Re: Where are the Anabaptists in the UK?
PBs also don’t hold to nonresistance. The Quakers really occupied the spot in the ecosystem that would be Anabaptist elsewhere. They were quite anti war and also basically pioneered the concept of plain dress (which Anabaptists later appropriated). It would be interesting to see if a conservative Qu...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
I believe they already were in existence but got a boost from a ready constituency.
Maybe a BMA person can correct my history.

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
I think for a while KMF wasn't allowed to take on any LC churches after the original split. Not sure where I got that information though. That was the agreement the original Keystone pastors made with LMC when they brokered the deal to withdraw. The other congregations that also wanted out of LMC t...

Re: AP Video: How to Read Revelation & Avoid the Mark of the Beast
Of course, the historic Anabaptist position is the amillennial view, other than a few embarrassing exceptions like the Münsterites. Any group that adopts premillennialism (or worse, dispensationalism) is a sign that the group at one point was drinking from strange waters. I haven’t really encounter...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
I don’t think it’s official written policy but overall they are trying to back away from “acquiring” dissatisfied congregations which are trying to transition more worldly. (They’d gladly take a CMC congregation that doesn’t want to trend more worldly tho, like the Bealeton/Cattlet, VA community) I...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
If I remember right, back then in KMF (15+ years ago) the congregations had some margin to work with on certain issues like technology and headcovering style. I also remember a local congregation withdrawing from the fellowship and affiliating with BMA. But like I said, that was a while back. If I ...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
As I understand it the MB organisation is quite “flat” and congregations hold the power. I suspect institutions derived from the Kleine Gemeinde all have this model, because Holdemans are the same way. For whatever reason the old Swiss model did not prevail. If I remember right, back then in KMF (1...

If his job is making sure the Middle East war machine is fully funded, then yes.
