“This wasn’t a radical innovation—it was a reaffirmation of what the Baptist Faith & Message 2000 already says. But, in typical fashion, the SBC chose to pass up the opportunity to make a clear, unequivocal stand.”
(The Dissenter) In a move that should surprise no one who’s been paying attention, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has once again proven that when faced with a choice between standing firm on biblical principles or caving to cultural pressure, they’ll take the path of least resistance. The recent failure to pass the Mike Law Amendment is a glaring testament to the theological decay festering within this ostensible “fortress” of conservative Christianity.
Historically, denominations and churches that have failed to uphold biblical doctrinal standards regarding women in the pulpit have always spiraled into total apostasy. Look no further than the mainline Protestant denominations—most recently, the United Methodists. Once they opened the floodgates to women pastors, it wasn’t long before they were ordaining practicing homosexuals, blessing same-sex marriages, and questioning the authority of Scripture altogether. It’s a slippery slope, to be sure, with no limiting factor—and the SBC is now sliding down it with reckless abandon.
