14. OUT OF CONFLICT BETWEEN
BAPTISTS
THE BBFI WAS BORN
• For many years, J. Frank Norris, the dominant leader of the World
Fundamental Baptist Missionary Fellowship, held a dual pastorate in Fort
Worth, TX, and Detroit, MI. From 1936 onward, his associate, G. B. Vick, was
the resident leader of the Michigan church, leading it successfully. In 1948,
Vick reluctantly agreed to become president of the Bible Baptist Seminary of
Fort Worth, TX,
• In May 1950, Norris opposed Vick’s leadership of the school and arranged to install
another president. When the Fellowship met, there was vigorous debate, Norris’s
actions were challenged, and an impasse was reached. Vick resigned, and in a
meeting with 120 pastors and sympathizers, the Baptist Bible Fellowship
International was born. During the same meeting, Baptist Bible College (BBC), the
Mission Office, and Baptist Bible Tribune were founded. –SOURCE: BAPTIST

International.

when they surrendered to go to the Philippines as missionaries.

1950.

stand.

give thee understanding in all things.

33. How to remain a blessed church
• Eph 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for
it; (26) That he might sanctify and cleanse it
with the washing of water by the
word, (27) That he might present it to himself a
glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or
any such thing; but that it should be holy and
without blemish.
