How Is the Bible the Sole Authority for Faith and Practice? pt. 2
Part One In part one, I explored what Baptists have meant by “the Bible is the sole authority for faith and practice.” I said that one aspect of what Baptists meant is that the Bible is the only “infallible” authority for faith and practice and the supreme judge, but not the only judge. In other […]
How Is the Bible the Sole Authority for Faith and Practice?
When Baptists say that the Bible is their sole or only rule or authority for faith and practice, what do they mean? Millard Erickson in his Theology (vol. I, p. 258) speaks of a Baptist seminary president, who said, tongue in cheek, “We Baptists do not follow tradition. But we are bound by our historic […]
“The just shall live by faith”— A Study of the Relationship of Faith to Salvation in its Justifying, Sanctifying, and Glorifying Fulness, part 3
The study in this post is now part of a larger study available online by clicking here: “The just shall live by faith”— A Study of Faith’s Connection with Salvation in All Its Justifying, Sanctifying, and Glorifying Fullness The part here began with the words: Kaiser explains the relationship between faith and faithfulness or obedience […]
Separation 101: Associations and Separation from Those Who Call Themselves Brothers, pt. 4
Part One and Part Two and Part Three and A Pure Church Would Paul have continued in fellowship with those participating in religious ecstasy at Corinth? No, of course not. That needed to stop. If the participants didn’t repent, he would have withdrawn or avoided them and instructed others to do likewise. John Piper participates in […]
Separation 101: Associations and Separation from Those Who Call Themselves Brothers, pt. 3
Part One and Part Two How do associations come into a discussion of separation? Someone preaches for someone or two men preach or teach at the same conference. They are associating with each other. The appropriate question is: do they violate scripture? When someone violates scripture he either intentionally or unintentionally disobeys God. Then you […]
Separation 101: Associations and Separation from Those Who Call Themselves Brothers, pt. 2
Part One, Yesterday Those reading yesterday’s post didn’t answer in the comment section, but I’m guessing that it’s partly because of how easy the answer is. It seems kind of like an insult to the intelligence. I understand. Some may say, “Well, no one answered, because no one is reading your blog.” Fair enough, except […]
Separation 101: Associations and Separation from Those Who Call Themselves Brothers
This is a new and ongoing series on separation (get our book A Pure Church to read something important on separation). Whenever I write about anything related to separation, it will be under Separation 101. ****************** Last week I linked to a wacky post in which a young evangelical commented on separation. It is rare […]

Dangers in Samaritan Ministries part 2 Dangers in Samaritan Ministries part 3 Health Threats from Samaritan Ministries part 1 Health Threats from Samaritan Ministries part 2 I cannot say that I am excited about writing this blog post. I am a member of Samaritan Ministries, and I think it is definitely superior to traditional health […]
Fundamentalist Floundering, pt. 2
If you visit an art museum, maybe you remember the surreal or avant garde in the modern section. They look at an object and then allow their own personal chaos to go to work. Painting inside the lines doesn’t really matter, just put the paint wherever you want, and especially use a broad brush. […]
Fundamentalist Floundering, pt. 1
The commentary under Kevin Bauder’s recent open letter to Lance Ketchum exposed a trove of fundamentalist absurdity. I can’t stay away from two of the points, both of which strayed from the thread of Bauder’s letter. Mike Harding, a fundamentalist leader, wrote: Lance Ketchum in his published post by necessary implication condemns the London Baptist […]
