    Understanding the Mindset of IFBs

    Independent Fundamentalist Baptists (IFBs) are fond of saying Calvinism is a “doctrine of devils” because it teaches strongly on repentance. Being once an IFB myself holding that same position, I can tell you exactly what is wrong with their thinking. It has to do with not allowing for proper...

    The difference between permitting and doing

    It is a well know fact that Calvin rejected the language that "something took place by the permission of God, but not also by the will of God." (Institutes, I. XVIII. I) It’s intersting that, after rejecting the language of permission, he cites Augustine using language of permission and takes...

    Resurgence of Particular Redemption and Reformed Leaning Theology in the SBC

    To all who are Presbyterian or Reformed: What are some observations you may have anecdotally concerning the reemergence of Particular Redemption and Reformed leaning doctrines amongst Baptists in general and the SBC in particular. No pun intended. This should give me some good food for...

    Did Jesus drink a cup of wrath or suffering?

    I was listening this video by an Arminian who tried to “refute” the doctrine of penal substitution. One of his arguments is that the “cup” Jesus mentioned in Luke 22:42 is not a cup of God’s wrath poured out against sin, but merely the physical suffering He would endure at his crucifixion...

    A Question in regards to Edward's Freedom of the Will

    Recently I've been going through Edward's Freedom of the Will with a friend, and the other day we read through part 2 sect. 1 where he gives his Infinite Regress Argument against Arminianism. My understanding is that our Wills are contingent upon previous acts of the Will, and each act is never...

    Solus Spiritus Sanctus: The forgotten Sola.

    This question is directed at ministers, and those proficient in Latin: is "Solus" the correct word to use here? And why was this idea of the Holy Spirit alone never formally developed as were the other Solas? "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as...

    Hyper-Calvinism & Ephesians 2:8

He does not believe our faith saves us but that we simply experience salvation in time upon faith. It's simply experimental. He posted this... "1. Salvation is by grace...

    Calvinism From Non-reformed To Reformed: Opening Perspectives

    New article series I'm running on my site at blackcalvinist.com. This is the first installment. I’ve literally been working on this article for about seventeen years. That’s roughly the amount of time I’ve been reformed. Back then, attending a solid-ish independent baptist church and directing...

    Regeneration Precedes Faith Temporally (In Time)?

    So, I am not a Primitive Baptist. I am a Particular Baptist and hold to the London Baptist Confession. Nevertheless, I still get confused over multiple things I see in the Bible. It seems as if certain people were born again/regenerated/quickened long before they even heard the Gospel and...

    Controversial John Calvin quote

    I have seen people quote this from John Calvin to "prove" he taught that God is the author of sin. Perhaps the context of this quote would clear it up, or perhaps Calvin meant something anti-Calvinists won't allow him to mean. What do you guys think? "From this it is easy to conclude how...

    My Life as a Calvinist Christian (With the Struggles of Faith)

    There was a time when I was 'holier than thou.' I used to think that I was so Godly. I used to think that knowing the truth of the Gospel (which Calvinism entails) and all the fine details about the Gospel were all I needed for salvation. I would always be obsessed with a girl. Always. If it...
