    From what I am understanding regarding Founders.org, if it is not Calvinism (strictly Reformed theology) then the genuine gospel is lost.

    This is the re-edited trailer that removed the images of Ms. Denhollander.

    They left the musical cue, but took out the quick cuts that showed Ms. Denhollander in the context of the demonic forces and principalities of the world

    You can see Rachael Denhollander in the original version of the trailer that is embedded in this highly critical analysis of it beginning at 3:40-3:45 (Ms. Denhollander is out-of-focus in the trailer).

    Ascol was shamed into posting all this after a J.D. Hall exposé noted that the Founders board had suddenly, quietly shrunken by half:

    After Hall splashed this on his Facebook earlier in the week — JD Hall on Facebook
    today a chastened Tom Ascol addressed the defections — Tom Ascol on Twitter

    They made a video clip regarding social justice and critical race theory inroads into the SBC, to which some people and SBC leaders that were shown critically in video sound bites have taken strong exception.

    Half the Founders' board thought the clip went too far, and thus resigned. The rest of us otherwise not involved should probably withhold judgment until if and when the full-length film that the clip was promoting is actually released.

    I don't think there is enough info in the public yet.
