The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum About the SBC

I believe that the Founders are going to hold on until they are forced to leave. the problem with the congregational church system, especially within such vague standards, is that each church's theology is based on what is preached from the pulpit every sunday. I have heard, from the same pulpit, (not necessarily the same preacher) messages on why tobacco is evil, God taking care of His people, predictions on when Christ will come back, and what to do in case of rapture and we are still here! Until there is a rewriting of the Baptist Faith and Message that uses specific language that does not leave anything to interpretation, the Founders will have to build their congregations into a sub-division of the church (a presbetery, if you will [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink[/img]). If there is to be Reformation, that sub-division will have to grow into a majority within the denomination, since everything is done by majority vote, even on the top level. There is no telling what will hapen, but, by God's grace, He will prosper His own Word. It's exciting to see the potential! Whether another denomination will develop or not, I am glad to see people taking a stand for Biblical truth, and that, my friends, is how every revival has begun. I pray with linda and the others for a revival sometime in my lifetime, and I hope to take part in it, by God's grace, one way or another.<br>troy
