Stand With Christ: Why Missionaries Can't Sign Baptist
Faith and Message 2000 has been released by Smyth &
Helwys Publishers.
Stand With Christ explores and explains the history,
problems and biblical judgment of the 2000 Baptist Faith
and Message revision and its uses as a force of control,
internal purification, and conformity.
In his foreword, noted Baptist historian Walter B.
Shurden has this to say [his full foreword may be read
online at www.helwys.com]:
"This is a book by Baptists. Most Baptists,
especially Baptists of the South, will readily recognize
the writers -Keith Parks, Earl Martin, James Dunn, Russell
Dilday, Catherine Allen, Charles Wade, David Currie,
John Pierce, Charles Deweese, Kenneth Massey, Bruce
Prescott, and editor Robert O'Brien."
Two of the writers have strong Cooperative Baptist
Fellowship connections. They are retired CBF Global
Missions Coordinator Keith Parks, who wrote the foreword,
and emeritus CBF missionary Earl Martin, who wrote two
strong chapters on the chilling effect the BF&M
has on missionaries and national Baptists overseas.
Dr. Martin is a long-time missionary and missions professor
in Africa, Europe and the U.S. and is still active with
CBF's Gypsy Team.
"Marinated in the Baptist tradition of a free
and responsible conscience, each of these writers carries
a sterling Baptist portfolio. They deserve to be heard.
They should be heeded. This is also a book about Baptists.
Specifically, it is a book about the Southern Baptist
Convention and its deliberate, but unbaptistic, move
toward creedalism."
