I've thought about switching to the UMC from the SBC because of the divorce issue but couldn't get past the infant baptism. It does seem to almost be a running joke that if you are a Baptist minister switching to the UMC its because you've been divorced. Has the OP found that to be the case in...

actually I havent. I moved to Florida and joined an SBC church but am not happy with that for reasons apart from divorce (They allow divorced deacons so I doubt they would have a problem with divorced pastors.) Have been considering the UMC since the ones in the south seem more conservative than...

I am seriously considering attending LRU to get a Bachelors degree. I have an associates from an unaccredited bible college and they were the only accredited school that said they would accept at least some of the credits. What type of reputation does LRU have? I know Charles Stanley has a...

Thanks!

AofG would except for the divorce part. They do allow divorced pastors (I myself feel called to the ministry but can't get my ex wife to reconcile.) but only if they are not remarried. Not exactly sure what Foursquare's position is, though I gather they do allow it since their founder was...

Church of the Nazarene practices believer's baptism? I thought being an offshoot of the Methodists, that they would practice sprinkling of infants? As for the non Charismatic part, It's more the emotionalism that turns me off, then the doctrine of The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Things like...

What type of church would be closest to this? Practices Believer's Baptism Doesn't believe OSAS Doesn't bar someone whos been divorced from being a pastor Is conservative theologically non Charismatic

What denomination is that?

Thanks for your kind words Oscar. Still looking for an baptistic (ie believe in believer's baptism) evangelical, non Charismatic churches that wouldn't prohibit a divorced man from being a pastor. I know some SBC churches would (Charles Stanley is divorced, and he's probably the most famous...

I'm looking for a church that would allow a divorced man to be a pastor. I currently go to an Independent Baptist church but in their bylaws I know they don't believe in divorced men should be pastors. I would say theologically I'm pretty close to a Southern Baptist but know most SBC churches...

This will be an interesting list. Jimmy Swaggart (especially in the 80's) Adrian Rogers Jack Hyles Joseph Prince Jon Jenkins (pastors an Independent Baptist church in Gaylord MI)

I was doing a search on Andersonville and found the thread.

Yes, we were. We met while I was in bible college.

I believe so, (I'm not looking to pastor tomorrow, I need to get some education first) It's not God I'm worried about so much as it is Baptist Pulpit Committees lol

I attended HAC in 2004, and my sister and ex wife graduated in 04.

My ex wife and I are planning on getting remarried to each other after having been divorced for two+ years. I know that most Baptists believe that a divorced man shouldn't be a pastor because of the 'husband of one wife' statement in I Timothy. Do you think this applies to someone who has...

I've heard from more then one source that Liberty will (at least on a probationary basis) accept an undergrad degree from Andersonville.
