I have a question what is it exactly that these missionaries object to in the BFM? I know the popular objections to the BFM are the statements made about submitting one to another and wives to husbands. But I have a few friends that are pastors in the SBC who believe that the new BFM can be read to say that the pastor is the (sole) interpitor of scripture to the church not the Holy Sprit. I personally have a hard time reading it that way but never the less they do.
Has any one else heard objections to the BFM other than the ones wrapped around the clauses concerning submition?

Sounds like a rejection of their rules and Bible truth to me.

Hmm I agree with you in that they are rejecting something. Are they all in unison in rejecting the proabition against women being pastors or the passages telling us to submit one to another? if so then the SBC is much better off without them and they can go thier merry way. Better the SBC lose all thier missionaries than end up apostate for the sake of political correctness. But on the otherhand are thier other ojections? What are they? please don't get me wrong from what I have read of the BFM I really don't see anything nonbiblical about it. If thats tough for some people to take then so be it. however if those who object have something valid and we dissmiss it out of hand with the other objections it is we who will suffer not them.

I'd say that is the 'bottom line'.

If you look here, you will see that the "moderates" have distorted the issue somewhat.

"...many Japanese Baptist churches are led by women pastors." "Two missionaries to Japan who were fired, Ron Barrow-Hankins and his wife, Lydia, an ordained minister,..."

Jerry, I have a question for you. To my knowledge, Southern Baptists have never endorsed women pastors. So how did women serving as SB missionaries become "pastors" and "ordained ministers" in the first place?
