"When a person says they are leaving the IFB it is really a misnomer. There is nothing to leave. There are no headquarters. There are no association dues. There are no elected officials. You can’t “officially” leave the IFB because there is no “official” IFB. There is nothing to leave. He may disassociate with a periodical, a school, a fellowship, a pastor, church or organization but you can’t leave an organization that doesn’t exist.
When a preacher expresses that he his leaving the IFB, what he usually means is that he is throwing off certain biblical convictions so that he can feel more welcomed by liberal organizations." Gary Click http://wp.me/p1uUqo-2F
