First, this discussion needs to be seen as being limited to a very small percentage of people attending churches these days. Think of this: many Baptist churches have changed their names and no longer have Baptist in them; they are called "Christ Journey," "Christ Fellowship," or something similar. To me this means they are no longer teaching the historical beliefs that Baptists have held to. Not that they are any different from other churches---I believe 90 percent of the people sitting in pews every Sunday could not explain to a visitor what the distinct beliefs are of their group, besides a few basic ones--We only use the KJV, We don't baptise infants (we 'dedicate them to the Lord'), we do full immersion baptism, etc.I did think it was unusual for Baptists to believe at all in Calvinism since the latter group rejected any secret fellowships like the Freemasonry, while Baptists have left their members free to join and continue belonging to them. In simple terms, it meant, if you were a Freemason, you would join the First Baptist Church of Anytown, USA, not the First Presbyterian Church. Not that it would make much difference in your daily life, since the distinct and historical teachings of each group are not being taught in either place. |
