things which Southern Baptists get right

  • Dancing is, if not immoral, at least inadvisable for all but the purest of heart.
  • You've got to admire the strength of conviction it takes to come down more consistently against alcohol over the past 100 years than against abortion.
  • See the comments on Protestantism.
  • Rightly or wrongly, at least they take seriously what the Bible has to say, unlike some modernists.
  • These days, they support integration.

Of course, I'm only commenting on Southern Baptists and not American Baptists - the latter have their own problems of much the same type as the Episcopalians [ie, Spong-style heretics hiding behind the doctrine of "soul liberty"].
