A Critique of the 2008 Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International, Resolution One pt. 1
I wandered over to SharperIron and the new administration there posted the first two resolutions of this year’s Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International. Reading both these resolutions makes me so glad not to be a part of the FBFI, oh so glad. Baptists historically are first characterized by having the Bible as their sole authority for […]
Dialogue about Separation: The 2008 Dever-Minnick 9Marks Interview part two
Since I wrote part one of this series on the Dever-Minnick interview, a mini-stir has erupted on the internet regarding an interpretation like mine of what Pastor Minnick said in his answers. The fundamentalist Baptist pastor on Vancouver Island in BC, Canada, Don Johnson, has written a few evaluations of this interview (here [before I […]
Dialogue about Separation: The 2008 Dever-Minnick 9Marks Interview part one
Not often can we eavesdrop on a conversation about separation between a well-known evangelical and fundamentalist. When Mark Dever interviews Mark Minnick as part of the 9Marks organization, we can, and I did. A Duke graduate and PhD from Cambridge, Mark Dever is senior pastor of the SBC Capital Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC. […]
Romans 10:9-13: Are “Confess” and “Call” Post-Justification? part five
THE PRODIGAL SON: A CASE STUDY IN PRE-JUSTIFICATION CONFESS AND CALL In Luke 15, Jesus answers an accusation of the Pharisees with three stories—a story of the lost sheep, then the lost coin, and finally the lost son.

Romans 10:9-13: Are “Confess” and “Call” Post-Justification? part 3
Are the “confess” of Romans 10:9-10 and the “call” of Romans 10:13 pre or post justification? Or in other words, is there a “sinner’s prayer” in Scripture? I’m not talking about a 1-2-3 pray-with-me easy-believism, but a legitimate cry for spiritual deliverance from sin and Hell through Jesus Christ? Our friend and brother in Christ, […]

Order: Sound Music or Sounding Brass: A Biblical Theology of Godly Music

Debate on the Preservation of Scripture
I thought you might want to know about the debate occurring at the debate blog of one of the Pyromaniacs, Frank Turk. He challenged me to a debate on the issue of the preservation of God’s Word. I’m arguing for the perfect preservation of the NT in the textus receptus. He’s arguing against that. We’re […]
