From my POV, what we have here is a fracture of a fracture of a fracture...etc.

The “one holy catholic and apostolic church” existed on earth for one millennium. The history of the second millennium is there for all to see concerning what became on the “one.” Since the Baptists (IIRC) claim “no creed but Christ) this fact doesn’t mean anything to them.

Not so many years ago, there was dissension in a large Baptist church near me. I heard one wag opine, “Baptists are like bees. When it comes time, they just have to swarm.” When ones heritage includes the option to break away, it’s just as natural as natural can be.

Didn’t Jimmy Carter, the famous Georgia Sunday School teacher, have his church bail out of the SBC over something or other?

So, I am a bit surprised at your seeming surprise over this latest event in a long string of traditional Baptist polity. If the hive gets stirred up enough, it’ll swarm.

Yes...the “something or other” was that he and Clinton tried to set up their own “Baptist” church...one that agrees with the dem teachings on abortion, gay marriage, and such.

I don’t think it was very successful.

I remember this guy! He’s a good and loving man, wardaddy. No need to be worried about him being a PC president.

if he’s conservative, this is a long-oerdue and very good move by the SBC

Dr. Voddie Baucham would have been good as well.
