  • Being Reformed: The Essentials

    The following beliefs make a person Reformed. These are the sine qua non of being reformed! Covenant theology is not essential to being reformed. It was inherited from Rome. Scripture teaches dispensationalism. The truly reformed, including myself, affirm believer’s baptism, not infant baptism. The latter was inherited from Rome. An amillennial eschatology also came from…

  • Babylon the Harlot

    Here is a free verse poem I’ve written based on Revelation 17. It identifies a great nation Babylon the Harlot who will be utterly destroyed by God. It is my assertion that in fact America is this same Babylon prophesied in Holy Scripture. Below is my poem. ALL IS DESTROYED AND LOST IN THE NUCLEAR…

  • The Reformers Didn’t Go Far Enough

    The magisterial Reformers of the Protestant Reformation, men like Calvin, Luther, and Knox, were used mightily by God to restore the preeminence of Scripture and to declare every precept and doctrine taken directly from the Word of God which itself stands as the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith, morality, and praxis.…

  • Ecumenism: Common Ground or Compromise of Doctrine?

    It’s no secret that the Christian visible church is fractured (the institutional Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox churches), yet in another sense we have unity in the true Church which is the invisible Body of Christ. It’s made up of the regenerate (God’s Elect) in all the various institutional churches and denominations. Can we achieve common…

  • A Rejoinder to Reformed Presbyterians and Reformed Baptists

    Saints, for 20 years I’ve had only Presbyterians giving me hate, denigrating me, belittling me, ridiculing me, mocking me, being dismissive and haughty and insisting I am not Reformed. I finally got so sick of the abuse. I reached a breaking point, and that was the catalyst for my recent blog article on being Reformed.…

  • A Response to Reformed Presbyterians: Semper Reformanda

    Background The sine qua non of Reformed theology is soteriology. Covenant theology and certain types of eschatology are not essential core distinctives. Sadly, the majority of Reformed Presbyterians seem to be so bigoted and locked into their infantile theological cliques that they look down upon and refuse to recognize believers such as Reformed Baptists as…

  • Covenant Theology vs Dispensationalism: Towards a Definition of Reformed Essentials

    Introduction Covenant Theology (CT) and dispensationalism (D) are both frameworks created by man to understand and make sense of Scripture (both the Old Testament and New Testament). They are meta-systems of analysis and synthesis. Think of them as interpretive grids. Theological propositions or rather truths are distilled into a framework that aids in understanding the…

  • Being Reformed: Confessions and Identity

    I am sick and tired of people coming onto my Facebook timeline and berating, denigrating, and condescending to me because I am a Reformed Baptist who is dispensational in my eschatology. I follow the 1689 LBCF (London Baptist Confession of Faith), yet I disagree with its amillennial eschatology (End Times). I adhere to over 90%…

  • The Pre-Trib Rapture is biblical

    The New Testament speaks of our Lord’s return as imminent, meaning that it could happen at any moment. Other events may occur before an imminent event, but nothing else must take place before it happens. Imminency passages instruct believers to look, watch, and wait for His coming (1 Cor. 1:7; Phil. 3:20; 1 Thes. 1:10;…

  • America – the new Rome

    It pains me greatly to see how far America has strayed from biblical morality. The popular culture is no longer Christian. One has to only tune in to the TV talk shows to see how they mock and ridicule and attack Christian faith at every turn. The seeds of this Antichrist culture were in the…
