At this point it seems you must choose between BFM 1960s and BFM 2000s. Neither one is scripture the last time I noticed. And it seems neither one is perfect. Anyway, here is hoping some clear guidance is achieved in this motion.

Let every SBCer choose the version of the BF&M statement to which he will adhere and everyone take 2 steps forward together for the cause of Christ. Why do so few get that?! 8500 messengers registered; 60% voting to favor the BF&M motion unammended; 5100 voting “yea” (but probably 8500 not present at the time of the vote, so fewer that 5100 votes favoring); 16 million SBCers in 43,000 churches; Dr. Kelley said it (paraphrased, even if set-up for him at the microphone): “Only the Bible itself tells completely what Southern Baptists believe in detail”.
