Conservative Baptist Board

What hairstyle?

We are asking for another section, for us true Baptist.

”Conservatives- Theology dictates morality/Liberals- morality dictates Theology” Justified Version </font>[/QUOTE]Like I said, a "ture baptist" is not defined by being conservative or liberal necessarily. Baptists are people who hold to the authority of Scripture, the Lordship of Christ, Competency of the Soul, baptism by immersion of believers, local church autonomy. Positions on end times, abortion, and a host of other things do not define a "true baptist".

The more I see this, the more I see it as a bad idea. It would be a haven for self-satisfied fundamentalist snobbery from the looks of things.

Sorry to be harsh about it, but you should hear yourselves sometimes...

 

Well then you had better answer Joshua's question on the other thread, so we all know what you think a "true Baptist" is.

</font>[/QUOTE]I will not answer the other thread!

"B" = Bible Authority & Inerrancy
"A" = Autonomy of the Local Church
"P" = Priesthood of Every Believer
"T" = Two Ordinances-Believer's Baptism & The Lord's Supper
"I" = Individual Soul Liberty
"S" = Separation-Personal, Ecclesiastcal, & Political
"T" = Two Officers-Pastor & Deacons

Simple, but effective!

Justifed,

I like the little mnemonic.

There is aproblem though. Historically it has been authority, and not inerrancy.

 

When you study the history of the Doctrines, Inerrancy is interwoven in its authority of the Bible!

”Conservatives- Theology dictates morality/Liberals- morality dictates Theology” Justified Version </font>[/QUOTE]That's your opinion. When you study the history of the confessions though it is clear that inerrancy is not an essential. Authority is the only essential.

And I can see the many conservatives heartily agreeing to having one. It's the liberals that are disagreeing and finding the excuses not to have one.</font>[/QUOTE]Let me be clear: If what has been portrayed here (the bickering, the name-calling, the pettiness, the self-righteous blanket condemnation of others) is "conservative", then I'm delighted that you and others don't consider me a "conservative".

I hope you get your "conservative" section where you can attack each other endlessly while you try to "purify" and "seperate" yourselves. I will gladly stay out of that ungodliness.

</font>[/QUOTE]It was "put up or shut up" time on the other thread. I didn't realize you would exercise the option to run away.

Enjoy your "conservative" forum if you get it. I've tried to be nice and considerate with you but you don't seem to want it. I will gladly give you advice about Mormons if you ask, but I honestly don't expect you to ask anymore. I will continue to pray for your Mormon contacts, with or without your permission. If the Lord has mercy on them, I pray you won't lead them into the brand of "conservatism" represented here.

 

BB can we quote you on that?
[/QB]</font>[/QUOTE]Hmmm.... You finally decided to respond to me.

Yes. You may quote me. My attitude is currently so bitter toward this "conservative" crowd that I fully expect you to misquote and slander me as well. Prove me wrong.

 

More like disgust. I you can't realize how sinful this name-calling, blanket condemnation and self-righteousness is, I am truly sorry for you.

Take it behind closed doors if you are going to continue in it.

 

Sir please tell me who on this thread I have cast a blanket condemnation at.[/QB]</font>[/QUOTE]That comment was not directed specifically at you. There are several here who are on your bandwagon who do it constantly.

Again, not specifically at you.

You did quote me fairly and I appreciate it. I stand by what I said in that quote. What I was saying is that my attitude toward the self-professed "conservative" bunch in this thread is currently so poor (that is my problem) that I fully expect people here to misquote me and slander me with it (again, it is a problem of bitterness rising in me as a reaction to some of these posts -- my problem). I said "prove me wrong" as a challenge to demonstrate that I have misjudged you all in this moment of extreme irritation. It is a call to do the right thing and speak fairly and honestly.

Christians are called to stand up for what is right. I am exercising that obligation. "Take it behind closed doors" is a request to take all of the ugliness the "conservative" side is spewing and put it in a private password protected forum if you all are going to continue in it.
