There is no way that Southern Baptists will condone this.

Agree. This convention will be more church discipline than anything else. They will get the issue out in the open, vote (to find the pastor and congregants guilty), and excommunicate them.

This will be a message for other like-minded religious leaders (I will not call them pastors because they are not).

Of course they won't openly condone this. That is not the usual pattern of apostasy. The tactic of Satan is to subtly, in tiny increments, work questioning apostasy as "honesty" into a group, little by little.

Several years ago during their annual convention, the President of the SBC agreed to meet with a group of some of the most radical homosexual activists who were attempting to change the policy of the SBC toward homosexuality. Such a meeting would NEVER have occurred even 10 years ago. That such a meeting even occurred, even though the president wouldn't budge on the stated position of the denomination, was seen as an enormous victory by the sodomite lobby.

And in a sense, they were right. They obtained a place at the table, from which they derive incredible leverage.
