I don't see too much wrong with what the church, which John Piper led, says it believes. The power given to congregational body I don't see anywhere in the Bible, however. They have a strong denominational liking also. However, The Baptist General Conference looks like a good Christian group to me, even if their and my theology don't perfectly harmonize.
