Aiming to amend the SBC Constitution to include Art. 3.1.6: "Affirms, appoints, or employs only men as any kind of pastor or elder as qualified by Scripture."sbcamendment.orgJoined April 2023
Rosaria Butterfield is right. Words matter. Southern Baptists, we should not change the biblical word pastor to mean that women can serve in the office. Rather, we should hold to God’s definition of the word and office as limited to men as qualified by Scripture.…
Southern Baptists, our response to women pastors should not be to shrug off violations of Scripture, but to vocally support God’s design for the pastorate in Scripture. Read this from @jasonkeithallen: cbmw.org/2024/04/02/adv…
"Adopting the Amendment in June 2024 allows Southern Baptists to address the theological, anthropological, and ecclesiological problem of female pastors decisively, for the good of all in our denomination." -@MichaelCarlinochristoverall.com/article/concis…
1/🧵Thankful for @calebmorell's work here. Today it seems easily (or willfully) forgotten that the Baptist principle of autonomy is like an old West saloon door – it swings equally in both directions.

As the 2024 Southern Baptist Convention approaches, some are arguing that the @sbcamendment violates local church autonomy.
Is this how Baptists have historically understood the powers of associations? How does church autonomy relate to associational accountability?
THREAD 🧵🧵
There aren't five reasons to vote against the Law Amendment. There isn't even one reason--at least not in the essay recently published at The Baptist Review.
I explain at the link below.

Let’s be honest, calling a woman as a pastor is “departing from the common view” and is a radical “divergence of belief.” For the maintenance of our message and mission as a Convention we must call our churches to faithfulness. #AdopttheAmendment#SBC24
There is really only one reason why I will vote to support the Law Amendment:
It affirms what the Bible affirms.
It really is that simple. Arguments about confessionalism, precedent, consequences, and the like are distractions from a more central question: Does the Bible…
@sbcamendment agrees with you (and you should vote for it)! 👇
"In short, this proposed new amendment 6 is not at the expense of, nor as a cover to avoid, a consistent application of the Scriptural qualifications that men must meet to be pastors in SBC churches."
From the paper…

Dear SBC, let’s not become like the COE, who allowed for female pastors in 1994 and then allowed for blessing same-sex couples in 2023. Let’s remain faithful on the pastoral office. Come to Indy to adopt @sbcamendment @ #SBC24.

Calling a woman as a pastor does not express “Kinship in faith and polity,” nor is it “speaking one another’s language.” Being united in the biblical understanding of the male-only pastorate is important to our cooperation.
