Do any of the various Baptist convetions, organizations, etc have an official position on what types of birth control are acceptable?
How can you have that statement, and not one on BC? doesn't that imply certain things?

Genesis 38:9 NIV
But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother's wife, he spilled his [just in case this is on the censored list, preemptive wash-my-mouth lol] on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother.

Sex is a gift from God, it is for procreation, but it is also for pleasure (inside of marriage). If it was only for procreation, then you could never have sex after she was pregnant, untill she became unpregnant.
But if you disagree, good luck in not having sex during pregnancy, since that would be a sin... in your eyes.
God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption.
Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God's unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and His church and to provide for the man and the woman in marriage the framework for intimate companionship, the channel of sexual expression according to biblical standards, and the means for procreation of the human race.
The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God's image. The marriage relationship models the way God relates to His people. A husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. He has the God-given responsibility to provide for, to protect, and to lead his family. A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. She, being in the image of God as is her husband and thus equal to him, has the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his helper in managing the household and nurturing the next generation.
Children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing and heritage from the Lord. Parents are to demonstrate to their children God's pattern for marriage. Parents are to teach their children spiritual and moral values and to lead them, through consistent lifestyle example and loving discipline, to make choices based on biblical truth. Children are to honor and obey their parents.

while I believe that birth control of any form is wrong and that sex is for procreation only.
