    Southern Baptist adding Nicene Creed to Baptist Faith and Message

    "Some" would be correct, but they tend to fly under the radar to avoid sanction. With the whole Rick Warren thing a couple of years ago, women's ordination has become the big target again as they were in the 80s.

    Southern Baptist adding Nicene Creed to Baptist Faith and Message

    True. The SB's have been diligent about weeding out LGBT friendly churches. Most that would be sympathetic left for the splinter Cooperative Baptist Fellowship years ago.

    Southern Baptist adding Nicene Creed to Baptist Faith and Message

    Nope. I can't count how many times I heard sermons as a young man declaring how "Baptists are not creedal".

    Were you disappointed by your Christmas service?

    As a rule, I try to avoid Christmas and Easter services. In way too many churches, they tend to be dog and pony shows for the ones who only show up on those two holidays. Also not a fan of Christmas Eve services. I hate standing up and holding a drippy candle (even with protectors) while...

    AOG, Most Popular? No, just the "greatest"

    It goes back at least to the late 70s when Kenneth Copeland was on the rise. Back then it laid equal emphasis on health and wealth.

    Baptism of the Holy Ghost

    In our neck of the woods, we have a number of churches who are "Independent Assemblies of God". Apparently it's a spinoff group of churches.

    Southern Baptists and Once Saved Always Saved

    Corrected some spelling for you...Armenian is an Oriental Orthodox church. Arminian is the non-Calvinistic theology. At any rate, if they're going to shed the Reformed theology, they could go all the way and become Free Will Baptists!

    Missionary Baptists

    The "portable pre-packaged" Communion was initially developed by the Southern Baptists for use in mission settings. I'd used them as a truckstop chaplain. During the pandemic and following, their use has mushroomed with other manufacturers getting in the game. The quality's improved since...

    Missionary Baptists

    More of an overall "evangelical" thing, not limited to Baptists.

    "Elon Musk Just Gave The Strongest Hint Yet That He Might Actually Buy MSNBC"

    If that's all you really want, why can't Musk buy a number of stations in major markets and use them as repeaters for Voice of America? The Feds already run it, the editorial policy is relatively center-right, all you'd really need is a transmitter that would send the signal on AM and FM in...

    The overuse of 'fascism' by the Left is a dangerous game

    I think you stated it more correctly with "specific".

    Trump announces year-long celebration for U.S.'s 250th birthday

    As a graduate of my high school's class of 1976 (our tassels were red, white, and blue instead of the school colors), I am likewise finding it difficult to believe that much time has passed!

    The overuse of 'fascism' by the Left is a dangerous game

    I would argue that "socialism" has been overused by the Right every bit as much as "fascism" by the Left. Many of these political terms are far more nuanced in actual meaning than their current usage in political discourse.

    Pardon Pro-Lifers, January 6 Political Prisoners, & Other Victims of Dem Lawfare

    Whatever the reason, Jack Smith did file a motion in court today to vacate the case against Trump. From other accounts I've read, he took this action because like anything else involving lawyers it takes a lot of time to do anything, even if it's just throwing in the towel. Whether or not...
