Having said that, I'll believe that these young Calvinists are not out to take over our churches, but are ready to follow the Great Commission, when I see some of them come on out to the mission field and start churches. Where are the Reformed Baptist mission boards? There are none to my knowledge, though a google search will turn up a very few missionaries that say they are Reformed Baptist. Years ago there was a Reformed Baptist in Japan down on the island of Shikoku, but he's been gone for years.

You speak of what you do not know. There are many fine Reformed Baptist missionaries. Grace Baptist Mission is a British missionary society with a fine record in many countries over many years. http://www.gbm.org.uk/

Trevor and Teresa Johnson are American RB missionaries in deepest Papua. Their family blog is http://www.tandtfamily.blogspot.com/

I thank God for these missionaries. But did you realize that I wrote that four years ago? And someone answered this particular statement four years ago?

That's the problem with resurrection (of threads, that is. I'm no Sadducee! ) It's so easy, unless one happens to have seen Bobinky's post 53, to miss the "2007" above the earlier posts.

Anyway, it's good that Steve mentioned Grace Baptist Mission, as it celebrates its 150th "birthday" this year.

150 years is a tremendous record for a mission board. My board, Baptist World Mission, will celebrate our 50th anniversary in October, and we're excited to be in the States for that. But then to think that Grace Baptist Mission was going for 100 years when my board started is unreal!

No I didn't realise that. Oops! Sorry!

However, perhaps I might ask if the four years have caused you to modify your opinion at all?

Actually, if you will read the posts again it will be obvious that I was informed by the answer to my post.

But I have to say, there are still no Reformed Baptist missionaries in Japan.

I'm afraid Calvinists are indeed causing trouble in IFB churches (and I don't mean the so-called IFBx crowd). On our last furlough we heard what is happening in Illinois. Unfortunately there is a type of young Calvinist that believes all Baptists simply must agree with them or they will know the reason why!

To ReformedBaptist: On another thread (you know which one) I mentioned this crowd of young Calvinists as full of vim, vigor and venom, and to tell the truth, I felt your opening gambit on that thread was venom. What I've seen from you since has been gracious and reasoned. Keep up the good work.

Having said that, I'll believe that these young Calvinists are not out to take over our churches, but are ready to follow the Great Commission, when I see some of them come on out to the mission field and start churches.

Might I suggest that they are -- in droves? You probably will not accept that, for you tend to have eyes only for your own, but it is true. I have a fridge full of pictures of "Calvinists" who are on the field all over the world.

I think it's wonderful that you have prayer cards of missionaries on your fridge, and I'm sure you pray for them regularly. We missionaries could not work for Christ without people holding the ropes as we go down into the hole. (The metaphor is from Calvinist missionary William Carey.)

But please, pay attention! I just posted to Martin M. that this statement was made 4 years ago, was answered at that time, and that I was informed by the answer!

Folks, this is the third time in recent days that I have answered this four year old post. I'm tired of this. Read the thread, pay attention. I'll not be answering it again.

Okay, JoJ, this is a little testy.

Yeah, you're right. I must missed my nap.

Well, just be nicer.

Okay. Sorry. :saint:

I know it is time for a furlough when a missionary starts having internet conversations with themselves- LOL!

This term has been over six years. We start furlough in a month.

It's about time, JoJ.

No, no, not you, you're talking to Mexdeaf.
