    Amen to that! Out of the majority of the admittedly I.F.B.'s (sounds a little too much like M.I.B.'s) many have sited that they went because they were invited. Myself included. Pretty simple fact that a person would rather visit a place that they've been invited to..at least they know they will be welcome. When people ask why my church's numbers have grown so much, I think it's pretty obvious that It's because we asked them if they would like to come.

    Do Southern Baptist's believe in Soul-Winning? I'm asking because I want to know, not because I'm being sarcastic or a trouble maker.

    Why do you think Southern Baptist "cooperate" with each other? It's called missions. Missions=Soul-winning. Millions of $ each year go to that so I hope they believe in it.

    While I haven't been a member of a IFB church, if God led me to go there, I would. Obviously, God places who He wants in certain churches...even if one may be an IFB and another a SBC!

    One thing I have noticed is that most IFB churches tend to be smaller (at least the ones I've been around) and have great fellowship together.
