    Finally I have found the list of BWA members thanks to another site. It is quite a comprehensive list. I am only familiar with a couple of names of the ones in the U.S, but you may well know of them better than I. [​IMG]

    You will notice that there is a very prominent Baptist Denomination who is no longer a member. As a member of that denomination, I am thankful that we are not. [​IMG]

    There has been an interest in which members of the Baptist Church are members of the BWA, hence the reason why I listed the site, It is not meant as an opportunity to sledge the BWA.

    In fact lets face it it will most likely become a sledge on the BWA anyway, so how about I list the main point that we can bash both the BWA and the SBC with and we can work it out of our system.

    Anti's - The BWA are a Liberal Organisation and support Homosexuality.

    BWA - No we are not Liberal and we issued a statement condemning Homosexuality.

    Anti's - Well how about this church --- were they have gays that go there and even work in the church?

    BWA - we cant police every specific church, I am sure that the same thing has occured in various other churches and to do that is in violation of the BWA.

    Antis face it, you support gays and you are Liberal.

    BWA, and you likewise support gays and recieve money from Gambling aka Carnival cruise lines.

    Antis - we can invest in whatever we like that is not related to the church.

    All, 13 pages later no resolution, everyone gets sick of the same garbage going around and the thread gets dropped.

    If we are all satisfied that we can stay on the topic at hand can we keep to the discussion which is on who is in the BWA?

    So Ben, what was the point of your thread? Are you telling me that you started a whole thread for no other purpose but to tell us who is and who isn't a member of the liberal BWA? Did you not have a point?

    As I pointed out before, It has come up in previous discussion before about where a list is of members is. Here it is.

    Liberal BWA? didnt we do that before? Oh well what can I think of to insult the SBC in the same manner?

    How about "Liberal SBC"? Basing that on the whole Carnival Cruise Lines business.

    Yes good to see that the Liberal SBC is no longer a member.

    Make you feel happy? Want to take it to the point of actual cussing and editing by the moderators?

    The BWA is just another worthless, self-glorying, apostate assembly of garbage theologians and nitwits that it is a sin to take up any more bandwidth to speak of them.

    Jesus didn't call us to be conservative or liberal. He was accused of that by others around him. He calls us to be radical Christians. Being conservative is just another form of liberalism. Being radical identifies with Jesus.

    The SBC is just another worthless, self-glorying, apostate assembly of garbage theologians and nitwits that it is a sin to take up any more bandwith to speak of them. Sounds fair enough, I mean who would preach against Homosexuality, then actually profit financially from it. Yes it must be the last days for sure.

I wanted to replace the words BWA for SBC so people can understand what that feels like when it is directed at a Christian organisation or denomination that you belong to and value.

    Ben,

    No apology necessary on my part, I for one got the point of your sarcasism. Thought it made and effective point.

Again, if you want to see my thoughts on the BWA, go back to about December 2003 or January 2004 when we first discussed it and my thoughts on the matter are clear and supported with my evidence.

    Joseph,

    If a church made profit financially from Sodomy, would they be Liberal?

    Which specific denomination in the BWA teaches that there is another way to heaven other than through Christ? I can garantee that is not the case in my denomination the Seventh Day Baptists and I am sure it is not the case in any of the other Baptist Denominations listed as being members of the BWA?

    The BWA itself. I have already gone over this at the beginning of last year. If you are interested, look it up. I don't have the time right now to do your research for you and to rehash a dead topic.

    There is no BWA outside of the denominations that represent it. The BWA has a doctrinal statement that is acceptable even to SBC members. Considering that they founded it and wrote it! [​IMG]

    What is a liberal organization?

    If any the BWA, seems to be a conservative organization.

    By the way BWA is a fellowship of Baptist churches, (actually conventions and unions are afiliated rather than churches) and as such does not teach anything on its own.

    Blessings,

    Luis

    The fact that they accepted the CBF is reason enough to say they are garbage.

    Btw Ben, I didn't attack any Christians by calling the BWA trash.

    Let's see:

    A person is member of a Church, That church is affiliated with a Convention which in turn is affiliated with the BWA, that individual christian wholeheartedly supports BWA.

    Then, when you call BWA, trash, by transitive character you are insulting that person.

    Moreover many fellow baptists support and are proud of the CBF.

    Blessings,

    Luis
