The C of E has been apostate for sometime and those who are still in the C of E and are saved should separate according to 2Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

Yes, the Second Baptist Church in Houston, Texas has a problem! It is a BIG PROBLEM! It doesn’t seem the Bible is sole rule of faith and practice for Second Baptist Church in Houston!
I and my wife spent fourteen years with the Independent Baptist mission agency (Association of Baptists for World Evangelism ABWE). My wife and I went back to the states having sent ABWE’s president, Wendell Kempton, our resignation but instead of allowing us to resign we were “terminated” without ever being told why. However, in our hearts we knew it was because they thought we knew what was happening in Bangladesh and they believed termination could forfeit anything we might say concerning the Bangladesh situation. Today ABWE has a whole different administration from those who attempted to assassinate our ministry but the organization has not changed. If you are so inclined you may read more about ABWE at https://sadsaga.wordpress.com/.
Ones heart should be broken with what the IFB churches and organizations have become. However, it should not really come as a shock. Way back in the 70’s I attended a Baptist Bible Fellowship (BBF) church to hear Jack Hyles for the fist time. Hyles told a lot of stories and one he told has stayed with me all these years. He told, and I am paraphrasing this from memory, how his deacons were so faithful to him that if he told them next Sunday the church would be Episcopalian they would accept that! I was amazed he would say such a thing especially at a meeting of IFB preachers! I never went to hear Jack Hyles again! Now, even though Hyles is no longer with us his students are! The following article on the IFB in Canada is a legacy of Hyles. The Good Ole Boy’s Club is the same whether it is secular or religious.
How far into apostasy will the Church of England go? Now, they have dropped that awful (to them) Biblical word “church”. https://thedissenter.substack.com/p/church-of-england-is-coming-clean?publication_id=291458&post_id=147897616&isFreemail=true&r=pbjs4&triedRedirect=true
Has the Bible changed? Now, there are a multitude of English versions to choose from that just might allow one to live as they want or even be a pastor if they want. However, the King James Bible continues to read in 1Timothy 3:1-7 ¶ This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
No, the Bible has not changed but it seems some who go to “church” and even some who are “Pastors” have.
