| | View From The Pew: IMB and Baptism, Round 2 |
 | | By narrowing the field in defining what is a true "Southern Baptist", the IMB is making it clear that those not born, bred, and dunked as Southern Baptists are not welcome to serve God in all the capacities of Southern Baptist life. |
 | | This action is an affront to those of the faith who died upholding Scripture as the final authority on all matters of faith and life, people like John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, Calvin, Luther, Zwingli, Melancthon, and a host of others, who would not be accepted today because their baptism wasn't by immersion. |
 | | By narrowing the field in terms of baptism and who is acceptable in applying the ordinance, the IMB is implicitly making at least a two-tiered system of Southern Baptist Christianity. |
