dear fellow brothers and sisters,we like you have a situation in our church,where,in my opinion, the pastor is out of control.we as a church have no say, no discussion in what is happening at our church.but i believe God is bigger than the little man behind the pulpit.if we are faithfull,he will bring us thru this.i believe that the congregation should be in control of the church and staff.i believe that as church family we should be able to diagree in love,not be threatened,as i and others have been.i personally have decided to be a thorn at every business meeting,i have sought legal advice in this matter.the pastor and his klan can make it tough but as long as no laws are broken they can not make you leave.i would recomend not being without a recorder when speaking too are being spoken too with these poeple.

Please restore BBC to it's long-standing place where unfettered worship occurred.

Forgiveness and church healing would follow confession of half-truths and a total disregard for the truth, accompanied by a promise to never repeat these evils.

Southern Baptist Churches DO have business meetings. Some even on a scheduled basis--what POSSIBLE harm could come from allowing these members with concerns to be heard? We just want to understand. j

I just stumbled upon this petition. All I can say to those who have formed this petition is "shame on you." If you don't agree with something and you can't be submissive to the Biblical authority of your local church. MOVE ON.Again, I just stumbled upon this and was appauled that a local congregation would be acting this way. Seriously? A petition on the internet for Pete's sake? It makes me sad for the Kingdom. What type of witness are you to those outside your walls? Let alone those who are on the inside. The damage will be great. Very sad. Rememeber...they will recognise you by your love for one another. And sadly...by your lack thereof. You folks need some serious prayer and reconciliation to take place. I don't know you, but I will pray for you.

I believe that God is calling me to fast and to pray for Bellevue Baptist. I will be starting a fast on Thursday, May 3rd, the National Day of Prayer. I invite you to join me however you can for as long as you can. Let's ask God to help Bellevue to overcome, heal and to get back to doing His work. God bless and help us.

Why should our leadership fear anything church member has to say in a business meeting? If they always operate above board, there is never anything to fear.
