| | A Response to Southern Baptists |
 | | Southern Baptists, the largest non-Catholic religion in America, aggressively teach that the Bible is "the word of God," meaning that every word of the Bible has equal authority and has to be believed and followed in detail by all people of faith. | | | The great tragedy of Southern Baptists is that this once powerful force for truth, freedom of religion, excellence in theological education, local church autonomy, separation of church and state and progressive social change has fallen into the pit of legalism and the abusive use of the Bible against just about everybody, including themselves. | | | The present President of Southern Seminary, Albert Mohler, ended the debate at the Convention about the authority of the Bible when he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is what it all comes down to: The Bible is not merely a record; it is the revelation of God." The messengers stood and applauded. |

| | The process whereby Baptists came to be identified with the South, and became the dominate religious denomination in the region began in 1861. | | | White Baptist churches had little to do with their black counterparts, and when there was intercourse between them it flowed one way, expressing itself in a structure in which white was placed over black. | | | Baptists and Methodists were just as apt to enjoy spirits as Episcopalians or Presbyterians. |

| | On one hand, Baptists are deeply convinced that theirs is a Bible faith, rooted in the message of Jesus Christ and the apostles. | | | The earliest Baptist worship was lengthy and dealt primarily with Bible exposition. | | | The Baptist denomination dates from the seventeenth century; the Baptist faith, we believe, dates from the first century. |

| | Religious Movements Homepage: Southern Baptists |
| | Southern Baptists are evangelical and view the Bible as their ultimate authority in shaping their lives. | | | Baptism is viewed as a symbol of obedience that stands for one's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, one's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and a new life in Jesus Christ. | | | This controversy began to unfold within the Southern Baptist Convention during the late 1970's and continued to dominate the denomination's attention for the balance of the century. |

| | Southern Baptists |
| | The goal of the Southern Baptist Convention in the 1990's was to proclaim the Gospel, and to attempt to convert everyone that was not Christian by the year 2000. | | | Their belief is invalid - after all, the Rev. Bailey Smith, at that time leader of the Southern Baptists, said in the 1980's, "G-d doesn't hear the prayer of a Jew." This is one of the worst forms of anti-Semitism, and is typical of the mindset that existed in Germany in the 1930's. | | | According to the Southern Baptists, salvation, and going to heaven, requires that a person wash away their sins through faith in "Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior". |

| | But apparently too many Southern Baptist ministers didn't want to rock the public education boat because there are so many teachers and administrators in their congregations, particularly in small towns. | | | Too many Baptists are willing to sacrifice their own children on the altar of secular government education rather than take the more difficult stand on principle. | | | It is time for Christians to acknowledge the failure of the public-school experiment and do what must be done. |

| | That Southern Baptists treasure, respect honor and recognize the absolute authority of the Bible (and even worship it at times) is without dispute. | | | Now, on the threshold of a new millennium, Southern Baptists have "infallibly" pronounced that women cannot be called by God to be pastors. | | | And further, shall we also exclude from full participation in SBC life Southern Baptists who believe the Bible is infallible and inerrant, but disagree with certain narrow interpretations? |

| | Working through 1,200 local associations and 41 state conventions and fellowships, Southern Baptists share a common bond of basic Biblical beliefs and a commitment to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the entire world. | | | Southern Baptists invite everyone to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. | | | Typically church membership is a matter of accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord and experiencing believer's baptism by immersion. |

| | SBC conservatives defend the narrower language as reflecting the views of most Southern Baptists and as necessary to guard the denomination against liberalism, which they claim infiltrated seminaries and agencies during the 1960s and 1970s. | | | Moderates in Texas and elsewhere, however, say the new Baptist Faith and Message turns the Bible into an idol by placing it on an equal plane with Christ. | | | Additional revisions adopted this year weaken references to the doctrine of soul competency and state that women cannot be pastors in local churches. |

| | (As for the demon factor, it's a go-to phenomenon for Baptists and other Evangelicals to explain everything from Mohammad's mountaintop revelation to UFO sightings.) Compared to King Solomon, who is believed to have had 700 wives and 300 concubines, Mohammed's love life looks deprived. | | | But what the sensational aspect of this controversy obscures is the fact that Southern Baptists have real, theological differences with Muslims, Jews, other Christians, and non-Christians generally. | | | nce again, the tribunes of sophistication are shocked that Southern Baptists still believe what they've believed for hundreds of years. |
