Do we have any Reformed Baptists on our site now then?

I don't post much anymore but yes. I consider myself "Calvinistic" and most Baptists I know do as well. Most Baptists like Spurgeon and Bunyan and consider Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress as near to being inspired as non scripture can be. The recent wrangling over the more difficult metaphysical points of soteriology is unfortunate in my opinion and it just confuses people and creates animosity where there really is no need.

Greetings brother @JesusFan. Thank you for your question and it is an interesting topic.
I have often heard it asserted by our Presbyterian brothers and sisters that a Baptist can't technically be called "reformed" because of the issue of baptizing infants into the new covenant. However one lands on that side of the debate, I've never called myself "reformed" or "calvinist" or anything other than just a Christian. However, I have read the 1689 London Baptist Confession of faith and I do not see anything in that document that I would disagree with.
