The Southern Baptist published beliefs from the years 1833 through
2000 and particularly as adopted by the Southern Baptist
Convention, 14 June 2000 are reviewed. The questions are asked; "As
published do they clearly show the plan of salvation?" and "does
the average Southern Baptist know and understand them?" If not,
they represent some type of tool for the leadership who in some
instances seem to show an almost pathological dedication to them,
even overshadowing the Scriptures. (They are "a witness to the
world." Baptist Faith and Message 2000, p. 3) The Baptist Faith
& Message Statement has always created controversy. The one
from the year 2000 created the most, however, not nearly as much as
Jesus created. Even Calvin (1509-1564) noted, "Tumult and unrest
often accompany the true proclamation of God's word." (Shepherds
Notes, Calvins Institutes, Broadman and Holman Publishers, 1998
p.14) These conclusions have come from discussions and written
reviews by senior Baptists, some who have, at least
psychologically, left the Southern Baptist Convention. I am
reminded of the words of Paul, "I am debtor to the barbarians; and
both to the wise and unwise." (Romans 1:14) There is no doubt in my
mind that if Christ were to return in this century as He did 2000
years ago He would be crucified again; this time probably by
Baptists instead of the Jews. Major issues will be discussed.
Baptists have always had the right to discuss and compare their
beliefs. I can clearly remember my father, who was the best true
Christian that I have ever known saying, "Son, I am a Southern
Baptist because I believe they are closer to what the Bible teaches
than anyone else." This book is really 18 books in one. It reviews
many "big" current religious issues including: refuting the concept
of the original sin, clarification of predestination, what is truth
(The question Pilate asked Jesus and did not wait for an answer),
the Philosophy of War (effects of religion, pacifists, the "Just
War," Terror-Us (A new word for crime in America.), shame in our
churches, our children moving from television to video games and
further away from the Bible, the false concept and security of
Baptist in the non-biblical widespread belief of a pre-tribulation
rapture, the Biblical warnings that must happen before Christ comes
again, a description of the End of the World, and America going to
hell reading religious novels. I mentioned to a friend the
distraction of reading two novels a week instead of reading the
Bible. The answer, " I don't care, I'm going to read them." This is
a classic example of the addiction of reading novels and their
substitution as an idol. No one will be Left Behind. Everyone will
either be flown to Heaven or thrown into Hell.
