I used to go to this church. I know Pastor Stan fairly well. He has a somewhat interesting past which I will not go into here since I’m a sinner too and I’m not going to sling arrows at him for his human foibles. However...I left this church after he sat in on a marriage counseling session where the husband (who admitted cheating) said, “I may have cheated but I believe in a loving, forgiving God who forgives me when I cheat.” Pastor Stan agreed with no caveats. Sorry...I believe in forgiveness too but its not a “get out of jail free” card to continue sinning once you have supposedly repented.

Any “church” which claims that repentance is optional is well down the road to apostasy.

I’ve been checking out the General Baptist Convention of Texas, since I’m considering a church which associates with them, and the convention’s main theological spokesman essentially makes this exact point, that repentance is optional for salvation.

I’m backing away real fast.
