Ronnie Floyd's Continuing Slide into New Age Dominionism.
As anyone who's been following my blog knows, I've been highly critical of Ronnie Floyd and the SBC's 2015 Annual Meeting theme, Great Awakening. I believe the Southern Baptist Convention has spun out of control under current president Floyd, and is heading downhill faster than ever. Ronnie Floyd is no stranger to questionable practices and teachings, and has been exposed for his mishandling of Scripture to teach Robert Morris' first fruits tithing heresy, as well as ties to a New Age ministry that practices a borderline form of witchcraft, known as prayer circles. He also endorses New Ager Mark Batterson's book, the Circle Maker, which also promotes an unbiblical form mystical prayer.

Russell Moore signs Ecumenical Defense of Marriage Statement
Released April 23, 2015, was "The Defense of Marriage and the Right of Religious Freedom: Reaffirming a Shared Witness," an ecumenical document signed by Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist's Ethics and Religious Liberties Committee. The document, which stated a secular defense of marriage, was also signed by several other Protestant and Evangelical leaders, as well as Mormon, Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic leaders across the United States. While the premise of the document appears noble, here in lies the same problem with ecumenism, in which Russell Moore is well known for: compromising the Gospel for the sake of unity.
