>>I wasn’t too impressed with Tebow’s backing out of his commitment to speak to the congregation at First Baptist Dallas. Granted, there may be theological differences, but wouldn’t it have been better for Tebow to just lay out his path the God there, and leave the rest to debate? I wish he would have.

Some churches do not permit people to “lay out their own path” in the pulpit. You toe the line or do not speak. Perhaps this was the line that was drawn for Tebow.

I've seen and listened to their pastor, Robert Jeffress and didn't find him drifting out of the Baptist mainstream. He seemed rather amiable and agreeable, I thought. And he extended the invitation. I'd have thought the theme was witness. To my knowledge, Tebow hasn't said anything about why he cancelled.
