  Reformed Baptist Fellowship — Authority: 409
  Christ held an impromptu open air meeting that drew a huge crowd to a deserted place.  One thing that was true then, and is still true today, a crowd loves a crowd, and a crowd draws a crowd!  Some came to be healed.  Some came out of curiosity to see this One who was becoming such a celebrity.  Everyone had their ...

• Application Without Exegesis: A Destructive Trend

  
  Christian Theology — Authority: 115
  Exegesis is foundational to understand scripture’s application to our lives. The problem is that many in the church want to hear the application without doing the work of the exegete. In many cases this has also been translated into the way many preachers preach. In order to keep congregants happy, they are given ...

• “Normal,” And SGM…

  
  SGM Survivors — Authority: 112
  Yesterday, a reader (”The Missus”) took me to task for saying that “normal” Christianity is different from the Christianity practiced by most people who are members of Sovereign Grace Ministries churches.  Her comment got me to thinking – maybe it’d be interesting to list the ways that SGMers’ practice ...

• Why Many Modern American Evangelicals Dont Like Reformed Baptist Preaching

  
  Pros Apologian — Authority: 575
  James White Humanists with a thin coating of religion wont put up with this for long. Reformed Baptist Churches tend to be between 50 and 350 congregants in size, generally. Here is a contrast.

• Was the Covenant of Works Gracious?

  
  Heidelblog — Authority: 567
  It is widely held in the modern period that it was. To deny that strikes many today as absurd, as impossible. The 16th and 17th century Reformed writers were not so troubled by that idea since they had much less difficulty than we have had in distinguishing law and gospel. Steve writes to the HB:“I [...]

• THREE REASONS WHY CALVINISM SHOULD BE REJECTED: 3) SCRIPTURE AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HERMENEUTICS

  It is noted by Arminians that Calvinism is merely an exercise in scriptural proof- texting ~ a faulty presuppositional system in search of biblical warrant. That is a pretty serious charge. Granted, Calvinists admit much the same about Arminianism. How can such statements be proved? For clearly, the burden of ...

• THREE REASONS WHY CALVINISM SHOULD BE REJECTED: 2) GOD IS TO BE GLORIFIED

  
  Classical Arminianism — Authority: 127
  The second reason offered as to why Calvinism should be rejected by all orthodox Christians is due to its failure to bring glory to God through its doctrines.
