[While no official, universal name change has yet been approved, the SBC has informally encouraged their constituent member congregations to consider removing the “Southern” term from the denomination’s title or, instead, replacing the full title with the new “Great Commission Baptists” title.   As will be demonstrated evidentially below, though, names are not always theologically — but instead, often politically — driven.]

“[In 2018] SBC elites wooed Texas celebrity pastor Matt Chandler to stick with the SBC despite his views expressed to star Baptist pastor John Piper and others that he finds conservative evangelicals and Southern Baptists to be ‘fools’ and ‘morons’…   Platform controllers at the Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville [in 2021] thwarted black Southern Baptist best-selling, award-winning author and expert on race Carol Swain when she tried to speak against CRT…  [T]he president of the flagship SBC seminary Albert Mohler reversed himself to support Trump in 2020.  In response, woker SBC elites successfully tapped unknown pastor [Ed] Litton to scuttle Mohler’s candidacy for the SBC presidency.  Denominational resources and mobilization of the vast SBC bureaucracy were deployed on behalf of Litton, the wokest candidate in the field.  As president, white EIC-backed Litton declined to invite newly elected un-woke black SBC first vice president Lee Brand to take part in a highly publicized denominational conversation on racial reconciliation.

CoViD-19 Completes Liberal Takeover of Southern Baptist Convention

[That article — by far the most comprehensive exposé on the SBC’s descent into  apostasy  available on the Internet — cites dozens of previously published articles (many of which were originally posted on this page) written (by  this professor ) as the SBC began and then never slowed its steady apostatic decline into biblical irrelevance.  In response to that decline, the biblically faithful  remnant  within the SBC have created yet another American denomination; the  Conservative Baptist Network .  While there are a few recent  examples  of at least a partial return to biblical faithfulness (see, also, the end of the Seminaries section below), what follows on this page are several dozen additional references tracing — in more or less reverse historical order (i.e. the most recent events appearing nearer the top of each topical section on the page below) — the SBC’s decline from many different perspectives.]

In the last few years… influences from within and without [the SBC] have begun to weaken the SBC’s resolve to conform to Scripture rather than public opinion…  Rogue churches began hiring female preachers.  Individual SBC professors and leaders promoted conferences that introduced compromising language on LGBT ethics.  And the 2019 Resolutions Committee transformed a local pastor’s anti-CRT proposal into a declaration that explicitly endorses it as a ‘useful analytical tool‘ for understanding ‘systemic’ racism.  That’s to say nothing of the former head of the SBC lobbying arm [a.k.a. Russell Moore, formerly of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission] routinely politicizing the organization by excoriating Trump voters before leaving [in May, 2021] in a storm of leaks and intrigue.

Pro-life Christians should promote good and limit evil insofar as possible given current political realities, but the Southern Baptist Convention just passed [at the 2021 meeting] a resolution that turns that truth on its head.  The resolution, forwarded by abolitionists, calls the SBC to be a ‘prophetic voice to abolish abortion‘ immediately and without exceptions.  Incremental strategies  – the resolution declares – are nothing more than ‘regulatory guidelines‘ for determining ‘when, where, why, and how‘ adults may intentionally kill innocent pre-born children.  In other words, all pro-life work to date has done nothing more than promote evil.  Any incremental strategy – rather than immediate abolition – is suddenly a shameful act of which leaders must confess, lament, and repent because it makes them complicit in abortion. Such a charge is scandalous, and factually untrue.

Grim as the [Bostokdecision  is, I had to laugh when I saw [SBC] church leaders caterwauling about Bostock.  Last December [2019] I got fired by a Southern Baptist seminary because, the provost said, denominational leaders at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, [formerly] headed by Russell Moore, had complained to him about my frank criticisms of the gay community.  Two years in a row, the resolutions committee of the Southern Baptist Convention sank my resolutions.  One would have protected ex-gay ministry from state interference.  The other meant to protect whistleblowers and survivors of sex abuse from retaliation…  Baptists don’t realize that their denomination basically fell in line with the bans on reparative therapy before Obergefell had even passed.  From that point on, the SBC operated as if a ruling like Bostock had already been imposed on them.  People viewed as too staunch on LGBT issues have been sidelined or kicked out of SBC entities.

Al Mohler:

Many Baptists debate what Mohler — president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary since 1993 — truly believes since… [h]is nuances seem to allow for multiple interpretations [though definitely  not  always ].  He was [originally] a NeverTrump [which  changed  in 2020] but [he] guards his reputation as a conservative.  The problem is that Mohler has been the mentor of virtually everyone running SBC entities today.  And the Baptist entities — including six seminaries, the LifeWay publishing company, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the international and North American mission boards, and the executive committee — all show massively alarming trends toward the left.

[That report was later  denied  (of course) by SEBTS but some ancillary, relevant information about the seminary and this particular alleged incident are revealing.]

SEBTS’s statement that they never intimidate students for political beliefs & other beliefs outside the scope of the BF&M is false…  SEBTS’s curriculum has shifted left.  It did when I was a student.  Hermeneutics was dropped as a requirement for the MDiv program I was in.  A degree in ‘Justice and Social Ethics [a.k.a.  Social Justice ] was added in the undergrad courses in ‘Wealth and Poverty,’ ‘Social Justice and Race Relations,’ and ‘Environmental Responsibility‘….  This is why I said the story from Todd Starns ‘sounds accurate’…  There is a general anti-Trump sentiment on campus.
In the Fall 2017 semester alone there were THREE Anti-Trump… statements either originating in or supported by SEBTS administrators and professors…  There was not ONE statement [from faculty or admin] against Obama or liberation theology in 8 years of Obama…  The mother could very well have been wrong about her son directly being asked to take off his hat….  BUT, what she is not wrong about is that there IS an anti-Trump sentiment on campus.  There IS a push to liberalize curriculum.  There IS a culture of guilt manipulation against opposition to [so-called] social justice‘.

Russell Moore let down the pro-life movement by opposing Trump

https://www.christianpost.com/amp/anti-trump-evangelicals-let-pro-life-movement-down-activist-says.html

… &

Fueled by culturally accommodationist language such as the repeated use of the phrase ‘safe spaces,’ [Russel] Moore publicly shied away from activist or political action and instead advocated for a distinct separation of the Gospel from any political party…  The direction Moore [and David] French  are walking is not simply traditional evangelicalism, but a form of cultural accommodation dressed as convictional religion.  The result is a religious respectability that promotes national unity, liberalism, and wokeism under the rhetorical guise of love for neighbor…  [T]here is little doubt that their biggest support is now coming from those significantly to their left politically.

Trump appointed 3 pro-life Supreme Court justices, and all 3 of them voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Look at the actions of National Review’s David French.  Not the words.  The actions.  He did everything possible to prevent Trump from making those 3 nominations.

David French is ‘disquieted‘ about the death of Roe v. Wade

https://www.christianpost.com/voices/david-french-is-disquieted-about-the-death-of-roe.html

[French is disquieted about the death of a Supreme Court decision that legalized — nationwide — the murder of unborn children in their own mothers’ wombs and he actively and repeatedly campaigned against the only President who ever said he would — and then did — appoint justices who would overturn it.  Yet French identifies as a “Christian.”  Christ, however, is  not deceived  by French’s hypocrisy.]

This call from Moore is hardly surprising because it exhibits the same ‘Never-Trump’ tunnel vision, hatred, and dearth of documentation that we have come to expect from him in politics.

Beth Moore:

[The cited articles in this section were all published prior to her public departure from the SBC (and their retail and publishing outlet Lifeway, which still sells her many products (because she has been their biggest money maker), after nearly three decades of official affiliation with the denomination.  After reading the citations below, it should be no surprise that Beth  joined  the  Anglican church “. ]

“[Beth Moore] opposed Trump vocally on social media, and she left the SBC less than two months after Trump left office [during the grassroots denominational backlash which followed]…  The direction [she is] walking is not simply traditional evangelicalism, but a form of cultural accommodation dressed as convictional religion.  The result is a religious respectability that promotes national unity, liberalism, and wokeism under the rhetorical guise of love for neighbor…  [T]here is little doubt that [her] biggest support is now coming from those significantly to [her] left politically.

[This article — written prior to most of the material featured on this page — was relevant to Southern Baptists when their denomination was still biblically faithful.]

Southern Baptists must decide whether they are satisfied with a ‘presumable encroachment of Calvinism’ in their leadership and their seminary graduates.

[This despite the fact that the first — and still the most cited — Baptist creed   acknowledges  the biblical reality of so-called  Calvinism“.]

[Go figure.]
