@5solas @MilkToastOnRye Apologia shoutout

[NESHY @NESHYBeast]

@5solas Amen! I go to Apologia Church and Pastor James will always mention how "Rome is changing." Our infallible authority needs to be unchangeable. Sola Scriptura!

@langluigi_ @MilkToastOnRye down to hit up a Latin Mass while we still have the chance?

[NESHY @NESHYBeast]

@xaidwithanx Yes the protestant reformation aimed to restore biblical teaching to the church

[NESHY @NESHYBeast]

Cardinal Newman famously stated “To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.”

But diving into Church History has only made me even MORE Protestant.

@Wayward_Thinker @gavinortlund This section on Saving Faith should also help

[NESHY @NESHYBeast]

@Wayward_Thinker @gavinortlund I should clarify, it's a means of non-justifying grace. The 1689ers base this in Romans 6:3-5, which implies that there is some kind of participation with Christ in baptism; it's not a naked and bare sign

[NESHY @NESHYBeast]

@coramdeo1 @Wayward_Thinker @gavinortlund Yeah maybe this section about Saving Faith better explains it

[NESHY @NESHYBeast]

[NESHY @NESHYBeast]

@coramdeo1 @Wayward_Thinker @gavinortlund Yes it's different from the Westminster 28:1 that baptism is “a sign and seal of the covenant of grace” and in 27:1 that the “Sacraments are holy signs and seals of the covenant of grace.”
1689ers agree that it's a sign, but Ephesians 1 is clear that the Holy Spirit is the seal

[NESHY @NESHYBeast]

@Wayward_Thinker @gavinortlund The 1689 LBCF is clear that baptism is a means of grace

Since there is a lot of discussion about Baptists and early creedal language about baptism, I am reposting this with some additional comments:

1) Baptists are historically similar to other Protestant denominations like Presbyterians on the specific question of baptismal efficacy. It’s weird to single out Baptists.

2) The phrase “baptismal regeneration” is not self-interpreting and is, in fact, used to refer to a constellation of different possible positions. It must be defined.

3) allowing only two options, (1) baptismal regeneration and (2) “just a symbol” is a false dichotomy. Read Stan Fowler’s “More Than a Symbol.”

4) it would be nice if those who love to dunk on Baptists would actually read our historic confessions and theologians rather than derive their view from anecdotal observation, as we should be careful to do in critiquing any tradition.

5) yes, Baptists absolutely believe that baptism is “for the forgiveness of sins.”No, interpreting what that means is not so simple. As soon as we ask whether baptism was for the forgiveness of Cornelius’ sins, for example, we realize that interpretation is unavoidable.

[Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund]

Two distinctive pillars of a Protestant ecclesiology:
1) the church is fallible
2) the church is not restricted to one institution

To me, both seem so modest.

(1) means the church isn't infallible and is therefore subordinate under Scripture. Cool, no big deal. Scripture is God-breathed revelation, after all. Post-apostolic ecclesial infallibility was never a thing and has no basis in the founding of our religion (no, Matthew 16:18 doesn't teach infallibility, only indefectibility, which we affirm). Even Augustine though ecumenical councils are fallible and thus under Scripture.

(2) means the church coheres within multiple institutions. Again, I can get on board with that pretty much immediately. We see evident fruits of the church (exorcisms, glory to the Trinity, salvation, etc.) in multiple institutional expressions. This is a huge Protestant advantage because most other traditions have to move historic goalposts to try to make sense of it today.

So ... why not be Protestant? You end up with a larger church (really, think about it), and you are no longer yoked to errors and accretions that are pretty obviously unknown to the apostles and yet now irreformable (like venerating icons or praying to Mary).

"The Church … is the society of all the saints, a society which, spread over the whole world, and existing in all ages, yet bound together by the one doctrine, and the one Spirit of Christ, cultivates and observes unity of faith and brotherly concord. With this Church we deny that we have any disagreement" (John Calvin, 1539).
