JM, Dumb, by no means. I myself use to be a Baptist too. The problem is connecting the dots in the proper order. This can be the result of the lack of proper exegesis, stubbornness, etc. No one interprets Scripture in a vacuum (tabula rasa -blank slate). We all put glasses on of some kind -...

Christ died sufficiently for all, but efficiently ONLY for the elect (SFA) is not the same as universalism, which could be stated as sufficient and efficient for all (i.e. even reprobates like Judas are saved, et. al.). SFA is error, but better than universalism. While they still affirm...

1 Corinthians 1:12 says, "What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ."" Those baptized in the wilderness were following Moses (1 Cor. 10:1-2). So, Paul's argument in 1 Cor. 10 does not begin in 1...

Pierre Du Moulin's, La philosophie françoise de Pierre Du Moulin. Elements de logique, 1621, would flesh out some of his findings. However, it is in French (I have not looked for an English copy) - http://www.prdl.org/author_view.php?a_id=253&type=Philosophy Muller though uses him extensively...

Pierre du Moulin writes of some major differences between Amyraldianism and Covenant Calvinism in the areas of: (1) it changes the very nature of God, (2) the Law and of the Gospel, (3) it makes God changeable and hesitant in his decisions and incapable of bringing his plans effectually to pass...

As far as some audios covering some of the material of which you inquire, I would suggest Bruce Waltke. Lecture series on - Lesson in Proverbs: http://media.thirdmill.org/mp3-16/Waltke_Tape2a.mp3 http://media.thirdmill.org/mp3-16/Waltke_Tape3.mp3...

Hedrick is correct. We get several questions a week regarding this issue. The mere fact that you are asking the question though indicates that you probably do have faith (that is if by the phrase "because the majority of the time, I don't believe" you mean that you sin more than you think you...

Iosias, I hope and pray God gives you repentance unto the acknowledging of the truth (2 Tim. 2:24-26), otherwise, your heresies are ever before you. Read carefully Iosias. While I thank you for providing the fuller quote, no where do either Trueman, Muller, Turrentin, or Owen say that...

Amyraldianism is Modified-Calvinism - not pure Calvinism. It is non-Reformed. If pure Calvinism is compared to H2O - living water - then Amyraldianism is H2 - without the living component of "oxygen" - a non-living water - one that leads to death; not life. Amyraldianism is an false doctrine...

Society's so-called legal abortions (murder) or back-street abortions (murder) is sin either way. Either way it is exalting the word of man over the word of God (cf. Isa 8:20; Acts 4:19; 5:29). "You shall not murder" (Exod. 20:13). "For out of the heart come evil thoughts--murder, adultery...

Why didn't you quote Murray in context? Why didn't you quote the sentence immediately before the one you selected? :scratch: Thus, Murray was speaking of "Common Grace" not "Saving Grace." :idea: You can attempt to take one element from the WCF from its fuller context to make a point, but...

What matters is what something "is", not what it "calls" itself. Just because a "dog" has 4 legs and a head, does not mean it should call itself a "frog." They may have some similarities, but a frog is still a frog and a dog is still a dog. Just because a person (or even a denomination, etc.)...

Since, I quoted Foster himself and even quoted a Quaker article to reveal some of the doctrines being subscribed to I do not see how that is misreading. Perhaps you would like to reveal to us how both the article and Foster's words themselves are in full agreement with Reformed Theology? Though...

Quakerism and Refomed Theology do not mix well. Among others, Quakers reject biblical doctrines such as: (1) total depravity instead claiming that all men have “a spark of divinity” in them and mankind is neutral toward good and evil, (2) Calvinism's teaching of limited atonement...

If you enjoy Neo-Gnosticism, Emergent Church type literature that confuses works and grace, and justification and sanctification. Foster is a Quaker, or a member of The Religious Society of Friends. He believes in Quaker pietistic mysticism which is not Reformed Theology! (not sure why you are...

AMR is correct about the PCA and the HS. As to the gifts, I will expand upon what he said as there are a variety of views in the PCA - from my last report most are still cessationalists - but many who are not are still conservative, etc. - Have the Gifts of the Spirit Ceased?

On the doctrine of creation PCA pastors and members are all over the place. As far as pastors, Tim Keller who has a rather large church subscribes to evolutionary creation - Home | BioLogos. Bruce Waltke who use to teach at Reformed Theological Seminary and is now at Knox and Mark Futato (RTS)...

I am not sure if this is the same Bill Price you know or not, but it is a fairly accurate account of OP. You can see the whole set of pots over at the Puritan Board. Oneness Pentecostalism Heresies As far as Greg Boyd, he like Clark Pinnock is an open theist. This is heresy. The ever-guessing...

Predestination and election are "decrees." Predestination and Foreknowledge: Are People Predestined to Heaven and Hell? I am glad you are convinced of Total Depravity. The Scripture states that we are dead in trespasses and sin (Eph. 2:1-3). Mind us before Christ, we are blind, and cannot see...
