Should baptists be part of the free masonry?

[Baptist4life]

I find it of interest that others are told they are misrepresenting Masons, when I am not seeing that happening at all.

Secondly, we are to worship none but Whom folks? Is Scripture not clear enough here? Yet, look at the extent the masons will go to protect the titles they give one another, i.e. "worshipful master" and posts are developed to justify this unscriptural practice.

Then again, we are being told that we should watch we don't misrepresent this? Why is this being protected like one is protecting God's Word? I wish I could say I see the same protection and warnings flying into threads protecting the Word of God being attacked as I see it happening here to protect this practice that is not Biblical. What, are we to protect this teaching because someone who is in it is our friend and holds a position and warn others they had better be careful!? For what specifically? I can understand the warning to never call into question ones salvation, but I can also see the need to call out this masonic teaching that is unscriptural, and if doing this part is wrong, then that is just ridiculous. Sure, mark me and single me out for my post. I have spoken the truth.

Amen!!!! :thumbsup: Puzzles me too.

I am a Primitive Baptist in faith and doctrine. I am not Primitive in Practice because my home church excluded me because of my Masonic affiliation. Many good sound Primitive Baptist Elders have labored with me to show me the error of Masonry, but sadly each of these, those who expressed their anti-masonic feelings from a position of Grace and Love, still presented their positions from misunderstandings of the purpose of Masonry.

Evidence of the level on spiritual blindness.

So with his testimony of not practicing within a local Baptist church let me ask this. By the way, I whole-heartedly support this PBC confronting a member about this involvement.

So I ask this:

Is it OK and acceptable that a moderator not be an active member of a Baptist Church?

Secondly, can a person become a moderator here by being a member of the Lodge only?

It is allowable that one remain an active moderator representing and protecting and/or moderating baptist belief while not a member of a local church, and simply only a member of the lodge?

He has already stated that he is part of a Baptist Church:

"I continue to serve the Lord in a body of Sovereign Grace Landmark Baptists who know my masonic affiliation and do not oppose it"

Thank you.

This is a privately owned board, not a church. If you are sincere in your question please direct it to the owner of the board.

Secondly, can a person become a moderator here by being a member of the Lodge only?

"by being a member of the Lodge only? Your question makes no sense, and besides that has no relevancy.

Your personal questions into this person's life are really none of your business, except for the fact that he brought some of them up himself. Being a member of the lodge does not affect his ability to fairly moderate a board.

Consider the case closed.

My home church of Old Line Primitive Baptists in faith, practice and order DID not exclude me because they believed I was preaching error. They excluded me based on the same emotionally charged opinions that are presented here. You each have been presented with evidence of the truth concerning the work and intent of work of Masons and Masonry. You choose to receive untruth rather than truth in this matter.

I have never read the book by Albert Pike. Last night I downloaded and began reading it. I have searched and searched its 'sacred' pages in the attempt to find the infamous quote always referenced of him and this work by many sound Brethren which states Masonry as being a "Luciferian" religious organization.

This is a lie of the Popes from ages gone by and you Baptists, believing that Catholics cannot be touched by the arm of God, receive the same lie of this potentate? What's more, you not only receive his slander of Masons, but your further and support it as well? Yet you will think nothing of questioning your ability to bind the word of God in the salvation of the souls of His redeemed through Christ even when the words of the scripture tell us that the word (LOGOS) of God is not bound--2 Timothy 2:9; further and from the same context Paul says he endures all things for the elect's sake...and further he tells us that if we deny the Lord we will not reign with him, but he cannot deny himself.

In Romans 8 Paul tells us that which is necessary to be Christ's,

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

This is not a statement that 'Now if any man have not the truth, but in his having not the Spirit of Christ, THEN he is none of his.

The PBC did not confront me. I made it known to them because I learned they were opposed to it by a man written document called the Fulton Confession of 1900. If I had not revealed myself to them in the integrity of my Masonic standing they would still to this day have no knowledge of it.
