You do have a point: "Reformed Southern Baptist" is a bit unwieldy, especially since Southern Baptists started out as Calvinists, and didn't need to be re-Reformed (even if some of them sometimes need to be reminded that they have strayed from their roots if they are not Calvinistic.)

Good point. The SBC's Founders' Conferences have made a LOT of progress in educating SBC pastors about the fact that ALL of the SBC's founders were Five-Point Calvinists.

Do you remember mentioning to me that you heard a great black preacher from Houston preach a solidly Calvinistic sermon? Well, after some checking, I traced him to a huge SBC church with 14,000 members. All of their officers are solid Calvinists. And their church's statement of faith is clearly Calvinistic.

(If I am not mistaken, this is about the third largest church in Houston. This tells us that the SBC is a potentially explosive source of Calvinistic evangelism. I honestly suspect that the SBC Calvinists will dwarf all of the other Reformed movements pretty soon.)
