We are booming with people fleeing the Northern cities especially with people escaping from those being locked down, and so many of the churches are clearly being targeted for takeover by nefarious elements.
Naples ranks No. 20 on list of fastest growing cities in the country

They are after the money. They people at Naples who tried the takeover were liars and con men. They probably have destroyed all of the mainline churches years ago.
On the video, they say that Mohler is acquainted with all of the woke elements. Do you think that Mohler is any better than Greear?
Will watch your video tonight. I don’t know how much longer the SBC can hold together. I don’t see the SBC as stained with racism and if it is, how can Mohler change anything? I thought Jesus is the propitiation for sin?

Thank you. Appreciate that.
Jesuits a long time ago, had set their eyes on destroying the baptist. And don't take me wrong, it is not all them, even as it is not all them in our own ranks, but, through seminaries is where the influence came, and the general wickedness of men's hearts for money, power, and even some thinking that they do God service.
Of most of the other labels among Christians, my heart is for my Baptist brethren, who are faithful to what they do know to be true. I have a heart for others of other labels also, but for those that love the word of God, love Creation, love evangelizing, bible study, love to see people delivered, love Jesus and are kind, I find the faithful Baptist individuals closer to what I know to be true, though they have some theology that I know to be incorrect, but, even so, it was an IFB, brother Kent Hovind (Dr. Dino), whose messages on Creation helped me to come out of Roman Catholicism, and worse darkness. The Holy Ghost, through those messages, caused me to see, to live. I owed God a debt I could not pay, I owed brother Kent a hug, and my heart ached for him and his family, for the things he (and they) went through. For a while I saw a completely broken man, even when still sharing the truth. There are others like him, that I feel closer too, than many of who are labelled among our own, like brother Ken Ham, and so many others.
He could not. The devil is employing all his mind and strength to push in that last great struggle. No man can stand against the devil, one wiser than Daniel, except the Holy Ghost be with them.
Oh, so He is. He is the cure for Racism:
May these be a blessing to all those whom believe in the power of God, in Christ Jesus, by and through the Holy Ghost.
May you be as children of Light.

There are many Baptist churches down here in the Naples area, it would seem like they could all get together and expose these people. Do they have a central body that overlooks the churches or is each one run by the preacher of the church, I am only familiar with the Southern Baptist so not quite sure how they are all set up...
I think that the First Baptist Church of Naples is SBC.
It is
No Baptist church or churches anywhere has a central body that over looks them. It would be contrary to baptist distinctives.

How do they come together on doctrine, worship, standards, who is a minister, etc....
As if no central governing body, does every church set its own path by its church board or leaders or individual pastor.
Yes but Baptist churches are ruled governed by scripture. Out of that are "Baptist Distinctives". Baptists do not believe in a central government. We find that contrary to scripture.
Worship in the SBC is very varied. Everything from Seeker, to Traditional, to Reformed and everything in between

How do they come together for a convention, if no two churches follow the same standards or it would seem rules for that matter.
I explained that to you. "Baptist Distinctives"

Is it akin to a "Apostles Creed" or "Athanasian Creed", etc.. or is it a statement of beliefs?
I am a member of USAA because I want to be a member. I can because I meet the qualifications (I am military affiliated). But USAA has no authority over me (I can leave at any time).
The SBC is like that in a way. If you meet the criteria you can be a member. SBC churches can leave the SBC at any time. The SBC has no say over any church.
Think of the actual yearly convention as a business mtg
