Just food for the brain.. The Lambeth Articles (1595) 1. God from eternity has predestined some men to life, and reprobated some to death. 2. The moving or efficient cause of predestination to life is not the foreseeing of faith, or of perseverance, or of good works, or of anything innate in...

FOR SOME REASON THE LINKS WON'T ALL WORK. NOT SURE WHY. I PASTED THEM IN. Being with Jesus by C. Matthew McMahon - https://www.puritanpublications.com/product/being-with-Jesus-by-c-matthew-mcmahon/ What does it truly mean to be “with” someone? Simple in concept, but when it comes to our...

Considering the rejection from Chiliastic and apparently all forms of millenarism, as the lutheran rejection in Augsburg Confession, the 42 articles rejection and finally the 2 Helvetic Confession rejection, puritan millenarism in Westminster Standards and Savoy Declaration of Faith are not a...

I was researching about eschatology on Jeremiah Burroughs, and I found this affirmation about natural theology

Was Luther a "lutheran" in today's sense of the word (like LCMS)? I've heard that Luther himself was much more like Calvin than the later lutherans (like those who wrote the lutheran confessions). I've heard that Luther was pleased with Calvin's teaching on the sacraments. My question is would...

Hey All, First time poster, long time reader... Anyways, I pastor a wonderful, independent Reformed church in Holden, Me. I'm just curious if any of you know of any Reformed Congregationalist Denominations/Fellowships? I know about the CCCC and the EARCC, but I was hoping to find something...

Does anyone here have a list of major Reformed/Calvinist theologians, old or modern, organized according to where they stood on the creationism/traducianism debate? I am preparing a Sunday School class on WCF 6 and would like to have this available as an illustration. I know, for example, that...

I don't speak english very well. So forgive me if something is not understandable. My question concerns the practice of ordination in Presbyterian and Reformed churches. As I understand it, ordinations with the laying on of hands by other presbyters, previously ordained, are only valid. In...

Has anyone heard about the split from the Protestant Reformed Church this year and the resulting formation of the Reformed Protestant Denomination by Andy Lanning?

If this has been discussed here before, direct me that way. I have wondered for some time, why do so many reformed believers struggle with assurance of their salvation? Is it such a knowledge of depravity that it is hard to conceive The Creator saving them?

Happy Lord's Day. I've seen a thread on here that is already closed dealing with reformed Bible Dictionaries but it didn't seem to give a clear-cut answer as to which maybe the top three Reformed Bible dictionaries are. Looking for some insight on this if anyone knows which ones are best. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I come from a Reformed (Paedobapist) background and have been defending that front against a growing number of friends from the same background who have become Baptist. Recently, however, the implications of my theology have hit home rather hard and I am considerably less convinced...

Hey everyone! I live in Colorado Springs and options for seminary training are sli . We have NGTS, but it's unaccredited. There's Denver Seminary, but it leans libera . We also have the rocky mountain campus of Gateway Seminary. Does anyone on here know anything about Gateway Seminary? Are...

Good evening everyone. I've been doing research about different seminaries and their benefits. The North American Reformed Seminary has come up in multiple discussions, with relatively good opinions all around. My question is about their Affiliate status. Why are they affiliated with ARTS but...

The Christian’s Duty and Safety in Evil Times by Christopher Love (1618-1651) "Love is without a doubt, one of my favorites writers of all time. Eminently biblical and exceedingly practical. This new work is a gem in both regards." - Dr. McMahon Christopher Love (1618-1651) was a fiery and...

The Wickedness, Humiliation, Restoration and Reformation of Manasseh by C. Matthew McMahon Manasseh ought to hold a special place to two kinds of people who read the Bible. The first is the sinner who thinks they have sins that are bigger than Christ is a Savior. They are timid to come to the...

How to Hear the Preaching of God’s Word with Profit by Stephen Egerton (1555–1621) Have you ever taken time to learn what it means to hear the word of God preached with profit, and to understand what ought to be done before, during and after the sermon? Stephen Egerton (1555–1621) was an...

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...

I've spent the last two months searching for all available books on the Perseverance of the Saints. I've found that every single historical work on the matter, that I could find, teaches that the regenerate can never lose faith. I will explain why this is a stumbling block for me if I wished to...

I'll be moving to Zürich for six months and am looking for an English-Speaking Reformed or Lutheran church in the area. The closest I can find is a PCA mission 115 km north-west in Neuenburg, Germany. It's almost impossible to be a faithful member at such a distance. While I can speak and...

I know there are different kinds of reformed, though we all agree on the core reformed (confessional) standards. I wanted to know for a long time, what kind (or flavor) of reformed am I based on my beliefs? Or, what group of people who were considered reformed would my views best fit into...

Sooo... I am currently taking theology classes for a Theology Minor at my university, and one of the classes we had to take was Systematic Theology. It was broken into two classes (1 and 2) and had a lot of reading. Now, going to a Pentecostal college, I knew that I was bound to run into...

Hello everyone, Here is my situation: My parents are Roman Catholic. Even though I am an adult, I still live at home. When my parents attend mass, I attend a Reformed church. I have a younger sister who goes with them, but I have been trying to witness to her for a while and really, see to it...

Hello brothers and sisters, I created this thread so that you may recommend reformed bibliographic literature (books or articles, old and, preferably, new) on the following subjects and aspects: 1. A work introducing Amillennialism, but, at the same time, refuting dispensational and/or...

Hello, all. Does anyone know if any RP denomination has dissent toward John Calvin's interpretation of general equity? More specifically, do any disagree with his interpretation of proving a case with witnesses? Here's what my denomination's literature states: "The accused cannot be...

I received a full scholarship to study at Asbury Theological Seminary. So far, the readings have been pretty diverse, including some Reformed authors. As you see it, what are the similarities between the Reformed and Wesleyan perspectives? (I know there are many differences, but I'd be...

Preface: It is widely acknowledged on this board (but not in the wider Christianity) that to be reformed means you are a paedobaptist, you hold to the RPW, and subscribe 100% to the 3FU or WCF. And any one who is a credobaptist whether he is Macarthurite, a Particular baptist, a 1689 Covenantal...

Does anybody know whether or not The Family International is a legit denomination? Their Statement of Faith appeared to also take a semi-Reformed stance on salvation by grace... But a quick Google search brings them up as a cult. Any light on the subject would be great! Thanks! :D
