I see a split in the Southern Baptist Convention in the next decade

My pastor just informed us that our church will be partnering with a few thousand other SBC churches and forming the “Conservative Baptist Network of the Southern Baptist Convention”.
Conservative Baptist Network launched amid 'woke' trend in SBC, emphasizing Scripture, evangelism
It’s a pretty lengthy article, but there’s a lot of good stuff in there. I’m a member of Brad Jurkovich’s church and I’m all in in this move.

“We are concerned about the current road our Southern Baptist family is traveling. It is a road that is twisting what God’s Word is saying about things like human sexuality, biblical racial reconciliation, and socialistic justice,” said Brad Jurkovich, the network spokesman and the pastor of First Baptist Church in Bossier City, Louisiana, in a press release exclusively provided to CP Thursday.
“There are three choices that every pastor and church have to make,” he explained.
Those three options, he said, are to remain in the SBC and say nothing and watch it drift into obscurity; walk away entirely, cognizant of what they are leaving behind; or remain within the denomination and contend for the restoration of what has been lost in recent years.
The Bossier City pastor believes many desire the third option and the CBN pastors, lay ministers and seminary professors are ready to stand alongside them.
quote:
“Are the apparent theological, ethical and social compromises simply indicative of Southern Baptists succumbing to the apostasy of the Laodicean Age? Are we doomed to the fate of an unrepentant church or will we open the door to let Christ in, overcome our present malaise and experience another spiritual renaissance?" Jurkovich offered, speaking to how he presently sees the spiritual status of the denomination as a whole.
He further maintained that a significant number of Southern Baptists are especially concerned about the overemphasis on certain issues that have received more attention than has evangelism and spiritual renewal — emphases that have helped make Southern Baptists the largest and most influential evangelical group in the nation.

Another contentious matter that has rankled many longtime Southern Baptists is Resolution Nine, a 2019 measure that the messengers adopted which states that what is known as critical race theory and intersectionality are useful analytical lenses. The resolution defined CRT as "a set of analytical tools that explain how race has and continues to function in society" and intersectionality as "the study of how different personal characteristics overlap and inform one’s experience."
The network regards these tools as fundamentally flawed because they stem from worldviews like Neo-Marxism and other ideological systems that are hostile to the Christian faith.

Won’t surprise me... any association that compromises biblical principles in an attempt to conform to society will fail....

TLDR;
Are you pro-homo or anti-homo?

Who will keep the church property? This happened w/the Presbyterians and the SJWs got to keep the properties

Well the SBC doesn’t own the churches or the properties.

Yeah this split won't be as nasty as the Methodist. Property will not be an issue or retirements.

Again, we are not Jewish and do not fall under Jewish eating laws. Get a new strawman

The idiocy of this is incredible

And had the Apostles relied on the Bible alone, we would still be following the Law of Moses. It wasn't until the Council of Jerusalem in the year AD 49 that circumcision and the Jewish dietary laws were declared nonextant, unilaterally, by St. Peter.
Before St. Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles, that council was not part of scripture.

it's getting really nasty among the Methodist

This will keep happening until the Church broadly realizes that worship is more than praise songs but it is also the faithful preaching of the Word and administration of the sacraments. Church discipline and oversight is also necessary.

I get the first one but what are the second two about?

There is a good argument that the Catholic church (and all churches) have done this since ages ago, and are still around. People will buy anything when they have no choice... hell, they'll buy anything anyway as long as the packaging is convincing.

What are some specific examples that the SBC is compromising biblical principles?

Dude... there’s this thing called the New Testament. Might want to look into it, and it’s implications.
