Members MountainChristian Posted June 11, 2014 Members Share Posted June 11, 2014 With 5,001 registered messengers and 3,553 ballots cast, Floyd received 1,834 votes, or 51.62 percent. Kim, pastor of GlOBal Mission Church of Greater Washington in Silver Spring, Md., received 1,446 votes or 40.70 percent while Moore, pastor of New Salem Baptist Church in Hustonville, Ky., received 210 votes or 5.91 percent. Moore is the current second vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention. I watched a little show about how they vote in a new Pope. Reading the Southern Baptist do the same thing was a shock.

Members Miss Daisy Posted June 11, 2014 Members Share Posted June 11, 2014 do they make the smokestack smoke too? I'm sure the choosing of the SBC doesn't have as many people on pins and needles as a new pope does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Arbo Posted June 12, 2014 Members Share Posted June 12, 2014 The Southern Baptist Convention is now compared to the Catholic Church? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted June 12, 2014 Members Share Posted June 12, 2014 I pray the new president of the SBC will help steer them in the right direction. It was good to see the SBC take a stand against the transgender rage and against sex change operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members candlelight Posted June 12, 2014 Members Share Posted June 12, 2014 The Southern Baptist Convention is now compared to the Catholic Church? Really? I could be wrong, Arbo, but I believe IFB's look at the Southern Baptist Convention as a hierarchy much like the RCC. Not to that extent, of course; however the SBC has a chain of command, where the IFB answers to the Lord Jesus Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jeffrey Posted June 12, 2014 Members Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yes. Yes. The vote. Acts 1:26 isn't a vote. You mean they gambled for it like they did with Jesus's clothes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators HappyChristian Posted June 12, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 12, 2014 We vote for pastors. Of course, that isn't for an entire bunch of churches, but still we vote. MountainChristian, out of curiosity, how does your church select pastors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Arbo Posted June 12, 2014 Members Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yes. Yes. The vote. Acts 1:26 isn't a vote. So what? It is a statement of what they did, not teaching of how it should be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members candlelight Posted June 12, 2014 Members Share Posted June 12, 2014 Both answer to the same Christ. I agree with that; however the SBC has a hierarchy whereas the IFB doesn't. Many IFB churches were once SBC churches and pulled away because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainChristian, out of curiosity, how does your church select pastors? I think our pastor has been there for over thirty years, and they done it differently. Preachers came to the church and took turns preaching. The people watched and listened to whom God was blessing the most. After a while the other preachers slowly stopped coming and after some more time the men told him they could see he was meant to be the pastor.

Arbo, the Southern Baptist are going down hill. Yes losing members but much more importantly losing God's power. They used to have a higher standards but they have voted that away.
