“If doctrinal disagreements between Baptists are considered sin, we all get kicked out,' Warren said.
The SBC voted Tuesday on Saddleback’s appeal at its annual meeting in New Orleans, but the results of the balloting have not been announced yet.
“What we share in common is a mutual commitment to the inerrancy and infallibility of God’s word and to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ,” he said. “No one is asking any Southern Baptist to change their theology. I’m not asking you to agree with my church. I am asking you to act like a Southern Baptist, who have historically agreed to disagree on dozens of doctrines in order to share a common mission.
The convention also heard an appeal from Freedom Church of Vero Beach, Florida, which the Executive Committee ousted for what it said was a failure to address a situation of sexual misconduct. The church said it had addressed the issue, but a committee representative disputed that. Those words were inserted because “30 years ago this issue threatened to tear this denomination apart,” Mohler said.
