Status of SBC Today?

But then particular baptists will be shortened to "Parties," and that just sounds like too much fun.


But in seriousness, GB and PB seems adequate.

 

I am fine with General or "particlaries"

 

And I apologize for calling you sanctimonious.

 

What are you going to do with the "Calvinist" sub forum?

 

Yep, would be Reformed Baptists and Presbyterians both in there!

 

I am not a Presbyterian and don’t mind the Calvinist label at all. In fact, I use it myself. Gives ppl a target to aim at.

 

I don't disdain the term.

 

The problem here is that Scripture never condones any type of revenge, which is what you are giving a thumbs-up to. I'm fairly certain what is being advocated here would not pass the so-called "Golden Rule" test. That said, I would be saying the same thing to a Calvinist (or Particular, or whatever we're calling us now) who was advocating or condoning what you are here.

Many have talked about a "Vast Calvinist Conspiracy," but none really exists. It is a red herring. We do not sit in rooms filled with cigar smoke and stout trying to figure out new and amazing ways to be rid of the Arminian plague. Most of us do not consider Arminianism a "plague."

The painting of us Calvinists as a nefarious group gives the anti-Calvinists an excuse (no matter how un-Biblical) to treat us in ways that simply are not Christian.

Yes, and the "caged" whatever should be called-out too, as I said.

We Calvinists are not nearly as nefarious as our critics make us out to be!

 

Nor were Baptists.

 

That’s another conversation... are you in agreement with the Landmark people
