Ben Carson Advocates for Abortion Drug, Isn't Sure When Life Begins
Remember Dr. Ben Carson, the Seventh Day Adventist that David Uth and other SBC leaders pushed so hard for to speak at the 2015 Convention? You know, the one that those pesky "Calvinistic" bloggers "bullied" Willy Rice into dropping from the line-up?

The Liberal Influence on Children and Karen Swallow Prior
As a teacher at a Christian university, with as much renown as Prior, her opinions are highly sought after. She writes for many publications on a regular basis, and has a clan-like following that would defend her to no end. While being tied up around the issue of homosexual affirmation, some of her other liberal ideologies have been overlooked, but should be given attention. Two important issues that can affect your children; she supports the liberal Common Core education program, and she practices and defends authentic Yoga, a form of Pagan Hindu mysticism.

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.

The Evangelical Counter-Reformation
If you ask the average Evangelical church-goer today what the difference is between Protestantism and Catholicism, you're likely to get a variety of answers. Some will tell you that Catholics believe in a works salvation, but many won't really understand what that means. Others may tell you that Catholics worship Mary and Protestants don't. But the overwhelming majority are likely to have no idea what the difference is, and this is rather disturbing. While many of these people will be able to articulate the Gospel, Catholicism is quickly becoming seen as "just another denomination," with some strange twists. They are no longer being seen as the counterfeit Church, the ancient enemy of the Gospel that the reformers fought so hard and gave their lives to expose and separate from. The muddying of these waters is not unaccounted for, however, and it comes as no surprise, since today we have so many Evangelicals afraid to speak out against Rome, and fornicating with her in many ways.

Russell Moore is Senior Editor for Catholic/Protestant Ecumenical Magazine
Any true Bible-believing Christian who knows anything at all about the doctrines of Catholicism, and Eastern Orthodox "christianity" knows that Biblical Christianity shares absolutely nothing with these two counterfeit religions in the most fundamental doctrine of the faith--salvation. In fact, these two religions consistently deny many of the "fundamental doctrines of the faith as revealed in Holy Scripture" in preference of their traditions. Many of their doctrines, such as sacramental, or works-based salvation, idolatrous forms of Mary and Saint veneration, Purgatory, Papal infallibility, and transubstantiation of the Eucharist, just to name a few, are extremely dangerous doctrines that turn people away from the truth of the Scriptures. The Scriptures clearly and consistently tell us to have nothing at all to do with these false doctrines, rather expose them (Eph 5:11). These false religions are the works of darkness. They are designed by the ultimate deceiver to counterfeit the true Christian faith, and they lead people to Hell. True Christians are to have no fellowship with darkness, as it is written:
