Evangelicals don’t have “leaders.”
They have scripture and teachers.

And the reality is in Europe for all to see.

This evangelical says no, and this is a terrible idea.

Can someone quote the scripture that says Christians have to subject their families to wholesale slaughter?

The Assemblies of God have always had an open door policy for
Christian refugees.
AP, as usual, distorts the story.

“Leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention...”
They could never get a resolution endorsing it passed by an actual convention, with votes by delegates. I’d be willing to be the actual convention would vote it down 80:20, but then, the SBC leadership has about as much concern for the views of members as the GOP Congress has for citizens...

Those aren’t real Christan groups. They are secular Leftists using religion to push their ideological dogmas.

Moslems are so inclusive, after all. Even their cemeteries require that ONLY moslems be buried there-and that non-moslems may not enter.

Well it seems there are “leaders” that are making political endorsements that evangelicals are supposed to follow.
But you are exactly right.
