Report from FBFI meeting
The Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International
While its dispensationalism is a bit fuzzy, the FBFI is definitely anti-Reformed. A question was raised at this year’s meeting as to what sort of Reformed theology the group opposed. One speaker answered that the group had room for three- or four-point Calvinists, but not for five-pointers or for people who placed regeneration prior to faith in the ordo salutis. No one contradicted this speaker’s dictum—at least not publicly.

Thanks for mentioning them. Shepherds has a great ministry to the mentally deficient. Baptists for Life … one answer to the American holocaust of abortion.
The two local church planting ministries of BCP and CBM (I went to seminary with their Pres) are very good.
In my mind (since this thread is about fellowships), the GARBC is a very good model. When I broke my neck back in 1987 and was subsequently incapacitated for months and then returned to the ministry with a permanent handicap, Paul Tassell sent me a very encouraging note.
Our Colorado fellowship had a handful of pastors who were anti-Tassell and anti-GARBC (by the way … I shudder at the ethics of that to go to a GARBC church AND come with anti-GARBC bias), Tassell came out to meet with them. I arranged the meeting. Wish I could have been there as a fly on the wall but wasn’t. The Colorado GARBC (RMARBC) is smaller but robust today
Jim, was this said at one of the general sessions or a workshop? I was at the meeting; I do not remember anything negative being said about Reformed soteriology. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t said, I just don’t know who or in what context. Or do you know who said it? In fact, Dr. Minnick was to speak but he became ill. Isnt he Calvinistic in his soteriology, no?
