The International Mission Board is taking actions that some think are signs that Jerry Rankin is being encouraged to resign.
Fundamentalist news reports say the North American Mission Board has failed to meet expectations since it was formed in 1997.
A SBC seminary professor says the Baptist Faith is "under assault" from within and says "Hyper-Calvinism . . . is becoming a real problem in the Southern Baptist Convention."
The last time there was so much turmoil in the SBC, moderates were being pushed out of the convention. The moderates are gone. Fundamentalists are fighting with each other.
Now the game is to see who can claim to be most "conservative." They never have been much interested in being Christ-like. That would be too "liberal."

Eternal Hostitlity is such an apt title for Clarkson's book. These people are always in combat mode until they become sharks eating each other is a frenzy of blood lust. Just study the life of J. Frank Norris.
Hi!
The sad thing is this: the rank and file SBC church member that is in the pew each Sunday and faithfully contributes, has no clue whatsoever of any turmoil within their own convention.
God Bless,
