What doctrines in a local church would cause you to now leave if adopted?

[kyredneck]

You can’t be serous?

Yes, it's seriously satire...

 

[Ben1445]

Isn't "no snakes" a Baptist distinctive?

After we get comfortable with snakes, we move on to the kool-aid.

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

Not teaching the gospel of Christ Bible study by Bible study, sermon by sermon.

Out of curiosity, “ How do you do Bible Study”?

Yes, it's seriously satire...

you mean comedy I’m thinking….showmanship, marketing etc.

There is a leap there….somewhere between…kinda from acapella to Pink Floyd.

1.... being a part of denominations and conference's. MUST BE INDEPENDENT.

our church does affiliate with the SBC and we are still independent!

 

[John of Japan]

Could you elaborate? Aren’t pastor’s elders?
Are you comfortable with the traditional Baptist deacon board rule?

Rob

"Elder rule" is having pastors, deacons, and elders, and the "elders" are the ones who actually lead the church. The pastor is usually the "teaching elder," and does not lead the church. John Mac's church works that way, supposedly.

As for "deacon rule," nope, they are servants (the meaning of diakonos, of course), not rulers. The pastor is the leader and the people rule in Baptist churches.

Why what?

Why what?

Why would you claim you are independent and affiliate with the SBC?

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

That doesn’t make any sense. In any event, I will not have any affiliations with any church besides my own. I want no interference from SBC, ABC …XYZ etc.

And so if you get a stinker of a Pastor, what’s the process to get rid of him?

OK…we have a process where everyone attends the sermon, including children ( with the parents ) and if their are any questions it’s the parents responsibility to field the questions. And if the parents don’t understand then the Pastor fields the questions…or one of the elders step in to clarify.

1 Tim. 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

If you click on the sermons, you will notice that each week there is one labeled "Sunday School" and one labeled "Sunday Service". During the "Sunday School", the young children are taught separately.

Got it….OK with that however I really prefer communal family oriented teaching.
