Hello to all, glad to have found an Independent Baptist Forum. Just by way of introduction I have always been either a member of an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church, with the exception of one Southern Baptist Church, and am currently now seeking another fellowship due to changes in my current home church (preaching style of Pastor has changed from more expository to dramatic approach, congregational singing to more "specials," and to be honest, it just seems as if it is being run like a business now). I don't usually provide this much info but on the last forum it seems some members think one needs to "socialize" before getting into Doctrinal Discussion and Debate, so just getting it out of the way that while I love to make new friends, I am not here to make friends, I am here to seek out serious discussion concerning God's Word. That is my passion. So if I come across as fanatical, lol, it may be that I am.
One other issue I would raise is, in regards to being an Independent Fundamental Baptist, every fellowship I have ever been a member of understood that Revelation is progressive, and that there are differing dispensations of God, yet, many of the Baptists I have spoken with in recent years fail to distinguish between those Ages. What in the world is going on? Even in the Southern Baptist Church I attended it was understood that there is a difference between the Ministry of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament Economies and the Ministry of the Holy Spirit in this Age.
But, I realize that there are differing beliefs, even among Independent Fundamental Baptists, so looking forward to getting to know some of you, and sharing perspectives in regards to Christian Doctrine.
God bless.
