I think this was a very needed post. It is not time for Independent Baptists to shy away, it is a time for us to faithfully proclaim God's Word and let our light shine by living the principles we see there. Thank you again for taking a stand!Jacob and Viola Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02121192290535193865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947447320837083250.post-59110301861383290742012-01-12T19:25:38.130-05:002012-01-12T19:25:38.130-05:00Very well expressed.

You couldn't have said it any bet...Wow, Sarah! You couldn't have said it any better. Completely agree with you. I am an INDEPENDENT Fundamental Baptist and the church we have chosen to go to does not have all of the "abuse" in it that people assume all IFB churches take part in. If and when it ever does, we will see it as an abuse of the Pastor's authority and misuse of Scripture or whatever caused it and we will find another church. <br /><br />Thank you for taking the time and having the courage to write this!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03277740633375777499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947447320837083250.post-42287725494276476562012-01-11T13:44:16.713-05:002012-01-11T13:44:16.713-05:00I am in agreement with you.

Hopefully, we grow in the Lord and the Holy Spirit controls our hearts and minds. None of us are immune to sin. I have been in IFB churches since my salvation. I have been in good as well as bad, but the Lord has taught me many things in both. If there is true abuse, the laws of our land will take care of the offenders. Report it. If it is gossip spread by disgruntled people, confront them in a biblical manner, pray for them, and keep serving the Lord with gladness.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515404295454415321noreply@blogger.com
