@DennyBurk @TomBuck Baptists have a wide range of things that each church does differently. That’s because baptists are self governed. These differences are not primary which is why they can co-operate. Why do you think you have to force your underst...

@baptistvibes Now, if Jesus says, “Do not be called Rabbi; for only One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers…Nor are you to be called leaders; for only One is your Leader, that is, Christ” (Mt 23:8-10), then HOW MUCH MORE would this apply to cal...

🧵Doug Ponder @dougponder feels that @BenMandrell, the president of Lifeway Christian Resources, got a little too egalitarian sounding in a recent interview he did on Feb 2, 2025 on the @markedpodcast and that Southern Baptists should be deeply concer...

@KMD_0nline There is still a lot of cases where they are treated as second class citizens…remarkably in many churches. Just watch when a female pastor joins other male pastors in a Baptist fellowship. Watch how the men respond. But yes, women are co...

@AletheiaHS @immrbloo Grew up evangelical free, then Pentecostal (PAOC), then Calvary Chapel which went non-denom, then went Pentecostal (ACOP). When we left that church, went to a Baptist (Baptist General Conference), then we went to a Reformed Chur...

@covapologetics I see. Would you like me to change it? If so and before I do, are you suggesting that you are merely claiming your personal opinion on this issue and admit that it is sufficiently unclear so that most Baptist churches don’t agree wit...

@MaineMinistry After the Baptist church, this is when I was looking at these 3 other churches: one was a tiny Baptist church from a different denomination where the pastor who helped me led, one a Mennonite Brethren church and another an IFB. The fir...

@MaineMinistry My next church was Baptist and within 5 minutes of our house. Rather than people driving in from all over, most people attended from the community. It was friendly and sound. We quickly became members and integrated into volunteering i...

@Methodios007 In the Bible study I run at my work, I have believers from Coptic, Roman Catholic, Dutch Reformed, Pentecostal, Baptist and non-denominational backgrounds who all fellowship because we believe the same gospel and scriptures even though ...

@riemersonck @VCITW There was no such hierarchy at creation. Creating the man first does not confer authority over. Authority must be given as John the Baptist declares. When was Adam given authority over Eve? "John answered, 'A person cannot receiv...

@ronhenzel @megbasham There wasn’t another amenable Baptist church nearby so it was between a Calvary Chapel and an RCA church. The IFB church was great but the pastor seemed to be convinced I was a semi pelagian so I wouldn’t be allowed to continue...

@BaconMore1 @InnovationHQ2 @elijahtmadison @SpecterAndBride @tigereyes1972 That is mixing up creator with father. Why is the man never said to be the glory of his earthly father? Hair is not someone's glory. John the Baptist never cut his hair as he...

@MackDonahue @MikeWingerii As far as demanding that egalitarians repent of their beliefs this would be like telling paedobaptists to repent of baptizing babies. This would fall under the category of grace for differences with the goal of teaching to...

@RachelleMerle Please explain how NATURE teaches you there is a difference between males and females when it comes to head hair. Then explain how it is disgraceful for John the Baptist to have long hair (a Nazarite). Even Paul himself took a Nazarit...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham Is John the Baptist shamed because he was a nazarite from birth and therefore couldn’t cut his hair like Samson? Even Paul took a Nazarite vow and in numbers both men and women could take the vow. The vow involves...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham Is it so far fetched that a conservative could believe that a godly woman could teach true doctrine or pastor a church based on a careful reading of scripture? Question: 1Co 11:14-15—does “nature” teach you that ...
