If any shall judg what we have here declared doth savor of uncharitableness, rigidnness, censoriousness & bitterness of spirit to them that dissent from us, we desire all such seriously to take notice, that true love and charity is not the soothing of any in their sins, the healing of wounds slightly, the crying peace,...

Do Baptists Use a Modernist Hermeneutic? Response to Matthew Barrett
Dr. Matthew Barrett's departure from the Southern Baptist Convention has taken a small corner of internet theology by storm. But more than what he's departing from, the turmoil has been caused by what he's departing to -- Anglicanism. Critics of classical theology within Baptist circles have already begun turning this into an I told you... Continue Reading →
Thomas Goodwin vs. Michael Heiser
Jon Moffitt from the Theocast and Kingdoms Unveiled podcasts continues in his attempt to make Heiser's Divine Council view fit with Reformed theology, this time by quoting Westminster divine and Savoy Declaration co-author, Thomas Goodwin.

God Disciplines His Children
Thanks to The Particular Baptist team who reviewed and edited this article. The discipline of the Lord can come in different methods. I think in two different ways, at least primarily: through suffering and through His Word. We must not think that the Christian life will be one only of ease and that we will... Continue Reading →
Van Tillian Inconsistency
I want to start off by saying that I fall into the “presup” camp when it comes to apologetics. I find the position to be most consistent with Scripture (which I am not seeking to defend in this article). However, I find problems among those in the camp and even with some of Van Til’s...
