and how do you describe yourself now?

AGAIN, I DISAGREE!!! Now, some of you may care for Wiki - but "The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), alternatively the Great Commission Baptists (GCB), is a Christian denomination based in the United States. It is the world's largest Baptist organization, the largest Protestant, and the...

So we disagree on that! That is his opinion! NOT SBC doctrine! In fact, I will go a step further and say that the President is wrong. Subjugate" = bring under domination or control, especially by conquest: Our church is NOT dominated or controlled by the SBC. The only control the SBC has...
