Over the years there have been many within Baptist churches that use innocent "Bible studies" slanted to teach doctrine/practice that might be contrary to the doctrinal statement of a church. This is a way Satan uses to attack the "pillar and ground of the truth", the local assembly of...

I see. Many Primitive Baptists hold to 'double predestination". An old college roommate drifted that way and tried to judge me for "giving the Gospel indiscriminantly", Said I was "Casting pearls before swine". No invitation. No evangelism. No Sunday school or Bible clubs. Don't even share the...

I use other words than "foolish". That is too kind of label for such error.

All "Sovereign Grace Baptists" I know would be biblical 5-point calvinists, NOT "hyper" (double predestination, non-evangelistic). We agree with Jonah that "salvation is of the Lord". We hold to the truth that God elects MEN for salvation and also elects MEANS for salvation - preaching...

Welcome - take a minute and tell us about yourself and your journey with the Lord

In teaching NT Introduction to seminary students, we did a study on possible authorship of Hebrews. Pre-computer, but probably in a file and I will search for it. Had some good possibilities (Barnabas by far the leading candidate). All agreed on one thing: it couldn't be Paul. Sadly, saved421...

"Service connected" is vague wording, bro. Morning service or Evening service? ;)

Looks like great quality. Trust you will have years of enjoyment!

This is an "other religions" forum on a Baptist Board, so people here may believe what they want and answer to God. Agree that it is hard for me to stand solely on the New Testament rather than on fallible men who have gone hither and yon away from the simple inspired imperatives of God. The...

The early church baptized believers only upon their personal repentance and faith. I truly am saddened that later Christians tried to make salvation by magic water a "doctrine". Not in the Bible. EVERY New Testament example was people "believed" and then "baptized". EVERY one. No baby...

Interesting

Simple logical examination of Scripture, NOT equating any man-made policy 1. Nowhere is a single infant baptized in the Bible. None. Do you need a list of every NT example? 2. All who were baptized were believers who had repented and trusted the Gospel and voluntarily chosen to be baptized...

You do realize that there were those throughout the past 2000 years who did not think sprinkling babies with magic water saved them. right? Always been truly born again and truly baptized believers (albeit a small minority) who did not follow the "church" mandates. Always hated and vilified by...

Most Baptist churches (in the North) will accept believer's baptism by immersion from another church of "like faith". We would not accept such act from a non-trinitarian cult (like Jesus Only baptism of Oneness Pentecostal) or from a church that taught immersion was part of earning salvation...

No clue. We Sovereign Grace Baptists have licensure and ordination, but differ from Primitives. We do hold the same soteriology and sovereignty of God in salvation (particular Baptists, rather than general).
