You are very blessed. My nearest Reformed Baptist church is 50 - 60 miles away.

Dave, the church isn’t reformed, it’s primitive Baptist in Florida and I reside in Jersey. Still I can get sermons on line though I’d like to be there. With my wife’s failing health ( I’m in a hospital as we speak with her). BTW, I also like Alister Begg and you can get both his weekly sermons and daily messages (very good)

I would attend either if local. I study both, however.

Are you saying that Matthew 28 was tampered with and Jesus never commissioned his disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit? Do you have textual documentation for this tampering, which continues in all modern English translations of the Bible?

In Acts, they interpreted Jesus as meaning his name is the name (singular) of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Catholics changed it to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and took many people for a ride.

There is no such thing as 4 point Calvinism.
You may agree with only 4 points of TULIP as shared by the Council of Dort, but that doesn't make you a 4 point Calvinist. That just makes you a 4 point believer regarding soteriology.

The common use is 4 point Calvinist when sporting universal atonement. =Amyraldianism

I honestly wonder how many of us here on this board are men who were called to the ministry, and who, for whatever reason, are not in it, and are now just venting off our pet hiccups in this board, trying to feel like we're doing the work of God...

Florida, New Jersey......, tomato, tomahto.

We are attending church BUT no socialization, no singing (the people on stage can sing to the cameras), no shaking hands, no sitting close to others. Might as well just watch it on TV.

Except my wife always has to work the nursery.

The Catholics changed it when the trinitarian issues began emerging. But the early Church always baptized believers by immersion in water in the Name of Jesus Christ. Acts proves this. Jesus Christ is the name of the Trinity as depicted in the Ecumenical Creeds.

The early church also baptized folks in the nude.

No thank you.

Acts taught us how to baptize, not the Catholics. Baptists should know this better than anyone else.

From Matthew:
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

It isn’t a matter of following Catholic practices, it is a matter of following Scripture.

You are not answering the question regarding Matthew 28. Are you saying the Roman Catholic Church changed the wording of Jesus in Matthew 28?
In Acts 2, Peter is not proclaiming a ceremonial methodology for water baptism.

Most likely not.. I've gained weight, which has advantages (I don't have to rent tubes going down a river because I have one built in; it gives me something to rest my ice cream bowl on, etc.).

No, they changed the baptismal formula from the Acts model to their model. We baptists swallowed it and didn't know it until some of us started questioning it.

But how did the Apostles interpret this? They baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. = you do not understand scripture in this matter.
