BBFI President aligns with SBC

By Jim on Fri, 02/17/17
Fundamentalism & Evangelicalism
SBC
BBFI

The shared vision of transforming lives and communities with the Gospel has led a historically independent church whose pastor serves as president of the Baptist Bible Fellowship International to become a cooperating church with the Missouri Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention. Eddie Lyons, pastor of High Street Baptist Church in Springfield, Mo., told Missouri Baptists’ Pathway newsjournal, “We didn’t feel like we needed to sustain an artificial separation from the people in this town and state that are so much like us in participating in the same mission. “We have the same heart, the same calling.”

the move is irrelevant to me. The FBFI’s was based in the Northern Baptist Convention. The BBFI is an offshoot of the SBC.

Wally good or bad being that your FBFI member. Yea or Nay.

Whatever your view on this, the fact is they joined a group (the SBC) that believes in the Fundamentals of the Faith.
