Stop being so silly! The Reformers rescued millions of people from the errors of Romanism, often at the cost of their own lives.

You do nothing of the kind, and never have whilst I have been on this forum. You follow your own mind, which has shown itself time and time again to be insufficient for the job. You cannot bring a single piece of Scripture to bear to prove your silly and offensive allegations.

I'm glad that you agree with me. Do you also agree that one solitary usage of 'Reformed' in the whole of the WCF is by no means sufficient to prove anything?

This is your definition of "soul liberty," is it? If a mormon decided to re-form Mormon theology according to Scripture you would end up with Reformed Mormonism that contained a lot of error, Scripture interpreted through Mormon theology, and areas that were closer to the Bible than than...

Welcome, Mur. Matthew 28:18-20 teaches that disciples of the Lord Jesus should be baptized when they become disciples, so you should find a church that will do that for you, though the leaders will want to check first that you understand what you are doing.

No. It means that people claim to be followers of Christ. JWs and Mormons claim to be Christians. The Reformed confessions, especially the 1689, SHOW that people are followers of Christ. No. That was what Luther attempted to do, and ended up with a partial reformation. The Reformed...

A quick check (I may have missed something) through your very helpful tabular comparison revealed to me only one place where the WCF used the word 'Reformed,' and you are right that the 1689 Confession did not follow it (cf. WCF XXIV:3; LBCF (1689) XXV:3). I am not sure what conclusions can be...

The term 'Reformed Baptist' is as recent as the 1960s. Before that, Baptists who held to the Doctrines of Grace and the 1689 Confession (like Keach, Gill or Spurgeon) would have called themselves 'Particular Baptists.' The term was coined by Walt Chantry and Welshman Geoff Thomas when they...

Hebrews 9:27. 'And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after that the judgment.' Matt. 25:46. "And these will go away into everlasting [Gk. 'aionios'] punishment, but the righteous into eternal [Gk. 'aionios'] life." Luke 13:28 etc. "There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Adolf Hitler was baptized into the church of Rome, and Stalin into the Russian 'Orthodox' church. Just saying.

Not too hard. Acts 2:41.

The trouble is that you have to ignore the Bible's own teaching to try and establish your theory. The apostasy was already about in the time of the apostles (2 Cor. 11:3-4, 13-15; Gal. 1:6-9; Col. 2:4, 8, 16-18; 1 Timothy 1:3; 2 Timothy 4:10, 14; 2 John 7; Jude 4 and pretty much the whole...

This is your fifth post on this thread without a single word of Scripture. Just saying (Proverbs 18:2).

This is true. One of te most dispiriting things on this forum is to see page after page of men's opinions without a scripture to back them up. I'm finished again on this board - for the time being at least - but if the mods wanted to do something constructive they could delete posts when people...

I think you really know that doesn't work. If it were the case, our Lord would have said, "You are not My sheep because you do not believe.

He must have done because He saved me. A better translation is, "For this is how God loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.' With this I absolutely agree. Why wouldn't I? It's Scripture. I think he would...

Actually, you don't, because if you did you would have seen verse 8: 'That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed. But in fact your argument is not with me, but with the Apostle Paul, because he...

That is your view but it is not mine. God does not say, "I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I have dragged you kicking and screaming;" He says "I have loved you with and everlasting love, therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you." For years I resisted God and His...

So what do you do with Romans 9:13-16? Ignore it, or try to explain it away? The remakable thing in Romans 9:13 is that God should have loved Jacob.

The Bible teaches that God is kind to the unthankful and evil (Luke 6:35). It teaches that He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust (Matt. 5:45). If you believe that that constitutes love on the part of God, then God most certainly loves...
