Featured Are there any Bible teachers you fully agree with.

I hope we never find a teacher we completely agree with.

 

I have a few that I find highly led by the Lord in their teachings. And I read them and refer to them.

But even with my faves, I find that every now and again, I have to say, "What?!?!?"

So no......no man or woman who writes uninspired teachings is 100% on the mark.

 

Sometimes, I even disagree with myself

Did I say that??? Did I do that???

 

I had someone in my church tell me - You are absolutely right -.........(all the time)

What would you tell that individual?

 

I do agree with 100% with me. And of course Jesus. I agree 99.9% with @Salty , but only when he is agreeing with me....and Jesus.

 

??? Not even me?

 

If you think about it, that is really just "name dropping". Spurgeon did not believe (or, if he did he hid it from his congregation) many of Calvin's ideas expressed in the Institutions (for example, the role of the Church, the role of government, the covenantal kinship between circumcision and baptism). He also did not preach what Augustine held (Augustine's view of the Cross quickly comes to mind).

 

I know that they are a 19th Century denomination that began in Georgia. I know they separated from other Baptists primarily over Calvinism and mission organizations.

Primitive Baptists are called "primitive" not because they are an older Baptist sect but because they viewed non-Calvinistic Baptists as a newer sect (in reality, non-Calvinistic Baptists existed before Calvinistic Baptists).

And I know that they do not like being called "Calvinists", so I used "Calvinistic".

And I know they have been declining while Missionary Baptists (their theological rival) has grown.
