Looking at the identification on websites, and the Texas Baptist Annual, I see three CBFO congregations, out of the 21 total, which are affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas. NorthHaven is one, Spring Creek in Oklahoma City, and Northwest in Ardmore are the other two I can identify. There may be more.
Since the split in the Texas conventions, the Baptist General Convention has opened up affiliation and membership to churches from other states. I don't think there's a large number of them, but maybe a couple dozen who are more comfortable with their theological position, based on the BFM 1963 instead of the 2000 version, and with the fact that the BGCT has a relationship with CBF, whereas other state conventions are pushing churches out if they are dually affiliated with the CBF. Last I recall, all of the out of state churches in the BGCT were also CBF.
That might be an option for churches that get kicked out of the Kentucky convention because of their CBF affiliation. If there are enough of them, they can form their own association and affiliate with the BGCT.
