I like modern-day calvinists... at least they don't drown baptists... they just take over their churches.
Thats true, they are taking over, and it’s a tragedy. The Baptist church has moved away from it’s roots, and has been under assault from Calvinists and others, who are eager to impose hierarchy and a more strict dogma, on what was a great theology.
They do it by confusing people with the terms “liberal” and “conservative”. They create the illusion in the church that they are conservatives fighting liberals, as in “political conservatives” fighting leftist-democrats. In a sense, they took the name “conservative” in the same cynical manner in which the socialist progressives claimed the title “liberal”.
As a result, many well meaning political conservatives assume the calvinists moving in, are on the right side and then surrender control of universities and organizations. It’s done sad damage to the Southern Baptists.
And anyone who thinks a Texas Baptist church circa 1970’s was somehow “liberal”, is truly delusional.
