Baptist Minister Marries Hindu Monk

A new book entitled Saffron Cross describes the marriage of a Baptist female minister to a Hindu monk. The author, J. Dana Trent, grew up in Binkley Baptist Church in Chapel Hill, NC, and was ordained in a Southern Baptist congregation. In 2010 she married Fred Eaker, an American convert to Hinduism from Christianity, and they spent their honeymoon in India. Trent was educated at the Baptist House of Studies, which is affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. Her case is a warning about the very dangerous spiritual waters of "evangelicalism" in general and of the Southern Baptist Convention in particular. Once you enter those waters, you can end up anywhere within the end-time one-world "church." Trent says, "Christianity is absolutely the path for some, but not for everyone" ("New Book details Baptist/Hindu marriage," ABP News, Oct. 28, 2013). If this is true, Peter was obviously confused for making the following statement about Jesus Christ: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Of course, liberals have a way of "interpreting" such passages to salve their guilty consciences, but it won't stand. Jesus said the Scripture "cannot be broken" (John 10:35).
