I agree with everything it says, however when a missionary is forced to sign it, that's when I draw the line. <br />I will say, I have no problems with professors or Christian educators signing a statement saying they affirm historic Christian Doctrine, however they should not be forced to sign a creed.<br />Also, I have met several of the leaders within the conservative resurgence and I have nothing but respect for them. Many are Godly men who loved God and want to see people come to Christ, I just disagree with the way they came into leadership.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524895972705575613.post-31443466607336497612012-06-27T18:03:44.043-05:002012-06-27T18:03:44.043-05:00What's so odd about the whole project of the S...What's so odd about the whole project of the SBC in the last twenty years is how many conservative Baptists have been affected by the convention's "Conservative Resurgence." I know the Dixons. David's father and mother were members of the church I grew up in. His son Daniel and I were pen pals briefly when I was in grade school. When they returned to Texas for furlough, we listened to them speak and played with their children. When my brother lost his passport in Madrid in 2006, they were able to contact the U.S. Embassy to keep him from being deported back to Africa (where he was just leaving after a summer of missions work).<br /><br />Nothing would make them unfit for the current climate in the SBC except their very Baptist belief that there is no creed but the Bible.Clayton Mauritzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508611398682201005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524895972705575613.post-34212211759959900692012-06-27T15:10:04.567-05:002012-06-27T15:10:04.567-05:00I hardly agree with any of the blogs on here, howe...I hardly agree with any of the blogs on here, however this one was well put. I lean towards the "fundamentalist", I believe a change was needed in the SBC, however the way it was done was wrong in many aspects.<br />I agree with the BFM 2000, however I disagree that a missionary should be fired simply because they won't sign an agreement to it. As long as a Christian believes in the essentials of the historical Christian Faith, that's what matters, all other issues are secondary. <br />I grew up in a Church that was BGCT, our pastor was conservative theologically, yet he was branded as a liberal by some within the fundamentalist movement simply because he believed in Church Freedom. With that said, he did not compromise. <br />I believe many on the fundamentalist side are legalistic and many on the liberal (some known as moderate) compromise. The only way the SBC will be what it's called to be is if it holds to the historic Christian faith and does what God has called each Christ follower to do, preach the gospel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
