In the last issue the basic disagreement in the Southern Baptist Convention was described as one between freedom and control . Mainstream Baptists stand strongly in the corner of freedom on that issue. It doesn't really effect my local church.
Fundamentalists control the production of literature and the appointment of missionaries.
Missionaries are not appointed unless they accept the litmus test of fundamentalist doctrine. Those who share my concerns should never be embarrassed to oppose fundamentalism and stand up for historical Baptist principles. We hope those who are unfamiliar with the changes the fundamentalists have made will exercise responsible stewardship and study the issues. Baptists can no longer accept at face value everything someone tells them, and this includes what I have just written. I believe an informed Baptist is a better Baptist.
