Contrary to Rick Warren's claims, Baptist confessions provide doctrinal accountability

EDITOR'S NOTE: Clint Bass (DPhil, Oxford) is a Baptist historian and member of Southern Hills Baptist Church, Bolivar, Mo.
Warren is surely correct about one thing: "the future and nature of the SBC...hangs in the balance." The fact is that the denomination cannot afford to wink at denials of its confession lest the majority of its members see that theological union was a sham all along. This would certainly kill the spirit of cooperation.
