    What did I say? Why not address my posted views. Why ask endless questions to insinuate falsehood.

    How about accepting the Bible as written. Ransom for All, God desires all people to be saved, Chosen for Salvation through or by reason of faith in the truth.

    Non-answer. Some think their questions should be answered but they do not need to treat others in the same way.

    That is not a Baptist Distinctive. At least not as they were taught in my Baptist Polity and History classes at Maranatha Baptist Bible College by Dr. Richard Weeks.

    Right, but just what is the first and basic and fundamental distinctive as taught by Maranatha Baptist Bible College?


    Baptist Distinctives
    Baptist

    Maranatha stands without apology for the Baptist distinctives. Baptistic principles and polity are taught in the classroom and practiced in the personal ministries of each faculty member.

    Biblical

    Maranatha believes in verbal, plenary inspiration. The Bible is the sole authority for faith and practice and is inerrant in all matters it addresses. The literal, historical-grammatical approach to the interpretation of God’s Word is emphasized through the entire curriculum. ​

    And here again is what I said, "How about accepting the Bible as written. Ransom for All, God desires all people to be saved, Chosen for Salvation through or by reason of faith in the truth.

    As taught by Dr. Richard Weeks one of MBBC's founders the Distintictives are:
    Bible - The only rule for Faith and Practice.
    Regenerate/Immersed Church membership
    Autonomy and Independence of the Local Church
    Priesthood of the Believer
    Separation of Church and State
    Immersion of Believers and Commemoration of the Lord's Supper the only two Ordinances
    Separation Ethical
    Separation Ecclesiastical

    Not sure what is being claimed. I quoted from the school's webcite, concerning the first distinctive. Is Squire Robertsson repudiating the quoted view, i.e. a literal approach to interpretation, thus all means all and not some. If so limited atonement cannot be a baptist distinctive based on a literal interpretation.

    Here it is again:
    And here again is what I said, "How about accepting the Bible as written. Ransom for All, God desires all people to be saved, Chosen for Salvation through or by reason of faith in the truth.​

    The stand you cite is that of Maranatha Baptist University. It reflects the school's soteriology. However, that does not make it a Baptist distinctive.

    You give non-answers no mater what forum. But the latest question I posed for you was concerning Psalm 8. Do verses 6 to 8 refer to Christ or mankind? It is either one or the other. You could rev up the coal fires of your mind by sorting out your thoughts. "I believe it refers to ______, because____ ____ ____."
    But you never do that.

    So even though I specified verses 6 to 8 of that Psalm your "answers" have been :

    "Psalm was speaking of the Messiah that was to come!"

    "That was Jesus in the Psalms."

    "Refers to the Son of man as a messianic figure to come!"

    Those are completely unsatisfactory 'answers.' You don't do homework. You rely on others and never buckle down to do it yourself. Quote the verses and come up with something of substance. Merely repeating a stock phrase does not cut it.

    Why do you always avoid, and just answer "taint so:, or else that calvinism is wrong? Do we hold and teach a false Gospel then?

    Those are non Cals talking points, but they were NEVER required to be held in order to be seen as being a Baptist! Can you give to us ANY Baptist in history that held to that as you do?

    Those are YOUR interpretations of what the Bible teaches only, and not binding to all Baptists!

    NOTHING has ever been listed regarding how one must view Sotierology, other then must hold to trinity, Cross of Christ, saved by faith alone thru grace alone, and resurrection!

    I hold that the Psalm was referring to Jesus as being the Son of man! A Messianic one

    Deal with what I asked you O blind one. Deal with verses 6 through 8.
