited a remarkably consistent pattern of cooperation without compromise. This has operated at three levels. First, there can be no structural unity without true biblical unity. Our true unity with other Christians is spiritual. Second, we can faithfully cooperate with other evangelical Christians in the accomplishment of spiritual goals, such as evangelism, missions, and the defense and propagation of biblical truth. Third, we should cooperate with non-Christians and non-evangelicals in common cultural and moral causes. This must be done without violating Baptist principles or restricting Baptist witness.

Though considering non-Christians and the Roman Catholic Church to be the objects of our spiritual concern and evangelistic mission, we are nonetheless committed to work with all men of good will in any good cause. Thus, we can work with secular Americans and Roman Catholic leaders in common cause for the abolition of abortion, the defense of marriage, and in contending for religious liberty, these offered as examples only. I do not agree with this position.. As individuals we can work together..but our denominations should not develop alliances with non Christian denominations or secular groups.. for political or social causes

I think this position is very reasonable and sensible.

Hi W- Correct me if I am wrong but I believe Al Mohler is anti charismatic. If he is like John Macarthur who believes all spiritual tongues(languages) is of the enemy. He is not dealing with too many christians. Also anti-catholic. He has a narrow relationship with alot of christian people. Yet so narrow minded.
