What do Baptist’s Know

Not as a gotcha moment but rather a comprehensive understanding on Baptist doctrines.

I never heard of it, but I have to ask ... Is the “Kingdom of God Program” really a “doctrine” of any type, let alone a Baptist doctrine?

Are you a Baptist?
The kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God are one and the same.

Definition of "Program" (from Merriam-Webster)

1 [Late Latin programma, from Greek] : a public notice
2a : a brief usually printed outline of the order to be followed, of the features to be presented, and the persons participating (as in a public performance)
b : the performance of a program especially : a performance broadcast on radio or television
3 : a plan or system under which action may be taken toward a goal
4 : curriculum
5 : prospectus, syllabus
6a : a sequence of coded instructions that can be inserted into a mechanism (such as a computer)
b dated : a complete plan for solving a problem by the use of a mechanism (such as a computer) that includes both instructions to be inserted into the mechanism and plans for human activities such as interpreting output
c : the genes or sequences of DNA or RNA that are part of an organism or cell and encode or determine a process, trait, or behavior … a mouse in which a tiny but crucial bit of the genetic program has been eliminated.— Bruce Fellman also : a process, trait, or behavior determined by or as if by the genetic material of an organism Orb webs are marvels of geometry and construction. They are built according to a complex behavioral program, which is highly flexible in some respects and very precise in others. — Michael H. Robinson​

Capitalizing "Program" makes it a formal name.

So your question concerned my knowledge of:

• "a public notice" of the "Kingdom of God Program"
• "a brief usually printed outline of the order to be followed" of the "Kingdom of God Program"
• "a performance broadcast on radio or television" of the "Kingdom of God Program"
• "a plan or system under which action may be taken toward a goal" called the "Kingdom of God Program"
• "curriculum" called the "Kingdom of God Program"
• "prospectus, syllabus" called the "Kingdom of God Program"
• "a sequence of coded instructions that can be inserted into a mechanism" called the "Kingdom of God Program"
• "a complete plan for solving a problem by the use of a mechanism (such as a computer) that includes both instructions to be inserted into the mechanism and plans for human activities such as interpreting output" called the "Kingdom of God Program"
• "the genes or sequences of DNA or RNA that are part of an organism or cell and encode or determine a process, trait, or behavior" called the "Kingdom of God Program"

Since none of these point towards a Baptist Distinctive, I am unsure why my unfamiliarity with your arcane reference is cause to question whether I am a Baptist. However to answer your question, Yes. I am a Particular Baptist.

As an observation, the fact that NO other Baptists rushed to indicate a knowledge of your "Kingdom of God Program" means one of two things:

1. Either all Baptists are completely ignorant on the subject of the Kingdom of God / Kingdom of Heaven,
2. Or your OP is poorly worded and failed to communicate what you intended to communicate.

I will leave it to you to decide which is the more likely reason.

The Kingdom of God is spoken of throughout the Bible. The basic meaning of the Kingdom of God is that “God rules; it is the sphere over which the Sovereign God rules.”

It includes the right to rule—the authority granted to one in order to be able to rule
It includes the realm of rule—the area in which the ruling authority is exercised.
It includes the reality of rule—the actual exercise of royal authority.
God’s Kingdom Program there has the eternal aspect and the temporal aspect. The eternal aspect is the heavenly rule and the temporal aspect is “the earthly manifestation of the universal sovereignty of God.”

You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. "A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough." I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty. Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
- Paul [Gal 5:7-12 NIV]

(Sorry, but I have little use for any of that "You gotta' be like a Hebrew to really be a Christian" garbage.)

Dr Fruchtenbaum told me if Hawaiians quit making Portuguese sausage he would stop coming, hardly trying to conform the natives to Judaism.
