It is great to be back and to recognize the names of some who are still here! I've been gone a while...... In answer to the OP I call myself 'reformed baptist' and believe in credo baptism. I also call myself Calvinist, Reformed, Baptist, Christian and cling to the doctrines of grace, the T U...

My Augustine CD came in a pak including Pilgrim's Progress, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. Another one which I dont recall right now. LOL I've listened to Augustine and Pilgrim's Progress numerous times and love them and also love McLean's voice.

Just realize there is only one truth and it is fine as the edge of a razor blade and when we veer to the left or the right we have left the truth. God's truth in scripture is absolute.

I'm presently reading Puritan Reformed Spirituality by Joel Beeke and am really enjoying it! It is presently challenging me about the Sabbath and the more I read the more I'm inclined to return to the belief in my childhood when we fully honored the Lord's Day! Yes, Christ is my Sabbath but...

I just got John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion and plan to dig in soon as I finish my current book by Joel Beeke! Wonderful to have such great books available to teach and encourage us!

How could an animal be in heaven when they have no soul, no regeneration, salvation or holiness. They serve a wonderful purpose here on earth as pets but no where does scripture say they have an hereafter.

I too object to 'pictures' of Christ and find them blasphemous! Christ is wholly man and wholly God and there is no way to capture His deity. It is also a breach of the second commandment. It is so prevalent today that it would seem almost impossible to stop seeing those drawings. 'Pictures'...

Ephesians 2:1-3 2 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted...

While a person is unregenerate he cannot choose what is pleasing to God but only according to his nature. He is powerless to reach or please God in any way until and unless God does a work of regeneration in his heart. In the Ordo Salutis, the order of salvation, a man is first called and his...

No. Christ had two natures as He was fully man and fully God. He was born of a human mother but had none of the sin which would have been from a human father as He was conceived by the Holy Spirit.

2 Cor 5:21 ' For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.' It is by imputation.

Oh my, thanks so much for such fantastic good wishes! I have been so blessed and have so much to give thanks for, but most specially for being guided to the doctrines of grace! If you know Him you are so very blessed as the whole world lies in darkness!
