"This ancient document is the most excellent epitome of the things most surely believed among us. It is not issued as an authoritative rule or code of faith, whereby you may be fettered, but as a means of edification in righteousness." -C.H. Spurgeon
Dr. Plummer and Dr. Howell are two of the best at what they do. Eminent scholars who love Christ, the church, and pouring into students.
Students in the Greek review class and in the Hebrew review class are wrapping up this morning. It's been a joy to see around 150 Daily Dose subscribers finding joy in reading the scriptures in the original languages and the blessings of Christian fellowship @SBTS
There are moments when my inner J.R. Graves, J.M. Pendleton, and B.H. Carroll come out!
But all you have to be is confidently Baptist, doggedly Baptist, and vocally Baptist for someone to call you a Landmarker, and I'm ready to double down on all of those things.
"Fundamentalism doesn’t gain charm when you dress it up in robes and sing ancient liturgies over it" -Casey McCall

Confessional and denominational distinctives do not equal being sectarian. Baptists would benefit greatly by reading our theologians of the past. They did not get everything right. However, many of them could teach the great truths in a way that the plough man could understand.
There is a danger to look at the Baptist tradition to prop up preconceived views. When that happens, we are not drawing from it or being instructed by it. Instead, we beginning to look for some “historical legitimacy” to beef up views that we already have.
Our confessional heritage as Baptists is rich. We need a continued retrieval of confessionalism. It is prudent for us to remember that a strong commitment to the Bible was always at the heart of our confessionalism. Regulative and regenerate are two keys to Baptist identity.
Andrew Fuller on rejecting the arguments of a correlation existing between circumcision and baptism supporting infant sprinkling: "we do not think ourselves warranted, in matters of positive institution, to found practice on analogies, whether real or supposed..."
“He that believeth on the Son is joined or united to him, and, as such, by the constitution of the covenant of grace, becomes interested in all its benefits.” -Andrew Fuller
"...the greater light of the New Testament does in no way abate the usefulness of the Old; rather it obliges us all the more to a humble and diligent study of it." - Nehemiah Coxe (1650-1689)
“We believe that every Church member should have equal rights and privileges; that there is no power in Church officers to execute anything unless they have the full authorisation of the members of the Church.” -C.H. Spurgeon
Name one theology book that more people should know about and read.

I’ll take these!
Based on your tweets' focus on Baptist theology, history, missions, and confessional ecclesiology: - Dictator: Oliver Cromwell (zealous reformer with strong convictions). - Philosopher: John Locke (advocate for religious liberty influencing Baptists). - Fictional character:…
Hey @grok, based on ALL my tweets, I am: Which dictator? Which philosopher? Which fictional character? Which politician? Which religious figure? Which historical figure? Which artist?
The Baptist approach to the covenants is a rich fountain of blessed truths regarding hermeneutics, the gospel, and the church. Proclaiming the truths of the covenant of grace adorned many sermons by Baptists of old. Thankful for this heritage passed on to us!
