If by synod you mean church council, then I suppose you are right. But if you mean by the presbytery form of government where a centralized body governs all local churches within its jurisdiction then you are once again mistaken.One of the pillars of the baptist is the autonomy of the local church. They would never submit themselves to such church polity as the one you prescribe. Otherwise they would not be Baptists. A convention is nothing more than a club. There are benefits to being perks the church gets for being part of it. There is no hierachy like the presbyterian form of government. The only thing that the churches who left will suffer is the perks that came along with being part of the convention. But if you want to believe otherwise, then it makes no difference to me. Maybe you would stop complaining about Baptists not having no accountability now since most Baptists churches are part of one form of convention or other. You can't complain about them not having a presbytery and then make a 360 and say that they do have one. |

R. K. Borill wrote: To My Calvinist Brethren, Ok. This is getting too funny. The mental picture I have is of three girls and a boy: Mary, Jane, and Yamil. Mary is upset at Yamil and instead of talking to Yamil directly, she tells Jane, "Jane, tell Yamil that..."lol To the rest, of the post I say: Ha! You may want to rephrase the original post that you gave me. You can either ask one question at a time or do not phrase it as if you are trying to answer your own question and asking me whether I agree with your answer. What is faith? According to Hebrews 11:1 I believe faith is a sincere belief and dependence on the promise of God based on objective revelation that moves one to a positive response. I hope that suffices. |

Then maybe you should be honest enough to state: "I do not like your answer," or maybe "Can you clarify your answer?"But to state that I did not answer is quite disingeneous in your part. If you do not like a "yes" or "no" answer then do not ask a "yes" or "no" question. God states what he means and means what he states. I hate to break it to you but "calling" does not equal "salvation." The only dictionary that would define it as such would be the one found in the F_anciful L_and of the Calvinist. Once again you fall into your zealous trap of fabricating meaning to words that do not exist anywhere except within your own theological system. It's not as hard as you would like it to be. |

For someone who is suppose to shun me, you sure can't resist responding to me.Do not worry. I understand that I am irrisistible. I Corinthians 1:26-28 has nothing to do with salvation, let alone unconditional election. Salvation has nothing to do with fools and wise. God saves both. Read it for yourself. R. K. Borill wrote: Yamil has failed to answer the question except with more evidence of his being confused. Some more intellectual dishonesty. You must've conveniently missed the part when I said:"No. It is not so with me. But yes, I agree with your analysis, although you did not even answer your own question." And that's the way the cookie crumbles. |
