But know this: difficult times will come in the last days. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,…

The SBC Snowball Of Compromise Grows As It Quickly Rolls Downhill

Based on a loud silence it would appear to me that men like Dr. Al Mohler (yet to answer either of my letters) and Dr. Frank Page (barely answered my letters) really couldn’t care less about defending the doctrine of the Holy Trinity as spiritual coward and wealthy Word Faith mogul Dr. T.D. Jakes is warmly welcomed into Ed Young, Jr.’s SBC church. Yep, a man who denies Who God actually is going be brought in to teach the fools in attendance at C3 2007 how to grow God’s Church. Huh!?

Our next painfully pitiful exhibit on display following deceitful spirits and their doctrines of demons is the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (SBC) which is now into full blown contemplative mysticism. Then we have Dr. Tom Ascol who tried (and failed) to introduce a resolution at the last SBC Annual Meeting that to be a member of an SBC church one needs to actually be born again. I will stand with a real man of God like Dr. Tom Ascol any day.

Now if I recall correctly I believe the new slogan adopted by that SBC meeting might have been “Show Me The Money.” And finally here’s some more lovely information about a course in Spiritual Formation which was just wrapped up at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary (SBC), Mill Valley Campus called “P1115 Spiritual Formation” with Dr. Faith Kim. Note below that one of the textbooks was Celebration of Discipline by Living Spiritual Teacher Richard Foster who is himself a key mentor in the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church.

Foster, a good friend of Emergent Guru Brian McLaren, also happens to be a Quaker who believes that within all men is an “Inner Light” which is allegedly Christ. O, very nice. Can’t you see what this means? If all men already have Christ (God) within them then there would be no need to be born again. C’mon, think now…I know you can do it; just which fallen archangel masquerading as an angel of light might have come up with this warped and toxic idea. A phrase I borrow from under-rabbi Rob Bell.

So I’m just sure that the Lord is absolutely overjoyed with the SBC’s bold stance for man-love right now while they themselves elevate shameless promoters of self like Emergent Erwin Raphael McManus. O how desperately the Southern Baptist Convention needs a few men with some spiritual guts to actually turn their back on the SBC idol of autonomy and actually make a stand for Biblical truth. But alas, I’m afraid I must tell you there isn’t a Dr. Walter Martin (SBC) among them:
