Our new pastor is a Baptist and Baptists hold to the prescient view of election and decision theology, fine whatever floats your boat. Sermons always end with an altar call to "accept Christ as your personal savior" week in week out. I call it "First Stepology" it's baby food and it's boring. There is no meat. I find that this borders on an obsession with adding fresh souls and little else. I have friends who are Baptists that hunger and thirst for more. I find myself filling the role of teacher for these folks, well there's only two so it's not much of a class but, they are learning and they're finding joy which is awesome, praise the Lord.
Question. Is this focus on getting people saved the primary object in the training of Baptist ministers? I ask because these friends of mine are woefully ignorant of knowledge past salvation. It pains my heart somewhat.
