God bless the Southern Baptist Convention. For all of their faults, they are the only major Christian church group to my knowledge which has been steadily and increasingly disfellowshipping such apostate member congregations without apology.

Well, as a former SBC pastor who now pastors a network of independent house churches, I advise you to pay closer attention to the leadership. Yes, the churches themselves at the grassroots level is still solid. However, the leadership is starting to rot. The ERLC (Russell Moore) is a liberal who is in bed with the Gospel Coalition, who post such articles as "I'd rather have dead babies than support Trump." The leadership of the SBC is decidedly anti-Trump because they are trying to heal racial tensions and they feel the way to do this is not through the preaching of the Gospel...but through liberation theology.

There are numerous tweets out there by the leadership: Al Mohler; Moore, Ed Stetzer and others, that will set your hair on fire. In fact, the ERLC (the SBC's political action wing) actually worked somewhat in support of a free speech action to help a mosque get built in New Jersey.

Al Mohler (Southern Seminary president) has come out and repented about saying being gay was a choice...that they are born that way. It's on tape...and I've heard it.

The "revoice conference" (google: "revoice conference southern baptist"...read the first few articles...) that is being put on is being put on by a former SBTS student AND professor...and Mohler protege...Dr Nate Collins.
