According to this blog post, Lifeway is looking for two seminary students as temporary workers, for a meeting in June, and the job qualifications include:

You must be SBC and cannot have been anywhere near anything sinful in the last 6 months.

Is this an April Fool? I don’t think so. But surely this last condition rules out anyone living on earth. I don’t think they believe in sinless perfection in the Southern Baptist Convention. Anyway, even if these individuals are sinless, unless they are living in a monastery with other sinless people they have at least been near to sinful people. Or would anyone want to claim that every thing and person in an SBC seminary is perfectly sinless?

I suppose they would accept as sinless Jesus newly returned from heaven, but there is only one of him. And then would he count as SBC? There would surely be issues about whether his baptism by John was valid: John may have been called a Baptist, but there is no record of him having himself been baptised as a believer.

If anyone other than Jesus does apply for this job and claim to qualify, they should surely be asked to read this and withdraw their application:

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
