Kudos to Wyman and Michelle Dobbs for refusing to buckle under pressure to resign from their service at the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. The Dobbs' formerly served at a church in Sallisaw, Oklahoma.
They are being pressured to resign for starting a church in Guinea that IMB officials say is not "Baptist" enough to meet their standards.
Mainstream Baptists have been saying for 25 years that the fundamentalist leadership of the SBC has been taking their crusade for doctrinal purity too far. This won't be the last example, it's just the latest.

I welcome Wyman and Michelle Dobbs to the club of IMB, SBC rejects. May they wear their firing as a badge of honour testifying to their committment to the Lordship of Jesus.
May God continue to guide them in obedience and provide for their earthly needs.

You know in the first century the Council of Jerusalem came to the conclusion that meddling in missions was stupid. They put some bare minimum rules in place and told people to follow God. If only the SBC would get that through their heads. Let the Holy Spirit work for Christ's sake.
