There is a debate within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) regarding the Law Amendment, which aims to reaffirm complementarian convictions. Rob Collingsworth, Bart Barber, and others are involved in opposing this amendment. Supporters argue for the importance of upholding sound doctrine and biblical authority over emotions. The amendment faces resistance despite arguments that it aligns with previous constitutional amendments. Various perspectives on the amendment's implications and the need for doctrinal consistency are being discussed within the SBC community.
“Should Collingsworth and the faction he represents prevail, the SBC will continue in a direction that it cannot ultimately maintain for long and still remain the Southern Baptist Convention that we know and love—one that stands on God’s Word, every verse, and defends its… https://t.co/EWRbibRzuG
Yesterday, we saw an effort to convince complementarians to oppose the Law Amendment. Amazingly, each reason given against it was actually a good argument for it. So here are “Five Reasons to Support the Law Amendment” by @GerredwithaG at @BaptistLeaders https://t.co/4VWsFS6aBa
The Apostle Paul warned about people like @rcollingsworth “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine…” 2 Timothy 4:3 (NIV) https://t.co/NVFvGv77ch
Everyone in the SBC needs to understand the severity of the fact that @rcollingsworth at the @SBCReview published this line today: “Enforcing sound doctrine is good, but where do we stop?” This isn’t a random submission. Rob is on the *leadership team* of the @SBCReview He’s… https://t.co/de4LApdcBa
The Apostle Paul wanted about people like @rcollingsworth “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine…” 2 Timothy 4:3 (NIV) https://t.co/phC1UjqYUn
The Apostle Paul wanted about people like @rcollingsworth “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine…” 2 Timothy 4:3 (NIV) I’m dismayed to hear he is an adjunct at @MBTS What is happening there? https://t.co/oT3NI76fYN
I mean, you guys either oppose race discrimination or you don't. 🤷♂️ https://t.co/8CjK3MTbTV
“Enforcing sound doctrine is good, but where do we stop?” When you see a phrase like that, who do you think it’s most likely from?
“The five opposing reasons cited are exactly why we need the Law Amendment to pass!” @ScottPatton33 I can’t imagine @SBCReview (who doesn’t have a single founder who supports the Law Amendment as far as I can tell) had any idea how this Barber-proxy piece would backfire https://t.co/uaUtz1c1c3
One simple test for the sincerity of anyone’s argument against the Law Amendment is this: “Did you make the same argument against the recent constitutional amendments on abuse and racism?” If they did not, and if they voted for those, then it’s clearly not a matter of…

Brother @AdamPage85 with the 🔥 Either Southern Baptists believe the Bible or we don’t. Those arguing for egalitarianism and against the Law Amendment want us to pull a Thomas Jefferson on God’s Word and cut out the portions they don’t like. Don’t let them prevail. https://t.co/cNJ7oS9Z2Z
Why does a professor at @MBTS feel empowered to publicly voice opposition to the complementarian-affirming Law Amendment under consideration in the SBC? https://t.co/X2UmH5CzaX
I get the feeling the Law Amendment will pass at the SBC in Indianapolis this year. However, these are five good reasons why I believe the SBC should reconsider. https://t.co/y8kAmQP9PJ
When it comes to theology and confessional boundaries, we shouldn’t let money/feelings set our positions—as some are arguing today in opposition to the @sbcamendment—but God’s Word alone The Bible must be a higher authority than our emotions. @dmichaelclary at @BaptistLeaders https://t.co/lcONa7IglN
"The reaction to the Law Amendment by its opponents has been telling. The vast majority of the 'arguments' against it are rooted in emotional language, asking not whether it’s the right thing to do, but rather how it will make women feel." @dmichaelclary https://t.co/W3HsepcM3u
There are no complementarians who oppose the Law Amendment. Let the reader understand.
One might reasonably ask how we amended the BF&M 2000 directly from the floor last year with very little debate, but Mike Law’s amendment to restate our complementarian convictions in our constitution is met with such resistance? That’s a good question to ask Rob Collingsworth.
If you’re in the SBC, you need to know that Rob Collingsworth is working hand-in-glove with Bart Barber and others like Jared Cornutt to try and defeat the Law Amendment Rob told me he actually drafted the motion to amend the BF&M from the floor via Jared Cornutt last year… https://t.co/fk4y2fnuMM
Rob Collingsworth gives five reasons why a complementation might oppose the Law Amendment, which will come before the messengers for a ratifying vote in June. https://t.co/8eTUffuT2a
