Personally, I don't think a Baptist church has to have the moniker "Baptist" in the name if the doctrine is there. I know in one church we helped start years ago we used the name of the area it was started in as a "Community Church" with a line underneath that read "A Baptist congregation." It worked quite well for several years until they got a pastor from BJU a who was charismatic in belief. He caused a division in the church and they suffered a split. The whole church, both sides of the split were absorbed into two different congregations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this particular case, one of the two groups ended up with a very good Bible church while the other ended up joining with a b AoG church. It's sad to see so many churches splitting and parts of them going to unsound doctrine in churches that don't have any sound doctrinal practices.

True, the church you mention many of them It’s all about growth and numbers around here, where I live. Lots of entertainment they do have family and children programs. It’s a very huge church. I will not like to see their budget. I imagine the tithe and offerings will have to be at least $50,000 a week just to meet the basic needs. I’m not saying they’re not administering their finances well, it’s just too huge for me. I think I may be getting off-topic again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
