Pastor of FBC Hammond
Hello Dear Brothers:
Have I just overlooked it, or have the Independent Fundamentalists Baptist brothers given this prominent leader a "pass" on this one?
Seems awfully quiet around here to me?

People that attack Calvinism
Someone on FB posted this CRUDE article.
The Absurd Falsehoods of Calvinism/Reformed Theology
I disagree with this page and its attack on Calvinism by crude language and sweeping judgments. Is this author a militant KJVO? Calvinism has issues in its Eschatology and the Doctrine of Limited Atonement. Other than that I have no major objections that I can think of. I do agree with Lordship, I do agree with presuppositional... -
Pastor and Teacher, or Pastor/Teacher?
I'm putting this in this forum since it is a matter of ecclesiology.
On the NA28 thread in the Bible Versions forum the subject of Eph. 4:11 came up when I opined that John MacArthur was mistaken in his interpretation of it. MacArthur teaches that in that verse, the terms "pastors" and "teachers" are talking about the same individuals, based on the Granville Sharp rule of koine Greek grammar. So instead of both pastors and teachers in the church, we have pastor/teachers, one office.

Why do Mormons and Baptists deny the need for historical evidence?
After multiple discussions with several Baptists and evangelicals on this site I have come to the conclusion that the fact that there is no historical evidence that any Christian living in the first six centuries of Christianity held the Baptist view that Baptism is an act of obedience/public profession of faith ONLY, really does not bother them. Why?
These Baptists and evangelicals state that there is no need for historical evidence to support their interpretation of the Bible because a... -
Why was Tertullian a Credo-baptist?
A Baptist pastor sent me the following link as proof that most early Christians did not believe in infant baptism.
Maybe its just me, but the text seems to give support for just the opposite.
It seems that Tertullian not only encouraged infants to hold off on baptism, but he also advised non-married persons and widows to delay baptism. Why? It certainly wasn't because he believed that baptism was just an act of obedience/public profession of faith!

David Barton - getting the comeuppance he deserves
So if you've been following some of the minor league press from World and Christianity Today you've probably heard that David Barton, the founder of Wallbuilders, is getting smoked by a lot of actual historians for his latest book.
Essentially: Barton's poor history is finally getting called into account by historians Christians believe (that is, their own.) His dramatic overstatements, general unfamiliarity with historical dates, and problematic interpretations found in Jefferson Lies,... -
Theology of debt & Finance
For next month perhaps I may buy a book by Larry Burket or Randy Alcorn. Ramsey is good, but he mentions allot of self-help authors on the podcast which throws a curve ball at me. He also is ANTI any form of debt, which is not Biblical. I have heard Crown Financial say its okay to have Credit Cards as long as you pay them off, which is what I do. I have earned 2 round trip flights to california FREE, and have a FREE flight coming up and I have PAID off my credit Cards. I have also earned... -

Eternal Security by Charles Stanley
I FINALLY ordered a copy tonight ($4.72 TOTAL) and it will be the limit of my book budget this month. I am gonna read it for myself and gonna find out if Stanley really teaches "easy-believism" and "cheap grace." Based on what I hear him say on podcasts he does not, but we shall see. However even if he does the book has a 1990 pub date and perhaps he has changed his views since then.
