Personally, I'd be willing to contribute cash money to buy an airline ticket for our own Orthodox Presbyterian to go debate Brother Cloud on this matter of Calvinism and evangelism. I think we could grant OPie honorary Baptist status as an alumnus of a very well-known independent Baptist college.

LOL!! For that matter, it may not be "honorary" at all.

For all I know, I am still on the Membership Rolls of a certain little 22,000-member Independent Baptist Church. It's sorta like being a "cradle Catholic", I think -- I never formally requested to be taken off the Rolls, so....

I think that attending that first baby-splashing event could endanger your official status. [Not that I'm interested in ecumenical dialogue on that topic.]

Well, now, that church might not be quite fundamental enough or 'independent' enough for some purists who attend other IFB churches. After all, they do occasionally say something nice about the SBC. It's brazen ecumenism!

In some of these circles, they talk about the Southern Baptist Conference as though it's the church of Rome. It's quite bizarre actually.
