Although my experience is anecdotal, I was showed the door at a Baptist Church we attended several years ago (13+) for disagreeing with the session of that Church (yes, they had elders) for their purchase and distribution of 1000+ copies of "The Jesus Video" (Campus Crusade version based loosely on the Gospel of Luke) after I told them that video violated the 2nd and 3rd commandments. For the record, they approached RC Sproul in the matter because I had said that my views were consistent with classical Reformed and Presbyterian teaching. He replied to the session of that Church that they were within their rights to do as they had done, and that he could see no problem with their course.

I have appreciated some of the ministry of Dr. Sproul. However, in this position I have have no agreement with him whatsoever. I believe, with the divines, that even representations or images in the mind are forbidden. (LC 109)

Our best marks can contribute nothing to our justification, ...that is proper to faith. Faith cannot lodge in the soul alone, and without other graces; yet faith alone justifies before God.--G. Gillespie
