That's ridiculous. There are many IFB churches that have hosted Southern Gospel groups, and they are nothing like HPBC.
Could you name 5 (several) IFB churches of 750+ that have? You did not necessarily say LARGE, but GLBC isnt your average church either.
I cannot think of any- and I know quite a few

What on earth does that have to do with anything? What's the significance of the number 750?
you also said "There are many IFB churches that have hosted Southern Gospel groups, and they are nothing like HPBC"
The number 750 is arbitrary. However, my point is this- people do not care what the average little IFB church does or does not do. Thus, comparing what GLBC does to "many IFB churches" is not a good one.
If you wish to make your point- that having a Southern Gospel concert is no big deal in IFB circles- the comparison needs to be with churches of equivalent size/influence. That's where the 750 came in.
Pick a number- 750, 1000, 1200- which ever you like. How many churches that call themselves IFB churches of equivalent size and influence have hosted a Southern Gospel concert??? I bet you cant name 5.
I cannot think of any

Well that's just dumb. I could care less about what churches people think are "significant" and which ones they think are not. but your question depends on what churches you consider IFB or not. For example Shadow Mountain in California is considered by some to be IFB, but some don't.
