    Is there some particular non-essential area of the faith that you are thinking about?

    I was not disagreeing with their decisions, as to me its a personal conviction thing!

    For example, would you separate over a style of worship, or bible version used?

    No need to get granular in this forum. That's what we have the Translations\Versions Forum for.

    Hi, Squire. Did you ever know of Chester Tulga who was in the CBA/CBF?

    Yeup, I knew of him. But, I never had the pleasure of seeing him in person. I wasn't saved until 1972. By the time I was in Bible College the CBA\FBF split was ancient history.

    CBF, to a Southern Baptist, indicates an association that's not exactly conservative/fundamentalist...

    When these churches say that they "enter into covenant" with each other is this the same thing as what SBC churches see as entering into cooperation with each other or is it considered binding (as in a covenant which establishes accountability)?

    Mike, in the context of this thread CBF is the earlier (circa 1920s) Conservative Baptist Fellowship -- which began as a fundamental fellowship within the American (Northern) Baptist Convention -- rather than the recent (1991) Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, which was a moderate/liberal "come-outer" group from the Southern Baptist Convention.

    Jon, are you looking at the covenant relationship on THIS PAGE.

    No, I was elsewhere on the site but this does help. Thank you. I think this form of covenant between local churches exceeds what I would be comfortable with (I don't believe God has ordained such covenants between individual churches), but I agree with the idea of churches coming together in joint mission efforts.

    I'm more familiar with terms like fellowship and association, based on shared interests, whereas covenant sounds more like a a binding agreement. It may be a difference without a distinction, in actual practice, since Baptist churches are autonomous.

    That's what I was wondering. Today we have quite a few Baptist churches that I would not consider autonomous at a local church or congregational level (e.g., satellite churches). I'm not saying that's necessary good or bad, but it does seem a departure from traditional Baptist ecclesiology .

    Knowing some of the men from Conservative Baptist Fellowship. They would have stampeded out the door to get away from the Coops.

    I hadn't heard of that CBF of the 20s. That's quite interesting!

    I'd actually thought after posting that CBF was a typo and they really meant FBF...or I wouldn't have been quite as snarky.

    The name Conservative Baptist Fellowship was adopted in 1946. Before, it was the Fundamentalist Fellowship of the Northern Baptist Convention.

    The Conservative Baptist Fellowship broke with the Conservative Baptist Association of America in 1967 and renamed itself the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship.
