I remember several people here claiming he WAS Southern Baptist, but yet he denies it when he is not around the SB people. Which is truth?

If Rick Warren's church is Southern Baptist, Fahrenheit 911 is indeed a documentary.

I think it's that "being all things to all people" verse...

I don't see anything on Saddleback's website that specifically identifies them as Southern Baptist. It wouldn't surprise me if Warren leaves the fold. I'm surprise he hasn't already.

I know. He wants only certain people (conservative SB's) to think he's SB. The rest, he wants them to think he's not.

Somewhere I read about Warren establishing PDL churches all over the world. This begs the question why not Southern Baptist churches? I can't help thinking there's a reason for him staying for the time being. Perhaps using the support channels or whatever until the time is ripe to break.

I think he already has left. He hasn't made it official yet, kind of like the husband or wife who leaves the relationship emotionally before actually physically moving out.

When I first joined Saddleback in 1998, Rick told us that Saddleback was affiliated with the SBC for organizational purposes, but that the church itself is nondenominational.

As far as I can tell, nothing's changed.

It should be noted this is what Finny and Wesley did with the Presbyterians. Never fully subscribing to their beliefs yet remaining until the time was right. It just doesn't seem kosher.

Hi Sandy. Thanks for the dose of informed sanity.

How's the new church?

So why the 'oh we're not SBC' comment? That's weird.

Your assertion seems to gel with the original transcript. So why was he 'horrified' --? What was so 'horrifying'? I just don't get it.

Wesley? What are you talking about? He was Anglican.

I think he might have been upset at how it would be interpreted.

Just guessing.
