The annual Southern Baptist Convention is currently underway in which attendees vote on various matters. One matter of debate is the election of the president of the Southern Baptist, with differing beliefs on who can be saved causing tension among members.
The Southern Baptist Convention recently had their annual meeting, where controversies about leadership and political beliefs were brought to light.
The speaker discusses dissenters in the Church of England who are not Catholic, but also do not support the Church of England due to their beliefs.
The Baptists prioritize personal liberty and autonomy, and are fundamentally against religion being affiliated with state government. This belief stems from historical events of human deaths caused by religious beliefs and practices forced upon people who did not consent.
The Baptist faith, established by John Smythe, grew and split early on between those who believed in universal salvation and those who believed in "baby hell."
