I apologize for the sir comment, this is my last response to this since we aren't going to agree. CN isn't perfect but it's not as bad as You may think either, after all it is a Christian Liberal Arts College, not a Bible School.
This all stems from the accusations by Brady Tarr at the TBC, (I'm not as disconnected as you think). It's interesting that much of his accusations have been refuted not only by the College, but by local Pastor's as well. The TBC is currently investigating, report due at the 2005 TBC if I remember correctly, and even though the investigation is ongoing, it seems you've already judged and convicted them.
As far as the 2000 BF&M, where does it say in the Bible that we are to sign a pledge in order to be a good Christian? This is more of the extrabiblical, Jesus +/- thinking so prevalent in Christianity today.
I went to CN for 4 years (not that long ago) and I was taught that Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven, and never heard mention of theistic evolution.
Peace be with You.
Well, I hope the accusations are wrong.
As to the 2000 BF&M, nowhere does it say that you have to sign to be a good Christian or a good Baptist. However, if one were a conservative Baptist, the additions on family and homosexuality or anything else should be in agreement with one's belief system (I would think). Typically, it is moderates who refuse to affirm, or those who think it is a creed. Not signing does not say you are a moderate or liberal. However, it does raise an eyebrow as to why not. Maybe a legitimate reason, maybe not.
