Today, I lectured at NOBTS and their partnered colleges.
It was a nice mix of students and faculty. I presented on the emerging church and then three faculty members critiqued my presentation. Much more on that later...
Right now I am at a St. Louis hotel.
Tomorrow, I am speaking to the leadership of "General Association of General Baptists." Some of you may not know that there are a whole bunch of Baptist denominations.
Wikipedia describes this group as:
General Association of General Baptists - a group of Baptists holding the general atonement (that Christ died for all persons), located mostly in the Midwestern United States.This body has grown and developed until it now embraces about 60 associations, 816 churches and more than 73,000 members. The denominational headquarters are located in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, where they operate Stinson Press. The official denominational publication is The General Baptist Messenger.
The General Association oversees publication of Sunday School literature, a home mission board, a foreign mission board, and the Oakland City University in Oakland City, Indiana. The General Association is a member of the National Association of Evangelicals and the Baptist World Alliance.

I pray that one of these days a Baptist "denomination" (an oxymoron if there ever was one) would emerge with a bit of pizzazz!
PRIMITIVE Baptist?
REGULAR Baptist?
GENERAL association of GENERAL Baptists?
come on!
how about something like "We Are Hear To Rock You For Jesus Baptist DOMINATION" or something?

So does the great WIKI mean the Gen Baptists believe in "the general atonement (that Christ died for all persons), located mostly in the Midwestern United States..." or can you live somewhere else and still be a recipient of the atonement. Just wondering. And maybe even hoping...
