1 | SBC, says democratic proces is Biblical? | NT general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 81065 | ||
Scripture ... Acts 6:3-6; 13:1-3 ... justme, I hope I have the three types correct. Off the top of my head, these passages seem to support the democratic processes, which I would call congregation rule. The body makes all decisions. Tho, the latter God seems to be directly in the process. Remember the US has a republic processes, which I call elder rule. The body elects people to make choices for them. The third type is pastor rule, which I equate to a monarchy. There is Biblical support for each, I believe. Searcher |

Searcher56: Having served four democratic processes churches I can say I knew no other way. Now I am a member of a Pastor, Elder rule. I have seen, with amazment, how smooth, and loving this leadership is. I do think is closer to scriptures ideal in leadership as servants and leading by example and the will of the Lord. I don't discount the Baptist Faith and Message. I just see that God's leading can be administerd in more than the democratic system. I have been told in few countries is the democratic ruel used in churches. I wanted clarification if the BFM demanded that all SBC churches had to be governed that way. Do they? Blessings justme |

I think the BFM is a guideline ... but if a church goes too far, SBC will take steps, I think. I am not sure what they do in cultures w/o a democratic process. I've attended an SBC and now attend an elder rule chruch. While I do miss a direct vote, in some matters, I don't miss the fighting at business meetings. Good 'ole boys may rule no matter the type of leadership ... in some churches. |

Searcher56: I can only say from my experience at the church we are now members, I honestly believe thePastor and Elders are in the direct will of the Lord. That is a starteling diggerence from anything I have seen before. Peace. justme |
