Growing up and serving in the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement led me to believe things about the Bible and theology that were not consistent with the scriptures. Mainly, the large emphasis on one's own ability to keep or maintain their salvation by their piety, also known as, their own righteousness. This movement motivates those within it with fear and dread, rather than security and rest in the saving work of Christ. The pietism of this movement constricts the believer from confessing and repenting of their sin in fear of the reaction of others, seeing them as "unholy." Instead, choosing to wear a mask, ignoring the sin and repressing repentance. This is my story of how my eyes were opened to the theology of grace and escaping the grasp of pietism.
