	Southern Baptist Theological Seminary's Response to the Baptist General Convention of Texas Seminary Study Committee ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The BGCT report states that "Faculty members with deep roots in Southern Baptist life were released because they held traditional Baptist views that have recently become unacceptable to narrow theologies and philosophies of presidents and trustees." This is so irresponsible that it cannot be taken seriously.
		Baptist Press recently (Oct. 11) announced the hiring of a Presbyterian professor." This is another evidence of the superficial and farcical approach of the BGCT committee.
		The defunding of the SBC seminaries by the BGCT is a tragedy for the SBC, for it represents the rupture of a long-standing relationship.

		The BGCT currently faces a situation in which a particular church, University Baptist Church in Austin, has continued to take actions that indicate that the church supports a practice that Baptists in Texas consider to be in conflict with scriptural guidelines.
		The Convention values both the autonomy of local churches and the harmony which is vital to the Convention's purpose of fostering cooperative missions and ministries.
		I grieve that Baptists are afraid of this scriptural debate, and refuse even to hear those who, on the basis of faithful study in the original languages, disagree with the traditional reading of those texts which address particular forms of homosexual behavior.

	Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary's Response to the Baptist General Convention of Texas Seminary Study Committee
		The September 13, 2000, report of the Baptist General Convention of Texas Seminary Study Committee is admittedly a difficult report to which to reply.
		Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary simply desires Texas Baptists to know that if Texas churches are interested in biblical orthodoxy, aggressive evangelism, and committed mission endeavors in an atmosphere of prayer and praise, they will love continuing to invest their Cooperative Program dollars in Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
		Texas Baptist churches will now be forced by the Baptist General Convention of Texas leadership to make choices.

	Texas men's group to work with both state conventions \| Friday, Feb. 28, 2003
		Although Texas Baptist Men is a self-governing missions affiliate of the BGCT, it is housed in BGCT facilities and depends heavily on the BGCT for funding ($926,888 in 2003).
		The resolution should unify Texas Baptist Men and quell threats from some SBTC churches to remove their volunteers from the organization, said Leo Smith, interim executive director of TBM and coauthor of the document.
		Instead, the men's organization revised its constitution to allow membership for laymen from Baptist churches affiliated with a "Baptist association in Texas, the Baptist General Convention of Texas or the Southern Baptist Convention." Later the TBM executive board adopted a resolution that enabled the group to help any Baptist church in Texas.

	Millionaire John Baugh & "Baptist Distinctives" / Herschel Hobbs on "Inerrancy", by Bob L. Ross (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Baugh's "Texas Baptists Committed" associates, one is "not a Baptist" if he does not affirm the 1963 Baptist Faith and Message in contrast to the revised Baptist Faith and Message of 2000.
		Baugh's close associates, Bob Newell, pastor of Memorial Drive Baptist Church in Houston, proposed at the 1999 state convention that the BGCT affirm the 1963 BFandM as the "unifying statement of our common faith and practice," and the motion was carried.
		The "Baptist Distinctives Committee" apparently also serves as a sort of "watchdog" in the BGCT to monitor the messengers who attend the convention for any infiltration into its midst of the dreaded "heresy" known as the "inerrancy" view of Scripture ("fundamentalism").

		In a letter sent to the convention, leaders of Wake Forest Baptist Church in Winston-Salem said they were unhappy over the church's stand on women in ministry, targeting Jews and Mormons for evangelism, a literal interpretation of the Bible and isolation of congregations that reach out to gays and lesbians.
