    Have to define that term, as I am a Calvinist Baptist who holds to the 1689 Confession, but not into all Reformed theology proper!

    Would you see yourself more as like a Macarthur in doctrines, or maybe a Spurgeon then?

    Very much John MacArthur. He and I would agree on 99% of doctrinal issues - very calvinistic in doctrines of grace, very dispensational hermeneutic, very pre-trib/pre-mill (won't even eat Post Toasties).

    Very much Spurgeon, except I don't smoke cigars. :) Separatist and see the "down-grade" eating away at even the most fundamental Baptist movements today as well.

    Well Dr. Bob, my friend meter jumped up a couple of notches knowing you are very calvinistic in doctrines of grace and it jumped up a couple more when you said yer a Spurgeon man, like myself... Now we know you don't smoke cigars but I think you would look quite dashing in a Spurgeon beard... Brother Glen:D

    You and Spurgeon would agree to disagree on the future, as think he was a historical premil!

    The church has wrestled with correct interpretation of many doctrines over the centuries.

    66 books of the Bible at Nicea
    Arian/Deity of Christ
    Icons/Idols in the Great Schism
    Music/Psalms and instruments
    Salvation by grace was big in Reformation era
    Believers Baptism in the second wave of Reformation 1600
    Missions in 1800's
    Eschatology was huge in late 1800's (Spurgeon a little early in the debate)
    Inspiration in 1950's
    Ecumenicism

    These doctrines were honed and better codified thru these. I don't discount Dispensational pre-mill because it was not codified until the past 150 years, any more than discounting salvation by grace alone codified in the Reformation

    Yes, they were and thankfully people are studying themselves into the historic position as the truth of scripture.

    I am a Particular (Reformed) Baptist ... A TULIP 5-pointer, a Credobaptist and a fan of Spurgeon.

    [I actually have no opinion on Escatology except a firm conviction that Jesus IS coming back. I am content to allow God to surprise me with the details.]

    Our official position of the church is exactly that (reflected in 1644/1689 Confessions) - Jesus is coming back and there will be a final judgment and reckoning. I honestly share MY pre-trib/pre-mill position since I know bits and pieces will come out in the songs we sing, verses we read and even in parts of sermons. Not "hiding" it. But openly avow that this is NOT as issue on which our church demands fidelity to some view or another.

    So that said, turn in our church hymnal to these non-doctrinal, non-divisive songs . . .

    Welcome to the forum, Zachary! :) I call myself a Reformed Baptist, though I can't boast a fine Reformed beard like yours. However, my hair was beginning to resemble that of John Owen before the barbers went back to work in Britain a week or two ago. :eek:

    The fun points in reformed circles seem to be hinge on how one defines just how new the New Covenant was, and relationship between Israel and Church!

    My son is now a lance Corporal in the Marines, and doubt any of us here would like his hair cut!

    Looks like he did - thus it is Biblical to wear Bow Ties

    So is that why you wore red bow ties as a 7 year old - because it made you a man?
