@SteveMeisterVDM @NWhite_GA It is strange to me how little the RPW seems to matter in these situations.

Yes. Says the entire Christian tradition. Further, for Baptists "baptism" means immersion in water upon a credible profession of faith.

[Josh Barzon @JoshuaBarzon]

Should the Lord’s Supper be limited to baptized believers?

[Luke @L_Mace82]

"It is not the privation of baptism, but the contempt of it that condemns."
Quoted by PVM 5:82

Drs. Letham and Tipton interact critically with Dr. Garner's position on the adoption of the Son. https://t.co/VhjRiP7eYu

This aligns well with concerns I pointed out in the JIRBS ‘25 article, and my concerns with Jamieson’s *Paradox of Sonship,* presented at the Partic Bapt Theo Society last month. https://t.co/fZJDsCPExl…

(Also, I’m pretty sure the Ref21 guys grabbed my picture from our site)

@pastorgrumbles, Pastor at Albany Baptist Church and Adjunct Prof. of OT @IRBS_1689 preaching the Word from Isaiah at Covenant RBC in Chambersburg and Providence RBC in Martinsburg today. A day saturated in the gospel.

[Luke @L_Mace82]

Christ is "one Son of God, and at the same time Son of man: one Son of man, and at the same time Son of God; not two Sons of God, God and man, but one Son of God." Augustine, Enchiridion

@SpurgeonPiper Congrats!

@CBHolsters replaced my favorite iwb holster free of charge after roughly ten years of constant use when one small component (rivet) failed. Great service!

Lloyd-Jones on music in worship:

"It is to be accompaniment; it is not to dictate; and it must never be allowed to do so. It must always be subservient. I would go so far as to say that the preacher should generally choose the tunes as well as the hymns, because sometimes there can be a contradiction between the two. Some tunes virtually contradict the message of the hymn though the metre may be correct. So the preacher has the right to be in charge of these matters; and he must not surrender this right."

"Keep the music in its place. It is a handmaiden, a servant, and it must not be allowed to dominate or to control in any sense."

-D. M. Lloyd-Jones, Preaching & Preachers, 267, 268.

[Luke @L_Mace82]

@pastorgrumbles In other words, "read the OT like a Christian."

[Drew Grumbles @pastorgrumbles]

Irenaeus, after discussing many of the OT prophecies of the Messiah:

"Since it is not possible to draw up an ordered account of all the Scriptures, from these you can also understand the others."

We learn from texts we know are about Christ to interpret the rest as about him.

[Luke @L_Mace82]

In no other way did the fathers taste the goodness of God under the Law, than by looking at Christ, on whose coming all their faith rested.
-Calvin, commentary on Titus 3:4

@SpurgeonPiper Nice pipe

@richbarcellos Meh.

Christ RBC hosted the 2026 Presbyterion (Pastors' Fraternal) for the Central Atlantic Reformed Baptist Association (CARBA) on Friday (5.1.26). Brothers from Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania gathered for three short presentations and discussion on Church Discipline, fellowship, lunch, church reports, and prayer time.

“It is the nature of the Christian Religion not to be smothered, but to be openly brought forth, confessed, and avowed, in word and deed, to the glory of Christ, who is the Author thereof.” –Dickson

The parts may be weak, yet where Christ dwells or hath taken possession of the heart, there the Soul hath a Fullness of Spiritual knowledge: Our Vessels may be full tho' but small. -Benjamin Keach
