If you like theology and/or Church history, this video is for you. The 2024 SBC Convention Annual Meeting will be held on June 11-12 in Indianapolis. Earlier this year, I accepted the role of Pastor-Teacher at Sophia Baptist Church in Sophia, NC. Sophia Baptist Church is in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention. As far as I know, the church has never sent messengers to the national convention. With my only being recently affiliated with anything SBC, and still in the beginnings of my tenure as an elder at a Southern Baptist Church, I didn’t think about being a messenger this year. After I saw the article in Credo Magazine on May 30th by Malcom Yarnell, I am regretting not planning to go. That article was titled, “The Need for the Creed” and argues that the Nicene Creed needs to be added to the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, the statement of faith that must be affirmed by all churches in friendly cooperation with the SBC. I am familiar with that statement of faith. It is a distinctly Baptist statement of faith, but it is generic so as to allow for a big tent that includes Calvinistic and non-Calvinistic Baptists coming together to support missions and other ministries while remaining entirely self-governing in their church polity.
