Scot McKnight gets it right on the SBC resolution against the 2011 NIV. Hopefully the SBC will reverse this stance at some point. This was a last minute resolution passed with many people already having left the conventional hall at a poorly attended convention this summer. Sadly, many people do not understand how Baptist polity works and may be led to believe that no baptist churches or people are allowed to use the NIV 2011. Resolutions like this have no binding authority over the local church autonomy or baptist folks. It does stink to see that something like this gets media or popular attention over much more important matters.
Read McKnight's post here. It includes the wording of the resolution.
