Are you a Reformed Baptist, and define that term!

[Bro. James]

I just do that to annoy ....apparently it works.

The Lord is good! Thank you Lord

No annoyance. Are you sure this is about poetic license?

Have a blessed day.

The point is that the dead in Christ are in Heaven, and there is an assembly of te saints not in just a loal churc!

Maybe the next time 'you are' in your grammar checker see if 'your' is ever a verb form. Sometimes contractions get complicated. Sometimes we all need a refresher course in 8th grade English Grammar.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Had enough to remember Bilbical Greek Grammar, much less native English!

===========================================================

My Greek instructor taught that the best way to learn Greek is to learn English. I have found it worthwhile to study every word very analytically. See it, say it, use it in a simple sentence. Find it's origin and every use since it was coined. It makes for better communication--provided the reader/listener is familiar with the same jargon and set of definitions. Local idiom can be real confusing to anyone but the locals. English has a lot of homonyms. Nothing like a good brainstorming session.

An interesting point about the Koine Gk., the language of the NT: the Roman Legions spoke the Common or Koine Gk. Not sure how many could read it. However, the spoken Word is all the Holy Spirit needs to convict of sin, righteousness and judgement to come. "Faith comes by hearing, hearing the Word of God."

Sorry this is a bit off course.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Good point, as I was taught that needed to redo English grammar before getting into the Greek!

 

[Jerome]

Alexander Campbell and his followers in the United States (the Restoration movement that resulted in the Churches of Christ/Christian Churches/Disciples of Christ, which today have millions of members here) called themselves Reforming Baptists in the 1820s and 1830s before their break with traditional Baptists.

Yes, all manner of aberrant groups have initially claimed to be just 'Reformed Baptists'.

 

[Iconoclast]

no one questions that.....the question is....what about living saints on earth...you said

The truth of the Universal church is in he scriptures, and is NOT referring to it being the Church of Rome!

show...THAT...

 

[Jerome]

that is by far the earliest reference I'm aware of to the term 'Reformed Baptist.' Thank you.

On the website of Reformed Baptist historian Tom Chantry:

https://chantrynotes.wordpress.com/2015/03/09/defining-reformed-baptist-again/

a commenter reveals that the term "Reformed Baptist" was

used by the Welsh Baptist preacher J.R. Jones of Ramoth....J.R. Jones, although being more in the camp of Archibald M’Lean and the Scotch Baptist churches, did not want to be referred to either Scotch or English Baptist and called his connection “Bedyddwyr Diwygiedig” or “Reformed Baptist” in Welsh. So this term was being used in the late 1700’s or early 1800’s.

Dictionary of Welsh Biography Jones , John Richard ( 1765 - 1822 ), Sandemanian Baptist minister

John L. Milton of the Reformed Baptist Evangelizing Church in Hull, Yorkshire:

Never heard of him before, I'm afraid, but that is by far the earliest reference I'm aware of to the term 'Reformed Baptist.' Thank you.

I found a journal article about this nineteenth century Reformed Baptist, John L. Milton:

Here is a New Jersey word you will never be able to translate unless you know Southern Italian Dialects or watched the Sopranos, Ready, " Gobba Gool"! I will use it in a sentence..... I like my sub sandwich wit gobba gool, preshute and olive oil. Can you figure dat out?

 

[Bro. James]

Not sure about gobba gool, but we have poboys with a gob of boudan and lots of Tabasco sauce.

Communication is an interesting adventure.

Well, Jesus did state to us in Matthrew 16:18 that his church would withstand gates of Hell, anddon't think that he meant just the 12 there!
Also think that the 3000 saved in Acts were all part of te Church body, and not all in loal churches then!

Yeah, good joke!
As I have said the term 'Reformed' has never been patented or copyrighted, so it's open to abuse.
Among Jews, 'Reformed Judaism' is the ultra-liberal variety. The conservatives are called 'orthodox.'

if you cannot do it...and it is clear you cannot, then stop posting it...Biblicist challenged you several times and you still cannot do it...neither of these verses show it at all...

Where on earth do they meet?
Who are the deacons?
When do they practice church discipline?
How often do they take the Lords supper?

Can you show how any such thing exists?.....

Let me try this....

Is the kingdom of God different or the same as the church of God?

If it is indeed different explain the difference.

The Kingdom of God/Heaven is the total sphere of the rule of God, while the Church is part of it, but nor all of that! Th Kingdom is rigt now in his workd thu His curch, but when Jesus returns, will extend to all of the Earth!
