Why I Believe Saddleback Should Be Reinstated to the SBC

Saddleback Church was recently disfellowshipped from the SBC by its Executive Committee because it ordained three women as pastors in 2021; this in contradiction to scripture and to the Baptist Faith and Message 2000. Rick Warren wants Saddleback to be reinstated to the SBC at its annual meeting this June 11-12 by a vote of the messengers. This will likely surprise you, but I agree with Rick Warren. Saddleback should be reinstated to the SBC. Here's why.

The many churches within the SBC that are allowing women to preach, pastors plagiarizing other pastors, preaching a false prosperity Gospel, and Baptizing openly homosexual unrepentant sinners are the reasons our church withdrew from the SBC. It is blasphemy !

I met people from the SBC years ago. They appeared to be a bit more serious than the typical mainline churches which are generally 'social clubs' and "progressive". But already there were some concerns. And I personally think the 'church politics' are a symptom not the cause of the problem. It's not going to improve just for church administration ticking all the right boxes there.

[@jimc8613]

There is no hope for Rick Warren. Warren must be expelled from ministry in the SBC. If not, the cancer of his apostasy will internally destroy the denomination. It appears that the apostasy within the SBC has gotten to such a level that it is time to leave the SBC.

Add on to that trying to find a good church that has a passion to faithfully fulfill the Great Commission. In my area there are many good Christ centered, Bible believing churches, but none of them are concerned with proactively fulfilling the Great Commission. Nor, do they even attempt to train and equip the members, in their churches, to individually fulfill the Great Commission. They are all pretty much Christian country clubs and/or Church Bible schools. Nothing wrong with Christian fellowship and teaching Biblical doctrines to the members, but without doing what the local church is supposed to do- proactively evangelize- then those churches will ultimately die off.

Again, Pastor Stephen Furtick has a Master of Divinity Degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, just as Justin Peters has a Master of Divinity Degree from another Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The difference between posters here that listen to Justin Peters, and Stephen Furtick is the difference between a Dispensationalist, Cessationist, believing that All Sign Gifts ceased at the end of the Apostolic Age, (Scofield Reference Bible, Doctrine on the same pages as the Word of God), and a person that believes that Sign Gifts, we believe based on Ephesians 2:8,9, example, that the Gift of Faith is needed to be Born Again, so did D.L.

It seems to me that the SBC now puts more value in its size than it's integrity. A few years ago, my local denomination (Free Reformed Churches of Australia) disfellowshipped our mother denomination (Reformed Churches of the Netherlands) for this exact same theological liberalism. First they allowed a liberal interpretation of Genesis 1-11, and then they began to allow female ministers and homosexual relationships. It was not something we did with any joy, but we had no choice but to break fellowship with all of our previous sister churches after years of calling them to repentance. Now the conservative members of both the Dutch Reformed Church and Reformed Churches Netherlands are being forced to rebuild and reunite as conservative churches again. That is what the SBC needs to do. Get rid of as much bad leaven as possible and call them to repentance. If they are faithful, or if there are faithful members in those churches they will rejoin the fellowship, but leaving all that rot in the denomination will speed up it's demise.

[@Savedbygrace22]

Throw out the leaven indeed👍What surprises me is how much money churches send them and don’t pay attention or send any delegates to their convention to keep it true to scripture. Seems the members of the SBC have been asleep too long and are reaping their reward. Blessings to you and Godspeed in your efforts to remain a faithful church of Christ.

I appreciate you Justin, but many of us are trying to be consistent and biblical on both pastoral qualifications and using equal weights and measures, and allowing Saddleback back in to the convention isn't an option if we are going to be biblical.

[@karenbrozik7889]

Well said! I generally agree with you, Justin, but rather than reinstating Rick Warren, they need to reevaluate all the churches with women pastors. By letting him back in, what is that saying to the churches??

I don't think you got what Justin Peters was saying in total. I know his words but he was saying that if you (as the SBC) allow these other churches with women pastors in the SBC then allow Saddleback also. Of course, Peters was correct. How could you remove one church and allow others to do the same without removing them also. It was a "tongue in cheek" reproach to the SBC to POTENTIALLY be inconsistent at the upcoming meeting.

@@ClayOfTheMaster SDA? Seventh Day Adventists? Absolutely not. That is a cult fraught with false propesy, fraudulent beginnings, false doctrines, legalistic requirements and restrictive governing practices which lead to the conclusion that the Adventist religion is not orthodox Christianity. At all. It operates as a cult-like organization founded on the teaching of false prophets and holds to views contrary to the plain teaching of scripture. Though the Seventh-Day Adventist church may count many true Christians among its ranks, those believers have been deceived and are being mistaught concerning the Bible, salvation, eternity and the Christian life. Therefore, we strongly recommend any believer caught up in Adventism to flee this false church and seek for true Christian fellowship elsewhere, preferably in a church that holds to orthodox, biblical truth. Finally, it's no coincidence that Adventism was founded at about the same time in history and in the same place as three other false churches with similar distorted teaching: Mormonism, Christian Science, and Jehovah's Witnesses This pattern suggests that Satan was at work at one time to establish these false churches in an effort to confuse and mislead new believers during the Great Awakening period of North American Christianity. Together, these four false religions continue to deceive many today. If you want sound teachings, by scripture alone, find a reformed church.

I am not surprised that many churches are going "there own way." If you can ignore one part of scripture, what is to keep you from ignoring other parts?

My denomination allows a female pastor. There was no one else to do it at the time. She had the credentials and was ordained after her years at bible college. It was a small congregation so she took no salary. She kept things going for a few years, then resigned to do missions. Now a man is filling the position.

Sunday is NOT the “ The Lord’s Day” read your Bible. Genesis 2:2, Exodus 20 and on and on. The book of Acts alone talks about the apostles keeping the sundown Friday to sundown Saturday over 80 times! The Roman Catholic Church changed the solemnity of Sabbath to Sun-day. It’s a false day of worship, a counterfeit. Remember the 4th Commandment ( it’s a command) starts with remember! Satan wants worship! Not one Bible verse say to now worship on Sunday. It actually says God’s word is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow! Don’t believe the lying RCC that says they found “ new scripture “ supporting the change of the Sabbath! They are lying!

Quite frankly the SBC should have been disbanded a long time ago,the problem being that in having such an organization of 1 type of denomination man's rules eventually supercede God's commandments. There may have been a time in which such organizing was temporarily necessary, but the evidence over the decades show that man's rule has pushed God off the throne and none are willing to call sin sin.

I have a question for Mr. Peters. Is a state marriage license valid in God's eyes? Are we married in God's eyes? We attended a ceremony but it wasn't just us, there was no family present or anyone we knew. And on top of that it was ordained by a clerk who married also same sex people that night, basically it was a huge ceremony with many couples standing in front of the courthouse all together. So I'm not sure we're even married in Gods eyes. I'd rather my fiance and I do it through our church we've now been attending, biblically sound church with our families and vows and ceremony. Not sure. Any input would be helpful by Mr. Peters or anyone. Thank you all and God Bless you.

I wish there was no such thing as "lead pastor". The last pastor we had was part of the "seeker-friendly" movement. I wasn't a member at the time he was voted on. Had I been a member, I would have voted against him. I was convinced it was a "business" decision rather than biblical. I suffered through agony while he was here. I was so glad when the elders and deacons asked him to resign. Now we have a sound pastor who is taking his time to make important changes that need to take place. I'm still waiting for the word "lead" to be dropped from "pastor". I just can't stand "seeker-friendly" nonsense! 😒🙄

God has given leadership authority to men in the church and in the family and that is where it belongs. They have a natural authority, even a deeper voice, that women do not have. I am female and I have noticed that life goes far better for women and all concerned when people follow this order. But people are born rebels. Now both families and churches suffer adversity because they reject God's designed order. Will humanity ever learn?

@jim ster that’s completely different. She’s out on her own not in a capacity of authority.

[@beaulin5628]

@jim ster Preaching on the street is not the same as leading a service in an established church and officially teaching Christian men. Every Christian is called to be an evangelist and share the gospel in their lives and community. We are all "preachers" in that regard, hoping to "save some".

[@beaulin5628]

@jim ster Good for her! The entire human race is on "death row" not just those in prison. People out here are dying every day at every age, many in perfect health, from accidents and unforseen causes. Every Christian of every age should be urgently sharing the message of Eternal Life with the people around them. All believers are mandated by Jesus Christ to be "missionaries" to the unsaved. That is very different than Christian women taking leadership roles over Christian men in the church.

The SBC is going the way of the mainline dominations. Why? For the same reason those denominations went bad. Because "they" crept in. "For certain people have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into indecent behavior and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." Jude 1:4 It is so very important in these last days to be watchful and be relentless for the truth. This is spiritual warfare. We have to fight for the truth of God's Word. This is a battle for the integrity of the church, between those indwelt by the Holy Spirit and those who worship a false Christ.

[@beaulin5628]

Love your comment. And just think, Peter was writing that at the very beginning! This has been going on for centuries and every generation must "ernestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints" to preserve the integrity of the church.

[@samuelrosenbalm]

@@beaulin5628 There is no setting where God's people congregate that is immune to this reality. There will always be false converts and apostates. Even among the twelve, there was Judas. This will always happen. But the Bible also says that these people were marked out for this. It is by design, as God is sovereign over all. As we wrestle against spiritual wickedness in high places, we are actually strengthened, and we grow closer with one another, those of us who are in the truth. Those among us who are not in the truth, do not love the truth, and end up exchanging the truth for a lie, and are cut off. God is sovereign. We have no reason to fear, only to contend for the truth we love. And we will, those of us who belong to Him.

[@dianejarvis5620]

@samuelrosenbalm Whatever our opinion on women pastors, do you really consider that to be "indecent behaviour" and a denial of Jesus our Lord? How petty!

[@samuelrosenbalm]

@@dianejarvis5620 I consider a blatant refusal to acknowledge scripture a serious denial of Christ, yes. This is not a difference of interpretation. I realize no church or denomination has a perfect understanding. This is an issue where one side shows a blatant willingness to disregard biblical prohibition and the other side doesn't. The hermeneutical standard used by egalitarians (or at least the ones who still bother themselves with the facade of being biblically minded) is incredibly similar in its methodology as that of the sodomites, and many other heretical movements and cults. That is not good company. Furthermore, there is overwhelming historical precedence demonstrating that once a governing body starts down the road of compromising biblical authority in this manner, it is a non-stop slide into further compromise, and ultimately, full blown, soul murdering apostasy. So I hardly think I'm being "petty".

[@beaulin5628]

@@dianejarvis5620 "Indecent' implies moral lewdness so "inappropriate" might be a better word. It is an example of rebellion against the order God has established in the church and is a "denial of the Lord" in that aspect.
