Actually I’ve seen Southern Baptist done to extreme legalism (my sister in law grew up in one that said lipstick sent women to hell), and to immense grace (the place I worship at now is that way). You can’t validly tar that association with one brush.

Yes. I firmly agree. It was more in jest to sort of backhandedly point the bony finger of blame at any local group, regardless of congregation, that fits the description, theology wise.

I have a serious problem with the “turn or burn” message, and not because people are “scared straight” by it. I don’t believe in scaring people straight. I don’t believe it’s how any of the apostles came to Christ. I believe it wss the GOOD news of His saving grace rather than the fate of those who do not follow Him.
