I remember him telling about them arguing over this matter. And it was settled by the fact that Jesus drank wine at the last supper. It's just a small glass of it, after all. But yes, all the SBCs I grew up in didn't allow for drinking of wine.
In Michigan my mother smelled wine on a deacon's breath, and made a fuss about it. And even went and grabbed his garbage, to find his wine bottles, and brought them to the church to prove he was a wine drinker. A big no-no ... at least to her and others in her SB church. But he wasn't dismissed, nor did he step down. Which made my mom very angry. My mom was a legalist. Now you have a little window into what y'all think is wrong with me.
