I think a more pertinent subject in other parts of the forum would be for the truly confession Baptists who practice the Lord's Day Sabbath. No shopping. No recreation. No gas stations. No sports. No restaurants. Just a day given over to worshiping Christ publicly and privately.

If your goal is to use this "doctorate" to teach, then why even bother with a DMin as its purpose is not research but ministry? I am not a fan of the DMin since most guys get it so they can have "dr." in front of their name. I've only met a few DMins worthy of "doctor" such and such. In short...

I keep the Lord's Day as Christian Sabbath according to the Puritan view found in the WCF/2LCF. The commandments of the Lord are not burdensome. And I call the Sabbath a delight. The entire day is dedicated to resting from worldly employments and recreation (including watching sports on TV) to...

I hope if pastoral ministry is your calling, you rethink your "supposed to do not what I want to do" bit. Read 1 Tim. 3:1.

Fellow confessional RB here. Where are all the RB here located? I'm in Roanoke, VA.

I don't really know either school since they aren't accredited. But if your goal is ministry and self-improvement, then these options exist for this very reason.

As always with these discussions... always... what do you plan to do with the degree?

So as an update, I'm nearly through my first semester at Capital Seminary. Very impressed w/ it and Lancaster Bible College. I would put Capital as the Dallas Seminary of the east coast. It is not degree mill by any stretch! Here is the book list for my upcoming OT backgrounds class: Hallo...

I was just at LU using their library (again). They are all for CCW. So I wore my S&W proudly albeit hidden under my sweater hoping that a few people might even notice it... b/c I could! I've never felt safer on a college campus. PS. On my way home, we had to stop by the mall. New sign on door...

Sometimes that's not even enough.

I'm inclined to agree... if the idea is that we need to get our guys w/ reformed doctrine in the non-reformed churches. I like to think better of these people and think there is a different reason for this.

I bet you would have said this to an OT prophet too. Sometimes, they are both!

To what end?

Helpful, thanks. The stats were what I figured.

If you really want to go there... then fine. Yes the thief is ruled out... b/c he never had an opportunity for either baptism OR Lord's Supper. But I am positive that the truly converted and regenerated would be obedient to the positive commands of the Law of the New Covenant (though the...

If you could fix the spelling and grammar, that way I know precisely what you are asking and can answer correctly.

No, "necessary evidence of one's faith and repentance" as I said.

Are you truly saved if you refuse to be obedient and thus unrepentant of sin? That is the logic in these confessions. One who is saved is one who is repentant. One who is repentant is one who is obedient. One who is obedient is one who obeys the command to be baptized. In this case, baptism is a...

The membership may be misleading. Baptism is required for membership. But it does not say, I do not believe, that membership is required for Lord's Supper. Just to clarify.
