I can only speak for myself and a few members I talked with but I was against it because of Russel Moore taking such an outspoken political stance in all his writings, especially with the Washington Post, a stance that was primarily liberal SJW politics. I had no problem with the theology of their statement of faith - I investigated that and found them solid in that regard. For me it was Russel Moore that made me vote NO. Mostly I think the Holy Spirit was just convicting members that it was a bad idea.
So, Russel Moore appears to be pro-life but I know he is a big proponent of refuge resettlement. What else about him besides the immigrant issue that you know makes him SJW? He has a strong following among younger SBC preachers who think very highly of him. Is he as bad as some think or is he just a different thinker who is trying to shake up the denomination to become more Christ like? Honest opinion please.
Thank you. Seems I missed a bunch of important stuff, again.
