Imagine saying such a thing in a Baptist Church!

Alabama Governor Robert Bentley is in trouble. He recently said that, being a Christian, only Christians were his brothers and sisters. He said that those who didn't believe in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God and the Savior of mankind were not his brothers and sisters. Truer words were never spoken.

Was he in trouble because he said this at a government meeting? Or at a mosque? Or to a bunch of atheists? No, he happened to be in the pulpit of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church when he said it.

Unfortunately, Bentley doesn't have the courage of his convictions. He's apologized for making a true statement in an appropriate setting. What is the world coming to?
