What most don't realize is that denomination has to basic definitions:
1) an organization with a hierarchy - (some -to total control)
2) those with similar beliefs (ie w/o a hierarchy)

Are some IFBs pharisaical and conceited? Sure.
Is the SBC a mess? Sure.
But calling out the conceit of others in bold red font is a little ironic. -

All of that being said, my wife and I left the IFB movement after years of prayer and searching, and during a sermon where the pastor we were under was preaching a sermon defending Joe Combs and claiming he'd been "set up" by the government to bring shame on the name of Christ. UGH! We got up during the middle of that sermon and left. That evening we were in an SBC church service. That was nearly 22 years ago. We've lost friends because of our move to the SBC....Is the SBC a mess? Yes, sir, for sure it is. Is it a denomination? Of course not. That's the world's view of the SBC.
Now, as far as my writing in "bold red font," that's funny. I do this because it is far easier for my old eyes to see than the black font. Is there a problem with that? On your end, maybe. I certainly hope not. So, the only thing ironic would be your typical judgemental attitude that I've seen with many IFB preachers. Thanks for helping me make my point, Brother! :) Have a nice morning. -

A lot of truth in his statement!

I would not be surprised if there is much truth to what you relate. I only hope bitterness has not gotten the better of you, as it tends to do with us all.
How is anyone supposed to divine that you used it for your eyes, unless you tell them? That bold and red is easier for you to read, OK, but did you use italics for the same reason? You'll understand that's a little hard to believe, though I'm willing to.
I think the point is clear enough to any reader. -

Thank you for continuing to show just exactly what many of us who were in the IFB for many years have seen. Typical. I have no bitterness towards the IFB, but I do have the right to discern who is being pharisaical. Thanks for continuing to help prove my point. Have a nice day, Brother. -

Mr. Antonios, you were very kind.
Sorry to say AVL has a bad attitude. You are right to just drop it. -

Could be you are wrong
