1. I believe in the one true and living God, Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost and these three are one.
2. I believe the Old and New Testament Scriptures are the written word of God and they are the only rule of our faith and practice.
3. I believe in the doctrine of election by grace
4. I believe the doctrine of original sin, and man’s impotency to rescue himself from the fallen state he is in by nature by his own freewill ability.
5. I believe that sinners are called converted, regenerated and sanctified by the Holy Spirit and all are so regenerated and born again by the spirit of God shall never fall finally away.
6. I believe sinners are justified in the sight of God only by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ.
7. I believe that Baptism, the Lord's Supper, and feet washing are ordinances of Jesus Christ and that true believers are the only proper subjects of these ordinances, and we believe the only true mode of baptism is by immersion.
8. I believe in the resurrection of the dead and general judgment and that the joys of the righteous and the punishment of the wicked will be eternal.
What do all these things make me? A sinner saved by the grace of God through the imputed righteous of Jesus Christ made manifest as the perfect sacriface on Calvery's hill. As for the labels above I really don't know where this fits in but for me it identifies me as an Old Regular Babtist.
A fellow servant in Christ

So, I guess in terms of labels, I am a one who is "undecided" (some would say a "sitter-on-the-fence" and I accept that label but don't endorse it).
Also as being one who sits on the sidelines watching the sparring brethren (I am a Mixed Martial Arts [MMA] fan) but not partcipating.

I'm beginning to like the acronym which apparently was coined by somebody here on the Baptist Board. Since I hold to the Doctrines of Grace (another way of saying Calvinism), I think I am going to formally adopt the label: DoG.
`You are now officially labeled a MugWump.
That's somebody who sits on the fence with his mug on one side and his wump on the other
LOL! Ok I'm a MW.

Being called "Dog" would not be my preference.I'll stick with the term 'Calvinist' despite all the trash that has and shall be thrown at it.

We spend a lt of time telling others what we do not believe. That we should not be labled names other people give us in theology. I taught it would be good to allow people to place their own labels on what they believe. Now many do not like labels. I can understand this. But this maybe helpful for every one, to let others know just where you stand. Below you will find a list of theology groups.
1) Hyper-Calvinist
2) Calvinist
3) Arminian
4) semi-Pelagian/hyper-Arminian
5) Pelagian
Where would the poster place their theology?
I understand that some will not take on a label here. For those I would sak you to say something like this...
OK. But it's DoG. Not Dog.
