SBC Resolutions

The major order of ministry/business at the SBC Annual meeting 6/20/12 was the discussion and adoption of Resolutions.

Some of you will remember when Resolutions were discussed, edited and adopted at EFCA Conferences. Like our Resolutions, they represent the decision of a specific Conference but are non-binding. Thus, they are descriptive, not prescriptive.

There were nine Resolutions before the Convention, which you can read at the link above.

AN AFFIRMATION OF A "SINNER'S PRAYER" AS A BIBLICAL EXPRESSION OF REPENTANCE AND FAITH

ON COOPERATION AND THE DOCTRINE OF SALVATION

ON "SAME-SEX MARRIAGE" AND CIVIL RIGHTS RHETORIC

ON BIBLICAL SCHOLARSHIP AND THE DOCTRINE OF INERRANCY

ON PROTECTING RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

AFFIRMING HUMAN NEEDS MINISTRY AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT BY LOCAL CHURCHES

ON AFRICAN AMERICAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICAN BAPTIST HISTORY

ON 200 YEARS OF BAPTIST MINISTRY IN LOUISIANA

RESOLUTION 1 ON APPRECIATION
