What does it mean to be Baptist? This is a question that I believe needs to be discussed, so I started a substack called "The Radical Baptist." I'll be posting a variety of articles that intend to answer that question. Read my thesis article here: theradicalbaptist.substack.c…

It's really not complicated--BLM/CRT/Southern Poverty Law racism has no place in the church. Hitler/Patriot Front/Curse of Ham racism has no place in the church.
It's almost like God does not judge by outward appearances or by group designation but by the heart.

A Baptist history that starts in the 1600s is no baptist history to me.

Somebody should really write a book on Calvinism.
Preferably a young man, right out of seminary, that has pastored for fewer than 2 years.

Baptists aren't protestants. 1. We didn't protest; we were always outside. 2. The protestants killed us.

It wasn't. This lie has gone on for too long.
Yes, the debate over if a slave owner could be a missionary spurred to debate, but the theological divide between north and south had been brewing for a while.

The Southern Baptist Convention was founded to defend slavery.
Forgive me if I don't trust them to decide who God can call into ministry.
The embarrassing part is being somehow related into a community of faith. People who have never felt the touch of Jesus want nothing to do with a faith movement that marginalizes women.

That's why you have the Sandy Creek Baptist Association, which in the 1830s would not allow any church with slave owning church members into its association, yet was one of the associations to join the SBC at its founding.

Baptists have always believed this. This should be so normal to your church that you don't even need to talk to the baptized person before presenting them at your next business meeting.
A church shouldn’t baptize anyone that it doesn’t take into membership in order to make them a disciple of Jesus Christ by teaching them to obey all the He commanded.

I 100% agree with this doctrine and probably preach it.
But the egalitarians had the best response to this, that can't get out of my head, in that this isn't how umbrellas work lol

Hot take: No, you don't. You don't want someone in Nashville reading this tweet and thinking "this guy sounds quarrelsome," or someone in Atlanta saying a socially awkward pastor isn't hospitable. I know for a fact that no one wants a definitive statement on divorce.

I am grateful for my time at #sbc26 in Orlando. I only wish we as Southern Baptists could speak as clearly and decisively on men who are disqualified to serve as pastors as we do on whether women are qualified to preach. Only one of those is a real problem in the SBC.

If you want that, you want to be Presbyterian. If you want the convention to look at the qualifications of pastors, you don't want autonomy. Churches decide if someone is qualified or not.

All the TUA says is that we don't want to cooperate with a church that says a woman is qualified. Just like we don't want to cooperate with a church that harbors racist ideologies, LBGTQ-affirming beliefs, or that covers up sexual abuse.

How can that be the case when it's shameful for women to speak in church? (1 Cor 14:35)
God calls women to preach and to lead. Even when the church stands in the way of that call.
