The known ones?

Puritan Board Freshman
I was wondering, are there any mainstream Pastors who use PB? like, the really well known ones, Jmac, Paul Washer types? Are they known on the boards if they are here or do you think they use them anonymously? I was just curious. I think it would be pretty cool to have a favorite (currently alive) to respond to one of our articles or replies, whether it be as approval or correction! Imagine that?
 
I believe at least as the rules where when I joined he wouldn't be allowed even if he applied, on account of his Dispendationalism.

Oh man, he's like a fake Dispensational. His Dispensational views have so many holes. But I guess we can't be perfect. I wonder about other mainstream pastors like if R.C ever used the board. I was just saying jmac cause he's my favorite expositor. That would be funny though, he applies and gets denied. Poor guy.

No. PB signatures require a name and a location. I don't think there is a John from LA here.

Yeah, I actually forgot about that. It's been a few years since I joined so... But I guess I got my name and location in my bio for a reason.

I used to be a Macarthurite too (and actually agreed with his ecclesiology and eschatology). I since became more reformed in my thinking on everything from eschatology to the sacraments. Now I honestly don't now what to make of him. God certainly used his preaching to have a positive impact on me but the whole Lordship Salvation issue does seem concerning.

How would Lordship Salvation be concerning? Doesn't God LORD over you ?

Could you expand more on this for me please, maybe your conserns? I adhere to Lordship Salvation.

I wouldn't say Im a macharthurite, although I hold him in high regard, and am thankful to the LORD for him, but I have other favourite preachers. My pastor, Dr. Glendon Thompson is probably in my top 5. I love his preaching style though I don't agree with some political stances he took during the you know what period, butnthoes are just political views. I'm new in his church 3 months, but so far I really enjoy his style, he does not bore, and is very engaging when preaching.

The short version is that confessional Presbyterians and Particular Baptists raised concerns that he is making obedience part of, rather than a result of, saving faith, thus making salvation depend on obedience. Michael Horton wrote a book called "Christ the Lord" responding to "The Gospel According to Jesus". I am sure others more qualified than me can explain the concerns at greater leangth.

Not sure. I think R. Scott Clark has posted here before. But he has the Heidelblog and does most of his posting there.
 
If you look back you'll see some relatively well known pastors and theologians popping in that I haven't seen lately, like the aforementioned R. Scott Clark and also James White. We have been very blessed to have Dr. Duguid interacting here often as a knowledgeable Old Testament scholar. He's not a celebrity, but I also think we should not have celebrities in the church ideally.
 
Ohh gotcha. The problem is sometimes it's hard. Specially when they are all over the internet. We all obviously have our favourites. And I guess the name of this thread was coined so as I wouldn't be doing that, but just calling them commonly known. Or "The know ones"

If we knew their identities, how would they be anonymous?

Following this up - R Scott Clark has made a lengthy series of articles (and podcast episodes) at the Heidelblog addressing concerns over MacArthur's book: https://heidelblog.net/gaj/

tr I too am blessed to see Dr. Duguid, who worked on the ESV Study Bible (my favorite) and the CSB translation, sharing his wisdom with us.

The ESV is an acceptable translation. It is certainly not perfect. If I were to prefer one of the modern translations I would go with the NKJV or the NASB. I prefer the TR or the Byzantine Majority text platforms over the eclectic Alexandrian text platform. The NASB is more literal than the ESV, I would go with that one if I wanted to read a modern translation based on the critical Greek NT.

I've read through the gospel according to Jesus twice. I would say that he teaches that obedience is the result of salvation, not a requirement for it. However I think he presses the issue pretty hard that Jesus is not only our Savior, but also our Lord.

Well at first I didn't remember we had to have our names in our signatures. I'm using the ap most of the time so it don't even show my signature.
