Several years ago the SBC had a showdown between errantists and inerrantists and elected an inerrantist president, thus solidifying the inerrantist's grasp on the denominational hardware and heirarchy.
It was reported in the media that the vote between the errantists and inerrantists on that occasion was something like 50 something to 40 something percent.
Since that time a few churches have pulled out of the SBC to form the CBF and the Baptist Alliance along infidel lines, but nowhere near the half who voted against the inerrantist party in the famous election. So what happened to all those others who voted for the errancy party? Certainly they didn't disappear and certainly they didn't change their views.
It would be interesting to know just what the percentage of real Baptist churches compared to Infidel Baptist churches in the SBC today. Does anyone have any stats here?
Along these lines it is interesting to note that the Infidels are often mixed into the same churches with the authentic Baptists. I talked with a man who attends a large SBC church in Arkansas and he estimated that church was split half and half between inerrantists and errantists.
It would really be interesting to know how typical such situations are in the SBC.
