Yes! There's a bit of difference between what Franklin Graham actually practices and what churches like Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh and Myers Park Baptist Church actually practice.LOL at that article using blanket terminology for Baptist Churches. There is no more ecumenical Christian denomination. If you had a group of 10 Baptist Churches you'd probably have 13 different theologies.
In my best Buford "Bubba" Blue voice....Yes! There's a bit of difference between what Franklin Graham actually practices and what churches like Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh and Myers Park Baptist Church actually practice.
Another example is Mt. Olive University, which is associated with the Free Will Baptist denomination. It started as Mt. Olive Junior College. Thanks to the leadership of Burkette Raper, Mt. Olive Junior College (which changed into Mt. Olive College and later Mt. Olive University) firmly resisted all efforts to transform it into a school where its science courses strictly conformed to Biblical stories written by persons with no meaningful understanding or appreciaion of how geological, meteorological, medical, or evolutionary processes actually work.
I grew up believing that religion was not set of principles that describe how the world operates, but a set of principles that can be used to help persons cope with how the world operates. As in, I don't see religion as being particularly useful in analyzing "how" and "why" questions, but very useful in working through the "what now" questions.
My favorite Baptist joke...If you had a group of 10 Baptist Churches you'd probably have 13 different theologies.
Most every church league softball player I ever knew loved their beer. Not just game days either.What's the difference between the Baptist softball team and the Methodist softball team?
The Baptists change out of their jerseys before going to the bar afterward.
