Bible versions in the Cal v Arm debate.

Calvinist Baptist, use Nas/Esv majority of the time, sometimes 1984 Niv!

 

I'm Calvinist, and use the updated NIV Bible translation (2011).

 

I know this is going to be a shock to most of you but I am...dare I say it...a Calvinist. Please take a moment to compose yourself. Are you OK now? Great.

I have been using the New American Standard Version (1997 edition) a full 20 years before I identified as a Calvinist.

 

I thought that you were a reformed Baptist?

 

Reformed Baptists are Calvinists, so it is possible to be both.

 

Just curious,do you hold to the 1689 Confession, and all of Covenant theology, such as worship and Sabbath keeping?

 

I do subscribe to the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of faith and I am a covenantal Baptist. I say as much in my signature line. I do believe in the Regulative Principle of Worship. I prefer the term "Lord's Day" to "Sabbath" but I do not get too hung up on the terminology. I am in agreement with chapter 22 of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, although I admit I sometimes struggle in this area.

 

Most definitely Calvinist as it agrees according to the scriptures and have no issues with the Reformed Church, but I dont go to a reformed church. I tend to like the NKJV, but have no problem with any traditional version. I dont like some very modern translations. God's will was done in establishing the Reformation, and God does not change His mind, so why would reformed ideas now be wrong in God's eye?

If there was no reformation or Calvanism, or Lutheranism, you would perhaps all be Catholic.

 

I was just seeking to clarify, as have found that there are both calvinist abd reformed baptists, and that sometimesd are disagreement in certain areas of theology!

 

Oh, no doubt. There are Calvinistic Baptists who are Dispensationalists, non-Confessional and non-Regulative Principle. That is part of being a Baptist. Baptists have more flavors than Baskin Robbins.
