Independent Baptist Churches Ministers

Salty, here's another BB member's take on all this:

Things change. CP giving can now be designated to the missionary/program of the church's choice. Problem solved.

We're way off topic here. Let's get back to the OP.

How does the Independent Baptist see a Ordained Minister being divorced but never married again and does he still qualify to preach and be ordained and also while I am at it what you all think on double married preachers also???

DocCas said: ↑
In my opinion, the CP is not only unbiblical, but anti-biblical. The local churches have virtually nothing to say about what missionaries are supported, how much they are supported, or have any input to their doctrine, nor any supervision at all over those missionaries


So is DocCas saying that ALL mission boards are anti-biblical?

Also, a SBC church is NOT required to support the Cooperative pgm.
Also many SBC churches support non-SBC Independent missionaries.

Then you also need to define Fundamental Baptist.
I am SBC - and a Fundamentalist.

With that said, A good number of IFB would say one divorce - (by either the man or his current wife) and he cannot be a pastor. Yet, there are IFB that will permit a divorced man to be a pastor. As I said before - its up to the individual local church.

Frank, with the wide diversity of belief and practice on the matter -- even among "Independent Fundamental Baptist" -- the best thing is probably just to inquire of specific churches that you know
