@JurisDutis @IndianaBrunner None

@IndianaBrunner The faith was once for all delivered to the saints. Which denomination out there has that faith to the exclusion of all others?

Cleave to Every Wind of Doctrine is at it again… This is a common tactic of false religions and sects. They first create a problem that Scripture itself never creates, then present themselves as the only solution. In this case, the alleged problem is: “Without an infallible interpreter, Christians cannot know the truth.” Yet Scripture never teaches that the church needs an infallible authority outside of Scripture in order to understand God’s Word. Instead, Scripture itself is presented as the God-breathed standard by which all teachings are tested (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 3:16–17). The Pharisees were held accountable to Scripture. The Bereans were commended as noble for examining Scripture. Neither group possessed an infallible interpretive authority. The problem is manufactured so that the false institution can present itself as the solution.

@ReturnOrthodoxy @IndianaBrunner I think you mean, “the holy scriptures”. Not, “ a few letters from apostles” but ok.

@IndianaBrunner At least we actually use all the evidence given to us rather than limit us to a few letters from the apostles.

I’ve never understood Catholic or Orthodox apologists. The moment they move beyond exclusively quoting “infallible” Church teachings and begin explaining what those teachings mean, they’re doing the very thing they accuse Protestants of doing: “relying on your own interpretation.” Even more confusing are the apologists who appeal to Scripture or historical sources that have never been “infallibly” interpreted by their Church. In those cases, they’re simply offering their own concoction of evidence while insisting Protestants cannot do the same.

Which logo design do you like best? I’m currently developing a brand identity for a church in the Pacific Northwest. They want mountains and/or trees, and a cross included in their design with inviting natural greens / off whites. Thanks in advance for your vote!

@GregoryAShirk @megbasham You’re just wrong.

@megbasham SBC is an Arminian dispensational denomination that holds free will doctrines as well as other errors. I am 2nd London Baptist, 1689 Reformed to the bone. TULIP is true about God and man. Period

I’m a Southern Baptist, but last week I had the opportunity to take part in an event with President Harrison as well as Dr. Russell Dawn, president of Concordia University. I hope to write something more substantive about this in the near future, but I believe the willingness of these men to ruffle feathers of theological progressives in their midst and police the boundaries of their denomination for subversive teaching is probably a factor in why this is true. What I learned about their courageous, principled leadership was encouraging not just to me personally but also an object lesson for other denominations in how to be firm but loving. One example—Dr. Dawn eliminated DEI officers and shuttered the Women and Genders Studies Department. And he did it while enduring protests, lawsuits, social media firestorms, online petitions, and even threats. I’m going to share some of this at TPUSA Educator Summit. And after that will try to turn into proper article.

@ItsjustmeandJC Yea that one was photoshopped.

@JoshuaBarzon Yes

Should a church have Wednesday night service?

@AbelKops @JoshuaBarzon No. To teach people the word of God and to worship God.

@JoshuaBarzon For extra donations?

Which logo design do you like best? I’m currently developing a brand identity for FBC. The church asked me to incorporate the imagery of John 15 (the True Vine of Christ) with visible fruit, all framed within the outline of a church window. Thanks in advance for your vote!

@MartinP49146517 @rickbrennanjr This is a lie

Protestants were the first Mormons What you believe as a Protestant was invented between the 16th and 21st centuries and was never believed by the historic Christian church in the first over 1500 years of Christianity - just like Mormon, Seventh Day Adventist, and Jehovah's Witness doctrines.

Here we see a Catholic priest preaching fire and brimstone, not against sin, but against all who are not Roman Catholic and who do not regularly participate in the Mass and the Eucharist. Perhaps he should read the words of Christ Himself. The Apostle John said, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” Jesus answered: “Do not stop him… For the one who is not against us is for us.”
— Mark 9:38–40 Notice the issue: “He was not following us.” That is exactly the institutional instinct Christ corrected. The man was acting in Christ’s name, yet he was not part of the visible company of the apostles. Jesus did not say, “Condemn him.” He said, “Do not stop him.” So before Rome declares every Protestant and Orthodox believer outside Christ because they are not in communion with Rome, perhaps Rome should listen again to Christ. The Church belongs to Jesus Christ. Not to the Roman Pontiff. #CatholicX

@BibleU777 @IanDaKitchen No. Those churches weren’t supposed to be there in the first place

@IanDaKitchen So they did take something away then.

Highly disagree. All the solid Priscilla and Phoebe types in my church, including my church planting spouse, are glad to see the SBC stand on Scripture. They don't feel silenced or unappreciated in the slightest; no one is taking anything from them.

@SlickRickFowler That’s because you’re an idiot. If you need that many wedges you aren’t a good golfer.

Might ruffle some feathers here but if you don’t game 50° 54° and 58° wedges I assume you’re not a serious golfer

@WilliamWolfe @thatlandinotho 👏👏👏👏

> 43% to abolish the ERLC in 2025 > 57% for Willy Rice > 74% for Mohler’s Amendment Conservative reformers in the SBC aren’t the fringe. We are the representatives of what the broad base of grassroots Southern Baptists think & want We are the center. Time to assume it and act accordingly.

@tiffinita @TylerGaulden It’s in the bible

@TylerGaulden Honest question: how do you reconcile that the disciples heard the Good News of Christ’ resurrection from women?

An Open Letter to Southern Baptists: I have been a Baptist my entire life, but I only became a Southern Baptist three years ago when I began serving as a pastor at the Hillcrest Baptist Church. At that time, I had very little understanding of who they were or how they operated, but what I have found are people who believe the Bible, preach the Word, live honest and humble lives, and believe in spreading the Gospel to the world through any means possible. This morning, the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention made a historic decision. This vote was not just about women pastors; it was about making a stand for the Word of God. The office of the Pastor being held solely by men is the critical point in refusing to step down the slippery slope of denying the Bible and falling into apostasy. History shows that no organized denomination has ever taken that step and come back from it. By a nearly 3/4 majority, our messengers decided to plant a flag on this issue. And I want to be 100% clear, I agree with this decision wholeheartedly. It is time for our generation to take a firm stand. There can be no more sideline commentators—only believers who stand solely on what the Bible says, not what the culture dictates. We stand on the shoulders of men like Criswell, Rogers, and Stanley, who fought in their generation to reclaim the Convention from liberal apostates. Now, that same spirit tries to slither its way back in. It is time to crush the head of the serpent once and for all and let the world know that we stand unashamedly, believing every word of the Bible. Our forefathers died because of their belief in this blessed Book; the least we can do is live for it. Some say this decision marginalizes women, but that is not true. I cannot speak for all Southern Baptist women, but the precious women of God in my congregation believe this was the right decision—not because I say so, but because they believe the Bible. This move will no doubt cause some to leave the Convention. While some may see this as a loss, it is no different than a surgeon removing a cancerous tumor; you are losing something that was once a part of you, but it was only going to cause further harm in the long term. So, in light of this, we stand. In the face of opposition, we stand. When the winds of culture blow against us, we stand. When others disagree, we stand. Let us boldly preach the Word, live holy and humble lives, and make our stand until our time on this earth is done or the Lord Jesus descends from heaven to call us home. Until Christ returns, Tyler Gaulden

@_believeandknow @TylerGaulden False teaching brings in a lot of folks

@TylerGaulden Anglican Church in North America (ACNA): different views within on women pastors. Attendance is up by double digits for the third consecutive year. The ACNA is clearly on the rise, while the SBC is still working through a long structural decline in membership.

@davidallenreed @PastorMikeStone Go be autonomous somewhere else

@PastorMikeStone Yes it is

The SBC couldn’t infringe on a church’s autonomy if it tried. If you’ve ever voted to remove a church, you agree the SBC holds that right in its own autonomy. If you think the current issue is not a sufficient breach, then make that argument. But it’s not a breach of autonomy.

@TruthFramed So she uses the fake 30,000 number that includes multiple orthodox denominations and multiple Roman denominations in church too?

@EvangelicalDW Wrong

Al Mohler has been the most influential Southern Baptist for the last 30 years. And in an effort to cement his legacy as the hero of the story, he introduced the Mohler Amendment to ban female pastors. But after hearing a tidal wave of feedback, Al Mohler has decided to neuter his own amendment to ban female pastors, instead codifying a glaring loophole. The new version allows female pastors as long as the job title isn’t too obvious and they preach not to the regular Sunday congregation. All other preaching is within bounds, and all other functions, exercising authority, are in play because of Mohler’s reductionist view of what a pastor is. Mohler pitches this as a truly unifying addition. But many backers of the original will back out at the updated version because if it passes, female pastors would be here to stay in the Southern Baptist Convention, just under a different name, and the messengers will not allow further reform, thinking that the battle has been won. Al Mohler sees himself as the hero in the Southern Baptist Convention, but his toothless amendment is an ego-driven subversion of a Southern Baptist distinctive.
