Tom Rush on SBTS

Who is T Rush

 

Here is a brief bio of Tom Rush:

 

The fix is in for Mohler to succeed Greear (was supposed to this year but Annual Meeting was cancelled):

Baptist Press October 28, 2020 Mohler for SBC President

"R. Albert Mohler Jr. said he has agreed to accept a nomination to serve as SBC president...[from] H.B. Charles, senior pastor of Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Fla. Almost a year ago, Charles announced his intention to nominate Mohler for president at the 2020 Annual Meeting, which was canceled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic."

"'It’s basically just a year’s delay', Mohler said"


[The SBC President makes a number of appointments that can influence the direction of all seminaries and SBC enities for years to come]

 

Reformed

 

New Calvinism

 

He self identifies as a 'Reformed theologian':

Mohler: "As a Reformed theologian I would look at this and say..."

 

Think that he would say a Calvinist Baptist.

 

Mohler gives some (or perhaps all) of his reasons HERE:

 

Doesn't seem left-handed to me. It is a matter of practical politics that many politicians do not do too much, just enough to keep their voters voting for them. This indicates Trump is not a politician testing the wind.

 

I have followed Albert Mohler for several years - I do remember a couple of times that he claimed NOT to be calvinist but Augustinian.

 

I have followed Albert Mohler's ministry for several years. He claims to be a "reformed theologian" - NOT calvinist, but Augustinian.

 

I agree that a great deal of time has passed without any explanation about why the conditions exists, especially, at SBTS and SETS concerning CRT/I.

Much has been said that questions Mohler's integrity. For there to be an integrity problem, you must put aside his 25 year history at SBTS, his published works - You can see from his writings and sermons exactly where he stands.

If you look closely and follow the public timeline of comments made by Mohler, I think you can see that there is some process that is taking place, but it is undefined. I would encourage you to read the article below that was reported in the Christian Index.

Caldwell to EC members: Be clear where you stand

I believe this to be a part of the picture of the process taking place in the SBC, to include the SBTS and SEBTS concerning CRT/I. There are some number of "WOKE" and "WOKE sympathetic" churches in the SBC to include Capital Hill Baptist and McLean Baptist, both in the Washington DC area. It appears that something must be worked out with those churches and other churches and individuals that are "WOKE" and/or "WOKE sympathetic" before the SBC can move forward on CRT/I issues. If you will think seriously about it, this will be a huge leadership challenge - even for Mohler. It seems that SEBTS is following the same process as SBTS on CRT/I

 

Hyper Calvinist?
