I read an article that the First Baptist Church of El Dorado was the church that provided the buses to haul off the FLDS women and children to be dumped in a coliseum (a coliseum!).
So . . . the Texas Baptist Convention - they are not Southern Baptists . . . they are just regular Baptists? When I was in Reno a while back I attended a Conservative Baptist church that also claimed to be non denominational. What? A great service by the way.
In Texas, there is the Baptist General Convention of Texas and the smaller, more conservative Southern Baptists of Texas. (There are also more liberal groups.) An individual church can belong to none, one, or both the SBoT and the BGCT. They also may be members of the SBC.
The SBC isn’t a denomination in the sense that the Methodists, Presbyterians or Lutherans have denominations. The only discipline that a Convention can really administer is to kick out the offending church.
