In 2000 Adrian Rogers the president of the Southern Baptist Convention made theological and sociological revisions to the 1963 confession. Despite the similarities and the revisions between the two confessions there are major concerns on topics about the doctrine of God. Many pastor-theologians endeavor on what to improve to the confession which has and will continue to impact the Baptist’s history past, present, and future. The 1963 BF&M confessions being revised are the faith and message that was set forth positive teaching the American Baptist believes.
Many other forms of counseling approaches have a tendency to be to direct and have the potential to become theological based rather than spiritually based.

When counseling the counselor must always have the Spirit of Christ to help individuals through their problems.

There are people who live in a secular world, worlds that is non-religious, but who identify, in their hearts, with Christianity. They are a breed of people who are challenging the Church to become ecumenical in its thinking and if the Church will not get out into the community to help others this group will be found doing the work of the ‘Church’. Pastoral Carers and/or Ministers have challenging roles that must include these Christians who will most likely never come into their Churches. The inclusion of these people will exemplify the most powerful form of love that could ever exist, a love that is unconditional and a love that does not come with wrong motives. The traditions of man must give way to this new generation of worshippers, worshippers who are not frequenting the Church but are in the communities helping, reading ‘spiritual’ books to help them learn about being great people, and having a relationship with God.
The role of the chaplain has changed considerably. Today, a chaplain has many duties, but in my opinion, only one objective. For the Evangelical Christian chaplain, the objective is to obey Jesus’ words in Matthew 28:18-20—to make disciples. The chaplain is a disciple-maker in the military context. “Making disciples” has been reinterpreted these days to mean “make converts.” I do not believe any Christian is called to merely make converts.
