I had the honor in my first tour in Taiwan in the Navy to meet up with Precious SB folk. I forget all the greats . . . some children of . . . who was it . . . the great early SB missionary to China . . .
Anyway—they were all solid Christians with solid well thought-out theology.
Some of them who are still alive are aghast at the turns of events in the denomination as a whole.
I don’t know about the shades of this’s and that’s. I know they hate the attempts to water down inerrancy. And that Scripture has a super high priority in their daily lives and in their theology.
Also, I don’t fault them for putting a super high priority on soul winning and loving people into The Kingdom and into maturity in Christ.
I do fault them for being wimpy and dismissive about walking in Holy Spirit’s giftings a la I Cor 12-14, however.
I'm really glad you've gotten to know SB folk who are among the good guys. You're right that for us there is a high emphasis on scripture.
