Local churches are to be independent.
I’m sorry but that is still your opinion. Do you have scripture to back it up?
“Nothing Christian about a ‘convention’.
Local churches are to be independent.”
You are the most ignorant person I’ve ever seen WRT the Southern Baptist Church.
Each and every church is autonomous, owning their church on the church’s land. They own the parsonage, as well as everything else concerning the independent church.
The Pastor or Preacher don’t run the church...the deacons and the congregation do.
I would like to call you stupid, but I think I feel more sorry for your ignorance.
