My opinion is that Lee is wrong. Why? Not primary because of what he is saying but above all HOW he is saying it. There is (at least to me it seems) no love at all in what he is saying about Baptists but rather hatred. The way he states things to me show: no love and no patience.
IF Baptists are wrong on this issue then clearly he could have stated things in a totally different way.
The way some men continue to discuss (whether it is a friendly discussion or not I leave that to you) on this issue makes me grow very sad.
All should have concluded that the way he said some things are not promoting unity in the Church of Christ at all....... and I hope that we all agree that both Reformed Baptists and Presbyterians are members of the Body of Christ.
When we study church history we should also conclude that when statements like these are being made we see strong divisions coming up in the church which is a negative testimony to the world in a strong sense. Because of such a testimonies many lives, families and friendships have been damaged. Just study the Church in the Netherlands for the last 150 years and draw your conclusions.
Please men, let us seek to strive for holiness, Christ-likeness, above all.
