NewMy take
I’m not well educated on SBC governing documents, but it appears that Greear named churches before there was any set of clear rules agreed upon by the SBC as a whole. I think he was right to name bad apples like Bolivar Baptist and its “pastor” Dickie Amyx, but he should have simply named offensive behaviors and invited the SBC as a whole to come up with best practices where failure could result in exclusion from the SBC.
