Astounding that Baptists would go against the Bible.
Wondering about the validity of the story.
I think Jimmy Carter left his Southern Baptist Church and identifies with the Alliance of Baptists or something similar to it.
Since “Baptist” churches are historically independent and local, you cannot look at it as an alignment of Baptist denominations UNLESS you specifically see something like “The American Baptist Church” in their list of member churches.
However, my experience with North Carolina Baptists says that these are radically different than the standard NC church that has “Baptist” on the sign out front. Baptists in NC tend to be bible believing, fundamental, and God fearing. Therefore, this group’s name “Alliance of Baptists” is deception beyond measure.
I speak this as a Methodist minister, but I don’t like it when anyone lies about any denomination: Catholic, Methodist, Baptist...you name it. I see such deception as an effort to brainwash.
