Are you guys following or have you heard anything about the Missouri Baptist Convention and their hardline against Acts 29??
Check out this article identifying the Acts 29 movement entirely with the Emerging Church and slamming it:

Here's a rebuttal by a prof at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary:

Here's a blog post on Acts 29's website in response:

Personally, I find these impulses in SBC life to be sad. I don't speak in tongues, but I think someone who does should still be able to be an IMB missionary. I don't really like beer, but if someone enjoys it in moderation that shouldn't preclude them from being a NAMB missionary. In fact, it might make them a better one!
