Salty, our discussion isn't going anywhere. I have given my opinion and I stand by what I shared .

Salty, I don't believe the Lord would call me to serve in this type of church. This type of church is all about control.

Not to be unkind, but I would not join or stay in a church where I was not allowed to vote.

Hamel, these characteristics were very common in the branch of the Independent Baptists I grew up in. Things like you were never allowed to question authority, group think, controlling the parishioners personal lives, and judging those that differ with them on the finer points of doctrine...

When I moved back home I visited an Independent Baptist Church who during the winter months had the following schedule: 10:00 AM S.S. 11:00 AM worship ( At noon broke for covered dish lunch) 2:00 PM service ( replacing evening service) They did this as it was an older congregation and many...

Dear Pastor, Thank you for your well thought out response. I agree with what you have said. Just for the record, we were well aware of the short comings of the Southern Baptists. We were just so tired of dealing with the "Pope syndrome" and those who claimed fidelity to the Word of God yet...

I grew up in the Hyles/ Rice camp of the independent Baptist. Many times we had Jack Hyles, and other well know pastors speak at my home church. We were taught to love and honor these men and others like them. I graduated for a christian college and my husband graduated from a state university...

I agree with your statement about groups that are cults or teach a works salvation.

My husband who was a pastor would allow someone to join our church if they had been born again and had been baptized by immersion. If they were from a denomination other than Baptist or from another Baptist group, but believed the fundamentals of the faith and agreed with the doctrinal...

Rev Mitchell, in the church circles I grew up in there was something going on at church nearly 4 to 5 times a week and you were judged if you were not there every time the doors were open. In our circles, church did hinder family life. I'm not against Sunday evening services as I was a...

I attend a church that runs 80 to around 120 on Sunday mornings with less than 20 on Sunday evenings and Wednesday evenings. With both parents working full time and all the school activities and family responsibilities including Saturday as a catchup day, I believe not having a Sunday...

My pastor husband was also a certified teacher. I never wanted him to teach in a Christian school that was run by one church. The church would own your private life as well as your employment.
