What does it mean to be Baptist? This is a question that I believe needs to be discussed, so I started a substack called "The Radical Baptist." I'll be posting a variety of articles that intend to answer that question. Read my thesis article here: theradicalbaptist.substack.c…

This was universally understood until the Reformed Ecumenism of the late 20th century. Today, Calvinistic Baptists find more in common with Presbyterians, whereas before 1970, Calvinistic Baptists would find more in common with non-Calvinist Baptists.
Remember, kids: Luther, Calvin, and Bucer never divorced soteriology from ecclesiology.

But I'm preaching Daniel 7! If I don't have the extra hour, how can I show off all of the cool charts?!
Note to all Pastors: just because we have to set our clocks back and hour tonight, does NOT mean you have an extra hour to preach to us in the morning. We will revolt. Sincerely, Everyone

244 people came to our trunk or treat tonight, 68 contact infos gathered, and 54 lost people were evangelized (which is a low number), 5 people prayed to receive Christ, with 18 volunteers (a little over 50% of our congregation). We only stopped because we ran out of candy.

Some thoughts for your church's Halloween outreach: 1. Share the gospel! 2. If you don't mention what 1 Cor 15:1-4 says, you didn't evangelize 3. If someone doesn't go to church, assume they're lost. 4. It's better to assume a saved person is lost than a lost person is saved.

This is what happens with an undeveloped eschatology. You don’t know what to do with texts about the millennial kingdom if there isn’t one.
Heard a Bible scholar say that he thinks in Heaven there will still be human government with official hierarchy etc and I personally can’t fathom that being true.

I don't think y'all fully get it (me neither): God--as in the infinite, incomprehensible Source and Cause and Ground of literally everything that exists--became a man on this third rock from the sun because of his intimate, personal love for every human being he made.

Be on the lookout for the candy your kids get this year. I heard they're putting nasty stuff in it, like this:

It’s a great day to be Baptist
Highland Park Methodist Church (@HPMethodist) voted to leave the denomination. The bishop says they can't. He removed their clergy, told the members who wanted to stay to worship three miles away, and assigned them his own chief of staff as pastor. The church says its ministers will be in the pulpit Sunday as usual. roysreport.com/umc-bishop-re…

Evangelism is the mission of every church and every church member! Love what's happening at Fellowship!
I couldn’t be more proud of how my Fellowship family. In the last two weeks, we have shared the gospel 40+ times and seen two people saved! We are committed to personal evangelism.

This timeline is so dumb.
To be clear, I have not formally declared for any office, let alone the presidency. But yes, you can in fact win the presidency at 34 years old. Your VP serves as acting President until you turn 35. 20th Amendment, Section 3.
