By freak occurence you're in one of the few churches in the SBC that preaches right on salvation, so the question remains,"WHAT IS YOUR CHURCH DOING IN THE SBC?!?" I bet I could find a Catholic church that preaches right on salvation, but I'm not going to try. If I pointed to can full of garbage and said "At the bottom of that trash can is a perfectly good Subway sandwich. No one ate off of it, it's wrapped up, and I just saw the guy throw it away an hour ago, but it's all the way at the bottom of the can now," would you go digging in that garbage can for that sandwich?
Once again, Andy, you judge something you know nothing about. My pastor preaches against the false interpretation of "repentance", calling it Reformation Salvation. You see, not every pastor has to be a mind-controlled robot catering to his denomination. Also, my pastor is not Calvinist. But go ahead and continue your false judgments; you seem entertained by them.
Again, Andy, you are in no place to judge my pastor or his motives, since you know neither. And I would have had no idea the church is SBC if I had not been told so by an old timer who attends there (who remembers the old SBC before its top leaders began to compromise), since there is no such advertisement and no praising of the SBC done in the pulpit or on any of the church's signs. In fact, my pastor blasts the SBC every time they stand up for the homosexual acceptance, etc. that has taken place over the past few years. Just because he doesn't want to become an IFB doesn't make him guilty of your charges. Apparently, my pastor and the congregation are able to serve and follow Christ and stick to the word while still being SBC, without acting like SBC robots. People are able to think for themselves and when one knows what the word says about homosexuality and x,y,z, they can actually have a desire to follow the word rather than men despite the affiliation.
