SBC has mainstreamed Roman Catholic mystical experiences as legitimate
I knew without a doubt that it was the same presence I had felt in the garden as a child and things were okay. - Rifqa Bary Roman Catholic mysticism, long abhorred by Evangelicals and Protestants, is a form of "white magic" that basically mixes pagan witchcraft with Christianity, giving the outward appearance of being of God. Often times it is reported that contact has been made with benevolent entities, who claim to be Jesus, Mary, or some other angel of light, when in reality, these beings are of darkness. The Bible strictly forbids any form of contact with the spirit world, outside of direct prayer to God alone, and God's specific revelation through Scripture alone. (Lev 19:31, etc.) However, mystical experiences are becoming more and more popular as we approach the Lord Jesus' inevitable return.

David Uth and Lifeway promoting more "experiential" heresy at the SBC
David Uth interviewed Rifqa Bary, author of Hiding in the LIght, during his speech at the Southern Baptist Convention earlier today. Bary is an ex-muslim who claims she came to Christ through an experiential event of a "presence" she had as a child in a garden, who she then found out to be Jesus when she felt the same "presence" in a church later in life.

Will Alex Malarkey get shouted down by Floyd at the SBC?
If you haven't heard of the Lifeway scandal, regarding #the15 by now, I recommend reading this article. The debacle revolves around the Southern Baptist entity, Lifeway Bookstores, who serves as the publishing branch of the convention. Lifeway, as a representative of the SBC has been called out for peddling heretical materials by unsound teachers, as well as Heaven tourism books, for profit, and not responding to criticism for their actions. One particular heretical book Lifeway peddled for years for monetary gain is "The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven." The book, though officially co-authored by Alex Malarkey and his Father, was actually a work completely by Alex's father, that Alex himself never supported. Alex recanted his story publicly, his mother publicly wrote about it, and world class apologist, and former Lifeway trustee, Justin Peters, even informed Lifeway about Alex's recantation years before the book was finally pulled from the shelves after a massive outcry by #the15, and Alex's recantation made viral through the Pulpit and Pen website.

Russell Moore partnering with New Apostolic Reformation to advance the "Social Gospel."
The concept of “social justice” is not new, it’s been around for ages. It’s the antithesis to personal responsibility. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines “social justice” as “The objective of creating a fair and equal society in which each individual matters, their rights are recognized and protected, and decisions are made in ways that are fair and honest.” On the surface this sounds like a noble cause, but in reality, it doesn’t work that way. In practice, social justice removes the notion of personal responsibility, and places the burden of individuals on the backs of society. A society devoid of personal responsibility will naturally result in laziness, crime, and a complete lack of motivation for advancement, and eventually total collapse of the society. The social justice system comes in the form of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, disguised as something good, yet it is opposed to the will of God, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
