Southern Baptists to open their ranks to missionaries who speak in tongues

[David R. Brumbelow]

The Southern Baptist Convention, while basically non-charismatic, has no “official” stated position on a private prayer language.

This policy change really just moves the IMB back to where they were before about 9 or 10 years ago, but well after the Conservative Resurgence.

There is a big difference between this policy change and liberalism.

I was very involved in, and supportive of, the SBC Conservative Resurgence.

David, Sorry if I wasn’t clear about that. I’m not equating continuationism with liberalism, just reflecting on the fact that liberalism originally impacted the convention via foreign missions, and it would seem that the charismatic movement is doing the same.
