I think the Metropolitan Church is basically Baptist.

All the SBC plants in our area do not use Baptist in their name because of the negative connotation.

Yep. We visited a church called Baptist when we moved and were church shopping. During our month visit they dropped the term Baptist from their name (voted on it before we started coming). We quit going that day. When called by several people to see why we were AWOL I flat told them why. More than one said it was voted on by the members so they could reach more people who might be turned off by the Baptist theology.

I said good luck with your prosperity gospel we will be looking elsewhere.
