Pete,

Thanks for your input. I suppose I should not be surprised if the Founder-friendly SBC churches do wind up in a separate denomination; after all, that seems to be what ultimately happens in every denomination where the doctrines of grace become an issue. Either the doctrinal distinctives get watered down and "anything goes" (which seems to be what has happened in Anglicanism) or the Reformed-leaning people wind up separating. There doesn't seem to be a third choice, at least not one that I can recall seeing.
