Traditionalism Defined

tra•di•tion•al•ism 1) the false perception that our practices are soundly rooted in God’s word simply because these are the practices and beliefs that we think our organization has held for some time. 2) a delusion: many of the practices and beliefs are recent infiltrations of worldliness. The actual longevity of our traditions may not match reality. While “progressive Baptists” actively seek liberalization, traditionalists have failed to recognize the incursion of unbiblical change in a few short generations.
