Hi. I will try to be brief. Im posting here for a couple of reason. First my wife of nearly 35 yrs and I are thinking about attending a baptist church of for the first time.(we have been sporadic at best with our church attendance over the years). The second reason is I was doing some research and read about the Baptist belief of Soul Liberty (or competency). Also separation of church and state.
So the question is are these concepts still a core belief in most Baptist churches?
It is a very big part of the appeal of the church we are thinking about attending.
Both my wife and I are very saddened about the constant bickering about church doctrine. We both know people (including our own adult children) who simply don't talk about their faith or have abandoned formal religious practice due to the perceived animosity and anger among Christians.
(I welcome and appreciate any answers, however I won't be commenting further as to not be seen to be debating or disagreeing.)
Thanks.
