*Note this was adapted from a paper I wrote from Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary. It includes a partial defense of the Confessional Text position and thus is not representative of the opinions of all the writers on The Particular Baptist.

Can Rome Even Identify the Word of God?
A frequent claim by Roman Catholics is that Protestants need Rome to know what the Bible is. After all, how could we infallibly know the contents of the Bible? We need an infallible authority, and Rome is just that authority they claim. However, I'd like to pose a question: Can Rome actually identify what the... Continue Reading →
Should Each Local Church Have Multiple Bishops?
This is part 2 in a series on ecclesiology. Click here for part 1. Anyone unfamiliar with the debates about church government probably will be confused by the title of this post. When we think of bishops, what usually comes to mind is a man with long and ornate robes that sits and rules over... Continue Reading →
Does Biblical Ecclesiology Matter?
The word ecclesiology means theology as applied to the nature and structure of the Christian Church. There are many institutions calling themselves churches that look very different from each other. Some have a hierarchy of bishops and are headed by a Pope or a King. Others groups believe there is no institution higher than the... Continue Reading →
“Love Your Enemy” in Exodus and Leviticus
We've all heard someone espouse the idea that somehow "the God of the Old Testament" is different than "the God of the New Testament." This is claimed because they say that in the New Testament God is so loving and caring while in the Old Testament God is wrathful and mean. This is extremely frustrating... Continue Reading →

However, in this post I want to focus mainly on what I call the mocking atheist. This is the atheist that Christians encounter that doesn’t seem to actually... Continue Reading →
But the Scriptures do Produce Christianity, Mr. Stanley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvbdluur_9Q Andy Stanley has produced another sermon that denigrates the Scriptures, in favor of the Resurrection, as the basis of Christianity. Although there's a lot wrong with the sermon, I decided to focus on three major areas of discussion. I encourage the reader listen to the sermon to show that I have accurately represented Mr....

Sin Written on the Heart?
As a Particular Baptist, I'm very familiar with Jeremiah 31:31-34. Its a commonly used verse in polemics against Paedo-baptists (as it teaches members of the New Covenant must be regenerate). However, today's article is not written against the views of our Paedo-baptist brethren, but instead those of the Pelegians and synergists. I was listening to... Continue Reading →
SOLI DEO GLORIA?
In this trying time that has come upon the world due to the Coronavirus, I want to give a reminder (both to anyone reading, and to myself) of why we do the things we do in this world. What should guide our actions as we walk through this life? One of the 5 Solas of... Continue Reading →
