Featured A New Generation of IFB Megachurches???

Bigger and larger barns

 

This is not the time to be wasting money an enormous amount of money on such

keep what you have go to 2-3 services. Split 2 groups of 150-200 off in each and start 2 additional churches seems to be the best option to me

JMO. Which is worth nothing

I’m an old fat white guy and nobody listens to me anyways

 

Don't build megachurches. Plant new ones.

 

We attended a vibrant church, had a great outreach to the community, etc. Then it was decided that the church should move to a new and bigger location. Grew to approx 2500 but then slid back to about 1000 -1100. Has now become a very woke, sensitive church that really does not seem to have any direction. It seems like the word of God is now more of a suggestion, I mean why upset people. I have watched their live feed a couple of times to see if they have gotten over the wokeness but sadly no.

Note I said we attended that church but not anymore. When a church leaves the word of God then it is time to leave that church.

 

Very difficult to get appointed there

How about the BBF?

 

Is that the old baptist faith missions?

 

Agree 100% with what everyone else stated here. Once a Pastor can't establish a meaningful relationship with each member (to me that is at least knowing the general idea of what is going on in everyone's lives, their jobs, families ,etc) it's time to split.

It's fine for associate Pastors split the flock up and focus on them, but the lead Pastor should still at least know everyone.

 

Indeed, the continuous spreading out of churches from neighborhood to neighborhood, community to community was the example given us all in the New Testament. God's Way was decentralization focusing only on following Christ. Rome's way is centralization and the building of nicolaitan "man-empires" focusing on the "big shot" in the pulpit and not Christ.

God's Way was to protect doctrine with allot of independent pastors instead of one man centralizing doctrine himself. The allure and love of mammon (in all its forms) always corrupts and I do mean always.

 

What are yours, Salty? My wife and I are members of a small, SBC-associated church. Is there something wrong with that?

 

I know most in the IFB movement have a totally false belief and dislike of anything SBC because this round peg doesn't fit into their square hole! I just lambasted a bunch of IFB people on another site for passing false information about the SBC having to pay homage to a hierarchy, which, of course, is as far from the truth as Satan is from going to Heaven for eternity. It shouldn't make any difference. They're doing the work of the Lord whether those in IFB churches like it or not!

 

Baptist Bible Fellowship

 

I'm about to be thrown off a site because on of the moderators and one of her cohorts from Canada are always bashing the churches associated with the SBC. They try to misrepresent the churches as under a hierarchy, lie about the missions programs, then say we're forced to associate with churches who teach heretical doctrine, etc. I've defended the churches in the SBC showing how they are as independent as the IFB churches, yet, these "Christians" don't accept that, even though they've never even been inside an SBC church or studied them at all. I find this all to common in Christian circles...lambasting anything that doesn't fit with their pet positions and doctrines. It's one thing that has driven many in my family away from church and away from the Lord. It's a shame.

 

True, most IFBs think of SBs as a denomination on its own.
