Many of the IFB churches in our area have started to become "less than kosher" in their stands. I mean, many were bad before, teaching the views of men as the doctrines of the Bible, but many nowadays are truly going off the wall. I have had several people tell me that they left an IFB church in the area just a few months back to visit other IFB churches, and they all have seemed to become "teachers of the LAW" and not teachers of grace. One lady wore slacks to a Wednesday evening service, and the assistant pastor's wife pulled the woman aside after the service and called her out on "looking and dressing like a tramp!" That was the final straw for this couple, and they joined the largest church in our area...World Outreach Church. World Outreach IS NOT IFB...it's non-denominational. Pastor Allen Jackson is a very good speaker. The couple feel "right at home" there, and are getting involved slowly but surely. They weren't allowed to become involved in the IFB churches because the husband had been divorced, and the wife had had two children out of wedlock before she married her husband. What is this wolrd, and the IFB churches coming to? So legalistic that they remind me of the Pharisees of Christs day!
