Citing Progressive Drift, Two More Churches Leave the SBC in Last Week
In the last week, two more churches have voted to leave the SBC. The first is Pueblo West Baptist Church in Pueblo West, CO. They’ve been affiliated with the SBC since 1973, where for decades they’ve faithfully supported the Cooperative Program (11%), and their local association (3%.)
No longer.
Citing the SBC’s enchantment with “pragmatism” as the cause of leaving, they lament that “many in the Convention have consistently confirmed only lip service to the Scriptures being the “perfect treasure of divine instruction, the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried.”
One example of the unholy fruit grown from the deep roots of pragmatism in the SBC is the recent happenings with Rick Warren at the 2022 Annual Convention, writing:
“The applause of thousands of messengers in Anaheim heaped upon SBC Pastor Rick Warren just after
he rebuked the SBC for bickering about secondary issues. The bickering? The church Warren founded,
and where he was senior pastor until just recently, was rightfully being considered for being
disfellowshipped for defying Scripture, having recently ordained three women as pastors.
This was one more reflection of the many in the SBC who boast in minimal allegiance to Scripture for the
sake of numbers and approval of man. Warren has for 40 years been the godfather of Scripture-twisting
pragmatism. At a time when he should have been publicly rebuked, Warren was welcomed by
Convention leaders from the platform to speak, and his defiance lauded by thousands of Southern
Baptists.”
They also cite retaining the sodomy-celebrating Guidepost Solutions to instruct Christ’s church about sexual sins, concluding:
“Therefore, members at Pueblo West Baptist voted August 7, 2022, to immediately cease all giving to SBC entities and to terminate our affiliation with the Southern Baptist Convention at the national, state, and local levels. Taking no pleasure in making this decision, we hereby inform you of it. The members of Pueblo West Baptist Church.”
The second is First Southern Baptist Church of Waterford, CA. Senior Pastor Greg Perkins says that they voted Sunday evening to leave the SBC as well, citing its “drift away from solid biblical values and convictions” as the cause of their departure.
The exodus continues.
