| Legalized
Abortion |
| Generally, Baptists fall
on the pro-life side of this issue. However, this ongoing argument
continues to be a great source of debate between them and the U.S. Supreme
Court. |
| Which
Version of the Bible? |
| The latter half of the 20th
century saw a tremendous increase in the number of English Bible versions
and revisions. Some Baptists have determined to take a "King James
Only " stance which has caused division in their ranks. |
| Devisive
Baptists |
| How do those who are not
yet saved view those of our persuasion who would rather fight other Baptists
than concentrate their energy on winning the lost to Jesus? |
| A
Baptist By Any Other Name |
| Churches
across the United States are dropping the name "Baptist" while insisting
that they remain 100% faithful and true to our doctrines and distinctives. |
| Bible
Churches Are Not Baptist Churches |
| A look at the doctrines of
baptism and church government clears away the misconception that the two
are the same. |
| Creation
vs. Evolution |
| From the Scopes Monkey Trial
to the realization that tens of thousands of species have died out, it
is the theory of evolution that continues to be on trial. |
| The
Error of Legalism |
| Some Baptists demand adherence
to certain "convictions." Could it be that they are right or have
they simply spiritualized their own preferences? Of even greater
concern, is legalism simply a modern day form of Phariseeism? |
| The
Music Controversy |
| Not only do some Baptists
reject modern popular music and dancing but they also refuse to allow anything
other than traditional hymns in their worship services. |
| Political
Involvement |
| How deeply involved should
churches be in attempting to effect governmental policy and law?
Could it be that attempting to legislate righteous to unregenerate people
is a serious misconception? |
| Outlawing
Prayer & The Ten Commandments |
| Did removing prayer and the
Ten Commandments result in the demise of the both educational and moral
standards in our country's public school system or present Baptists with
a new challenge? |
| Conservatives
vs. Liberals |
| At what point does a Bible-believing
Christian break fellowship with another Christian who also claims to believe
the Bible but has different views? |
| Who's
In Charge Here? |
| Is the pastor truly the leader
of the local church or is it the "Board of Deacons" who direct the business
of the congregation? After many centuries of struggling with this
issue, it is still a hot button issue amongst the Baptists. |
