I'm not saying that.
speaker_1HOST
But if you're in the independent fundamental Baptist world, Pentecostal world, holiness movement world, you'll notice the women tend to dress In a very specific way.
speaker_1HOST
Typically, their hair is long, almost no makeup, very little jewelry.
speaker_1HOST
The dress will come way almost down to their ankle.
speaker_1HOST
And when you see them in public, you know Independent Fundamental Baptist, Pentecostal, or Holiness Movement.
speaker_1HOST
You can identify them in 2.3 seconds.

Now, listen.
Ron RalphGUEST
God's plan is the church, the church as a body.
Ron RalphGUEST
I'm 100% confident tonight that if our churches, our crowd, our people in truly King James Bible-believing Baptist churches, I'm convinced they could go to another level, and that includes Cornerstone for sure, if we really understood what it meant to be assembled together.
Ron RalphGUEST
When I read the book of Acts and I read about that unity, when I read about that being knit together, compacted, I mean, they're selling their houses to help somebody that's got a need.
Ron RalphGUEST
That's pretty strong, isn't it? I mean, they're bringing the money and laying it at the apostles' feet to meet the needs of everybody.
6 MINS LATER
Ron RalphGUEST
This is Paul's first missionary journey.
Ron RalphGUEST
And the Bible says in chapter 13, verse 1, Now there were in the church that was at Antioch, and by the way, if you want to see a New Testament church, try to figure this verse out.
Ron RalphGUEST
It wouldn't match most independent Baptist churches.
Ron RalphGUEST
Most independent Baptist churches wouldn't let people in that Jesus wants in.
speaker_1HOST
So those were the basically I was attending three schools at the same time.
speaker_1HOST
So the very first school I think I ever walked into was a Bible Institute, an Independent Fundamental Baptist Institute.
speaker_1HOST
And let me tell you, I have attended so many of them since then.
speaker_1HOST
I've attended them online, correspondence, in person, and online.
Terry RandolphGUEST
Hey, I'm gonna tell you something.
Terry RandolphGUEST
I don't care if you're a fundamental Independent Baptist, been saved all your life, and you have a lot of knowledge of God's Word.
Terry RandolphGUEST
Someone said you can have a lot of knowledge and not have any wisdom.
Terry RandolphGUEST
Right.
Terry RandolphGUEST
That sounds like somebody's far from God.
Terry RandolphGUEST
And so it can...
Terry RandolphGUEST
E- even if you're a fundamental Independent Baptist, you go to church every week, you give your tithe, you sing your songs, you sing special, I don't care what you do, [clears throat] I, I'm just telling you this right now, uh, it, it, it...
Terry RandolphGUEST
Anybody can get into the point of coasting and, and getting to the, the point where you're, uh, you're, you're doing what you wanna do, and it's just outward show.
Stephen RussHOST
Basically, I'll give you the overarching, overarching, um, thought.
Stephen RussHOST
All three Of the hosts of this podcast, myself, Tom, Martin, are all independent Baptists.
Stephen RussHOST
And, um, Tom for years pastored, now is, is a professor.
Stephen RussHOST
Martin and I are pastors of independent Baptist churches.
Stephen RussHOST
And we know that, that every movement has its, um, has its, uh, how do you put it? Um, it has its good, good and bad, it has its, uh, pros and cons.
Stephen RussHOST
It ha- it has all that, right? Uh, but what we really wanted to do for the next few moments here on the Issues podcast is we wanted to spend some time just kind of giving our own analysis and evaluation of where the movement, which some will say there isn't s- there's no such thing because we're independent, but we can get into that.
Stephen RussHOST
Uh, where, where the movement or the group of people that consider themselves to be independent fundamental Baptists, some would say, um, independent Baptists unaffiliated from a convention, where are we? Uh, and it, I think in order to know where we are, you have to kind of look at where we've come from, and then maybe spend a few minutes just debating, uh, or speculating on, on where, where we think we should go in the future.
Stephen RussHOST
You know, what, what would be a good course of action going forward? And, and this comes, Tom, I think, and you can clarify if you feel differently about this, everyone should do analysis of themselves.
Bonnie KristianGUEST
And we went to a broad array of evangelical churches, just depending on what was available where we lived.
Bonnie KristianGUEST
So, you know, Southern Baptist, Pentecostal, Methodist, Independent Fundamental Baptist, non-denominational, you know, a number of different churches.
Bonnie KristianGUEST
I got a unusually broad taste of sort of the breadth of this movement as I was growing up.
Bonnie KristianGUEST
And then, you know, I went to an evangelical seminary for my master's and I continue to be an evangelical church as an adult.
Jessica TaylorGUEST
You know, I've been to megachurches and they were not Methodist.
Jessica TaylorGUEST
They were either Southern Baptist or Independent Baptist or Fundamentalist Baptist typically or just, you know, non-denominational.
Jessica TaylorGUEST
But him talking about it sort of being a cross, he was like, you know, probably a third or Independent, a third or Democratic, and a third or Republican.
Jessica TaylorGUEST
And you think of someone, you know, he didn't seem to have very much of like an activist background in the same way that like a Raphael Warnock had at being at Catholic.
James Safe ChristianHOST
Uh, a- and I went to our pastor and I was like, "Man, I'm giving the invitation.
James Safe ChristianHOST
I'm doing everything they tell me to do, uh, but no one's really responding." And he said, "That's not how we measure success." Um, a- and- and even though he's Independent Baptist, that was like he, he taught me well when it came to that.
James Safe ChristianHOST
He said, "We don't preach for the response.
James Safe ChristianHOST
We preach for the Holy Spirit to work in their life.
John McKeeHOST
No, OPC is Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
John McKeeHOST
LCMS is Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, and IFB, Independent Fundamentalist Baptist.
John McKeeHOST
And it goes from a spectrum of negative five progressive functional agnosticism, Christian identity largely retained in name only, all the way to a plus five on the conservative ethno-nationalism, Christian identity bound to a particular ethnicity or national identity.
John McKeeHOST
So this is something which You might want to save in your archives, just print it out, have it available in your notes, put it in your Bible, something which I thought was very useful.
Dean AlleyHOST
And I know a lot of people today.
Dean AlleyHOST
I'm still, I'm a member of Independent Baptist Church here locally.
Dean AlleyHOST
And there's a lot of good people in there.
Dean AlleyHOST
But remember, we are to search the scriptures for what? The truth.
