Dr. Michael Barrett will be speaking at BJU this year. BJU is not Reformed nor Calvinist, although there are Calvinists that attend there/work there. When I attended BJU from 2007-2009 students were not allowed to attend churches outside of the BJU church list which included all 9 Marks Calvinist churches in the area because I believe the separating lines was over music. Also BJU holds to a Teetotalist view on alcohol, yet many Reformed do not so can anyone elaborate on why BJU would welcome a professor from a Reformed College?

That PRTS bio says Barrett taught at BJU for almost 30 years. So I reckon he must get along alright with the administration there.

You beat me to the punch. Yes, he was professor of Ancient languages and Old Testament theology and interpretation. He's a good guy. I recommend his sermons and books.

There have been exceptional Calvinists on the faculty there, including historin David O. Beale. And of course, a favorite of mine --Dr. Edward Panosian, who taught Church History for half a century at BJU.

I had David Beale in a history class. A history scholar indeed.

The speaker mentioned is a minister with the fundamentalist Free Presbyterians, with which BJU has a long history of fellowship. Free Presbyterians regularly speak at the BJU Bible Conference.

And no, he doesn't agree with you on booze.

Several area churches are listed on both the 9Marks and BJU lists.
As you have been told before, the 9Marks church search list is not exclusively Calvinist.

No it is not, but not all 9 Marks churches are on the BJU list.

Ken Gentry is a Presbyterian and wrote the book God gave wine, but he must be a different type of Presbyterian.

Most conservative Presbyterians believe that drinking is perfectly acceptable, but drunkedness is forbidden by the Scriptures. There of couse may be a number of folks within these Reformed denominations that do not drink alcohol at all. The Bible Presbyterians have it almost as an article of faith not to drink.
