Hello, my name is Phil Derksen.

In common parlance I would be called a Reformed Baptist in many respects, but I prefer to identify simply as a Bible believing Christian. I have a broad interest in all matters theological, as well as in church history. The most in-depth study I have conducted and written on is the subject of baptism, and particularly mode. This investigation was triggered years ago upon seeing such dogmatic claims being made by immersionists and non-immersionists alike. It looks like it has maybe been a while since someone posted here on this topic but, in addition to chiming in on various threads from time to time, I will perhaps start one at some point and see what interest there may (or may not...) be. Pax.
