Corporate repentance?
FLOUNDERS MAY BE OFF TRACKWHEN IT COMES TO REPENTANCE
Some of the Flounders have been calling to the SBC to call for "corporate repentance." Bill Ascol, “This is a call for corporate repentance."
Now, how can only 7,000 plus messengers from the vast number of SBC churches do "corporate repentance"?
Jesus commissioned that "repentance and remission of sins be preached in His name among all nations" (Luke 24:47) to call individual sinners to repent and believe in Jesus Christ. I don't know that He ever said anything about a "corporate" repentance in regard to the numerical reports of a convention formed in 1845.
The Flounders obviously need to adjust their antenna. It doesn't appear to be receiving the message from Heaven about repentance.
The Flounders are expressly devoted to calling for "reform" and "corporate repentance," but when are they going to give priority to obeying the Commission of the Lord to preach repentance to lost sinners?

DANIEL AND CORPORATE
REPENTANCE?
I've heard and read some rather peculiar applications of Scripture in my time, but Tom Ascol's "corporate repentance" prooftext may be about as strange as any I've ever seen.
If you want to read a piece of hokey-pokey, go to the Flounders' blog and read Tom's exposition about "Daniel" on "corporate repentance." Tom thinks that is the "answer" to any "questions" about "corporate repentance."
It is so "far out" it is not even worthy of a refutation. It bears refutation on its own face.
It reminds me of the fellow who once told me he knew "where God came from."
He then quoted the passage in Habakkuk 3:3, "God came from Teman."
It also reminded me of the fellow who said Paul was a golfer, for he said, "I have finished my course."
Southwestern Seminary must really be proud of Tom. Or did he just sleep thru his class which covered Daniel?
