I recently read this quote from a member of a Freewill Baptist Church in response to a Freewill Baptist church in KY that excluded a racially mixed couple:
"That’s the problem with autonomy. Biblically illiterate and unspiritually guided kooks have nobody they HAVE to answer to. All the official stances and resolutions that could be made from here to eternity are unenforceable in reality. It’s time to rethink this position for the sake of preserving dignity in the denomination."
Didn't she just describe most/all of Protestantism and Evangelicalism? Doesn't everyone have the right to their private interpretations? Sounds like one Freewill Baptist is questioning the very foundation of the Reformation and the congregational form of government which is supposed to be based in Scripture. But then who's to say, since everyone has complete autonomy?
