I was attending a rather large, all black (98%) Baptist church. I made some friends there and liked the pastor’s preaching, but I eventually decided the culture was too alien for me.
So now I am attending an independent Bible church, where the pastor graduated from John MacArthur’s Masters University, though he now no longer agrees with Mac on certain topics.
Even though I am definitely not a Calvinist, I do like the reformed theology orientation and the use of the Valley of Vision book of Puritan prayers.
I am resigned to the burdensome reality that no church or pastor will completely conform to my personal theology. I am mostly Baptist, but I add pacifism and belief in divine miracles and supernatural healing.
Does anyone have any insights into independent Bible churches?
