Untitled section

The statement:

"a provision which caused considerable discussion and dissent both within and outside of the convention's member churches"

under "Women's Limitations In Marriage and Ministry" should have a reference. The footnote at the end of the sentence does not support the claims of the sentence.

I don't know if I'm really qualified, but I'm gonna take the graffiti celebrating Falwell's death off this page. Some real Wikipedian can review it later, I reckon. ;)

Of course it is "qualified by Scripture"!

It might not be in the Baptist Faith and Message itself, but a good percent of the congregation and everyone who went through seminary (which comprises the whole staff of the convention) have read this in the Bible: 1 Tim. 2:12 [NIV]: I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man... 1 Tim. 3:2-3 [NIV]: Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

This being said, someone please change that paragraph.63.215.29.113 03:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure just what the dickens this section is supposed to mean or say. --Orange Mike 16:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I updated links [1] and [2] for links to descriptions of the 2000 BFM and the different BFMs with Scripture references. Sh33na 18:39, 4 December 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sh33na (talkcontribs)

Ratification Statistics?

edit

(I suspect) there is an unwritten reason why the 1925 BFM still appears on the SBC website. It has to do with appeasing a crowd that doesn't move forward or accept change readily. There are obviously/possibly SBC member churches that never ratified the 1963 version (and I attend a church "delinquent" in adopting the latest 1998 and 2000 changes). As an encyclopedic article, this important set of statistics is missing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MathInclined (talkcontribs) 00:15, 10 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
