RE: Pastor Kenny Baldwin and Crossroads Baptist Church A public platform requires public scrutiny. Crossroads Baptist Church had a Friday night service that is blowing people's minds that have known Bro. Baldwin for decades. Here is the question: How far is a well-known preacher that has enormous influence over our young people allowed to drift away from the old paths before it's OK to say something? And before anyone asks me "Did you call Bro. Baldwin...?" my answer is “no.” Am I supposed to ask him if the video is real? To double check to make sure it is not AI?There's nothing to talk about. The video has already been viewed over 20K times in just a few days. The word is out. The secret is out. Now people know. A preacher that is known far and wide and invited in to preach to our young people should openly and boldly announce when they make a major shift away from what they have always been. I am not talking about their right to do as they wish, or as they see fit; I'm talking about an obligation to declare it so pastors and churches are not blindsided by early morning text messages and social media posts revealing that their church is NOTHING like it once was. That their church is NOTHING like the churches they are preaching in and that their church is NOTHING like what they portray themselves to be. I'm getting weary of the switch and bait happening in our pulpits. You think you're getting one thing, and you're actually getting something completely different. It is a free country; you can do what you want to and be what you want to. As an Independent Baptist, you can paint your steeple purple with orange polka dots for all I care. But to go to conservative, solid, old-fashion Baptist churches that are trying to hold the line, and pretend to be like them when you CLEARLY are not, that is just wrong and it cannot be allowed to continue unchallenged. To stand on the platforms of churches and challenge their young people to stand in the old paths when your church looks like a nightclub on Friday night is beyond comprehension. It is indefensible. It is heartbreaking. One thing we can learn from this; in the future, before you invite a man to come preach for you, no matter how long you've known him, you've got to vet him all over again. Go look at his church's livestreams. People change. Their churches change. Their ministry philosophy changes. Their position on a host of issues change. Their music changes. But for some reason, they do not feel the need to tell you. That is what this post is about. See the service here. It gets wild at the 1 hour 56 minutes mark: youtube.com/live/JPz9L5VcP…
