Puritan Board Senior
I recently asked that mine and my wife's letter be sent to the Presbyterian Church were we are about to join. We have been members in good standing for the past 10 years at a local SBC church. Our secretary emailed me back stating:
"I cannot send a letter to a different denomination church only to a Baptist Church...."
I was not aware that this was SBC policy. Anybody familiar with this?
We know that we will be required to go before the elders for our testimony for membership, but I did discuss with one of the elders about our SBC church sending a letter as well. Thing is, this particular elder grew up in the SBC church we are now leaving for his church years and years ago. Just looking for other SBC pastor, deacons out there to shed some light on what your policy is in your churches. I was a deacon at this church since 2001.
