Slave of Christ + Scripture + 1689 + Reformed Biblicist + There's only 1 true God & Salvation = faith in Jesus Christ alone by his death on the ✞ & resurrection
Yes.
Stop Wearing Flip Flops To Church 🛑
I used to be a hip, cool man-bun California preacher who would wear flip-flops on the Lord’s day.
I was wrong.
What the preacher is wearing on Sunday actually matters.
Why?
Because Clothing communicates.
This is an inescapable
There are three main Baptists:
1. Mega Church/BigEva SBC that allow anything as long as they're entertained
2. Patriotic country SBC that love American flags and pancake breakfasts between Sunday School and service
3. Reformed Baptist that are mocked by Presbys
Which are you?
I have a 2 month old. We gave the baby a bath last night. Washed his head and I poured a little water on his head too.
I cannot fathom ever thinking doing that would qualify as Biblical baptism. He had no clue what was going on, no testimony or witness.

Household INCLUDES infants. We are told that “the same hour of the night . . . he was baptized, with all his family” (Acts 16:33)
Prots: “noooo..infants are not part of family!”
"Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; FOR TO SUCH BELONGS to the kingdom of God".
I vehemently disagree with paedobaptism (infant baptism) but I do understand how they get there.
Other than that, I'm closer to Presbys as a Reformed Baptist that most in the SBC by light years.
Do you find this to be true too??
The reason why Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon has "grown to despise democracy" is because it allows women to vote: "I think the 19th Amendment should be repealed. I think that because, first and foremost, I'm a Christian. That is the Christian position."
After much prayer and study, I've decided to fully affirm and remain in Baptist theology.
I deeply love and respect my paedobaptist brothers and sisters, but am fully assured of credobaptism only and its Biblical foundation as the only example and command in Scripture!
Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

Pray for this young man full of hate and lies of the Truth.
The worst theology you ever get is from these 6 Reformed/Calvinist delusionals.
Living coal factories full of intellectual dishonesty, cope, Catholic hate & no integrity.
Their whole essence is "Trust me, Catholics are evil"....
Never substance; never an argument outside their
This is what a 34 week old baby looks like outside the womb.
Every democrat in Congress voted in favor of killing an unborn child at this age. For no reason, just because someone wants to.
They call it “reproductive rights” because they refuse to call it what it is: murder.
@kevinmyoung
We need a Church that
… worships God first
... loves neighbors second (never confuses the 2)
... is Biblically grounded
... preaches Christ and Him crucified
… call all to Biblical repentance
… fights against all sin and evil
… rejects false pastors like Mr Young
I just discovered that (fantastic website full of free resources like ebooks) has an app. And then even better I discovered they have a 'bad theology' section! Amazing!
Alright, follower boost time!
If you are Reformed Baptist (i.e. subscribe fully or substantially to the 1677 / 1689 — 2LBCF) then comment below and tag a friend and let's follow each other.
Let's get a big RB following amongst one another!
It seems the Christian Nationalists have transformed quickly from "let’s make a Christian nation" to "white boy summer" to "let’s wage crusades again like we are jihadists".....
@KevinLedgister
This is not an actual church, just notes.
I believe any church can become legalistic. But aiming for faithful Biblical structure, order, and doctrine combined with a robust discipleship and one-anothering attitude full of grace, mercy, and love would absolve these concerns, no?
First, pray for Trump to know the LORD Jesus Christ as Creator and Savior. He doesn't.
Second, we are not saved by being good because NOBODY is good without Christ. None.
Third, pray for God's will to be done not treat prayer as if God is a genie.
@Young77Me
I hope you realize that I’ve dealt with all of the clobber passages that conservatives use to marginalize and dehumanize us for being who and what God created us to be. Please read my discussion of these and other verses, detailing how they don’t apply.
@RevivedThoughts
There’s many, but one that has really always stuck out is the fact that Solomon could be the wisest man who ever lived, and yet he had 1000 women..........
@dandarling
Imagine your tithe dollars being spent to kill pro-life bills in Louisiana, or lobby Congress for Ukraine funding, or to suppress the Nashville shooter’s diary.
Take off the rose-colored homer glasses, friend.
The emotional manipulation doesn't work anymore.
They've called so many good people so many horrible names for so long that we are immune.
We're going to keep advancing the good, true, and beautiful. The slander won't stop us.
Straw man
I love how bad Calvinists are at memes
They always showcase how confused they are by what scripture means when it uses things like hyperbole, poetry, parables, etc etc to get a point across.
A fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to be spiritually dead.

This past Sunday night, I addressed the resurgence in the Reformed and Reformed-adjacent world of the doctrine of the “imputation of the active obedience of Christ,” and the aggressive push some are making to have the embrace of this doctrine serve as a supposed litmus test of
We are supposed to worship God in every part of the LORD's Day service not just the music.
Worship God during prayers
Worship God during songs
Worship God during Bible reading
Worship God during creed/confession reading
Worship God during sermon
Worship God during benediction
@Appeal2Heaven7
Imho, IFB aren't that popular and probably slide into

in reality
yes, Sola Scriptura means our final authority is the Bible, it doesn’t mean ignore Church history or Creeds and Confessions and the struggles of giants of the faith to defend orthodoxy
Sodomy ≠ love
Sodomy = sin
Adultery ≠ love
Adultery = sin
Porn ≠ love
Porn = sin
Lust ≠ love
Lust = sin
Be sure, Christian, to treat all sexual sin as sin.
Want to truly honor Mary? Tell the truth about her:
Mary was blessed by God
She was favored among women
Gave birth to Jesus
Was a sinner
Needed a Savior
Had sex with her husband (or she was a bad wife)
Had other children
Died and cannot hear our prayers
Should not be worshipped
Challenge yourself to read the whole Bible in 2024!

- pray before and after reading
- read slowly and deeply
- focus on Biblical meditation
- practice sitting in silence with God
- do with accountability partner
You'll be a Baptist by 2025 😉
