I certainly support SBC but they are rip with issues, just stream their annual SBC Convention and listen to the business topics. However, there are issues with any large organization and especially when large amounts of money is involved so I don't get overly concerned with it. I'm a conservative southern baptist and will not hang around any church that strays from the conservative preaching of God's Word. It doesn't have to be from the "red letter" edition but it has to be from His word. I firmly believe that people are "called" to attend a particular church, for me that is a conservative baptist church. For others, it may be Reliant or any other christian church not including the word baptist. This is a current topic of discussion among several bike riders in our riding group. Many attend churches that don't have a baptist name on them but I can attest that most of these men are conservative christians who are on fire for the Lord and serve often in ways that give them the opportunity to share the Word. I've attended some of their church services as well and although theirs don't necessarily follow the order of service that I'm familiar with I can vouch that the preaching was directly from the Word and the Spirit was moving among the crowd. Not necessarily my church tasted but suitable for others. It's an interesting topic and can get heated quickly if not handled delicately.
Of course I'm not suggesting that people who go to churches without the word "Baptist" in them are not true Christians. Not at all. But there has to be some reasoning behind it. And clearly, I just don't get it. Do they feel that tradition is viewed as a negative? I have no idea. I just have to wonder. It must now be out of fashion to call Sunday School....Sunday School. I have a feeling the majority of the world doesn't go to Church because of their church titles or the outdated or old fashion terminology used. They don't attend because of the evil in this world that has only grown stronger in this culture of right is wrong and wrong is right.
