I read where some people have joined the Summit who were clueless that it is a Southern Baptist Church.

    The position of SBC president is " largely a symbolic, visionary leadership role—SBC churches are autonomous, and much of the major denominational decision-making happens within independent SBC agencies."
    My son attended there for awhile but it was to far to drive. Believe me when I say they do not function like your typical baptist church right down to the "holy" jeans worship leader.

Of course you don't hear tongues in a lot of Pentecostal and Charismatic today anyway.
    no wagging of tongues cuts down on the gossip...

    this is not why he's getting the boot.

    His behaviour and "counsel" to a woman who'd been raped was reprehensible.
