“I’m sure some of them are still Bible believing, but why associate oneself with such a wicked hierarchy?”
All true. People have to be careful and do their research before settling into a church. You should see my list of questions I ask pastors when we relocate and search for a church! It embarrasses my husband, but I don’t care.
Like the Methodists, the hierarchy of the main faction of Baptists, the SBC, is something we avoid at all costs. We find a fundamental, Bible-believing independent Baptist church with everything local. The preacher had better preach loudly against homosexuality, abortion, etc.
LOL!! You, too? I thought I was the only one who did this.
When I ask a pastor of a church under consideration if he has time to answer a few questions, they often act as if I'm an enemy infiltrator, or can't find the time to answer at all.
That pretty much answers my question.
