The distinction between "absolute certainty" and "moral certainty" is an important one to remember in conversations regarding the subjects of baptism.

[That Particular Baptist @ParticularBapt]

'If absolute certainty were required that the remission of sins properly pertains to all who are baptized, then Philip did wrong in baptizing Simon Magus (Acts 8), as did all who baptize hidden hypocrites - which nevertheless is often done, and rightly so, by God's command.

[That Particular Baptist @ParticularBapt]

'Thou seest the defects of thine own heart fall short of any true work. Make this use of it; stand not examining thy heart, and poring upon it endlessly, but let all these drive thee to Christ, and thou shalt find that faith in him will cut the knot. Go to Christ for supply of all the things thou wantest, and trade with him still, and while thou dost thus live by faith, thou wilt find in the end the comfort of all thy graces come in before thou art aware of it.'

- Thomas Goodwin, "Goodwin's Works", Vol. 1, Pg.418 [1861 Nichols Edition]

[That Particular Baptist @ParticularBapt]

'All the duties these men perform they do them after the flesh, in this, that they do them upon legal motives and they rest in them. It is made a difference between the state of nature and the state of grace: he that is under the law, turneth the gospel into law; he is moved to all duties by the law. The one is under the guidance of grace, the other is under the guidance and stirrings and workings of the law upon the conscience. So he remaineth still an unregenerate man; he is married to the law still, he is not dead to the law, and emptied there, and married to Christ.'

- Thomas Goodwin, "Goodwin's Works", Vol. 1, Pg.417 [1861 Nichols Edition]

[That Particular Baptist @ParticularBapt]

'What is flesh? Professedly it is this: it is self-love in the height of it, when a man hath nothing in him but love of himself; it is the bottom of original sin, if you study it a thousand years. Well, there cometh the Holy Ghost upon a man's heart, and there is indeed a work partly from above, yet it stirreth but the flesh; it is partly from the Holy Ghost's stirring it, and partly from the will of the flesh stirred too. In opposition to which, saith James, 'Every perfect gift is from above;' that is, wholly from above; but these imperfect works, they work upon the will of the flesh, they work upon self-love, and so far as that will carry a man to good, so far a man is carried. Whereas true grace is not a work of the will of the flesh, but of the will of God; it is wholly from above, for it deposeth the will of the flesh, deposeth self-love, and setteth a man on work from a new principle.'

- Thomas Goodwin, "Goodwin's Works", Vol. 1, Pg.411 [1861 Nichols Edition]

[That Particular Baptist @ParticularBapt]

'Now then, all nature being thus wrought upon, a man falling thus a-doing and reforming, and finding himself thus kindly used to encourage him, self-flattery in a man makes up a conclusion, that he is in a state of grace. And the principles of nature being thus wrought upon by the Holy Ghost, thus doth a man come to be a professor of religion, launcheth forth, walketh on strongly and yet all is but the principles of nature improved, and but an under work of the Spirit.'

- Thomas Goodwin, "Goodwin's Works", Vol. 1, Pg.409-410 [1861 Nichols Edition]

The Dutch Reformed should be read by all. Especially those of the experiential strain. They are of a "Goodly Heritage". On these issues they tend to reflect the biblical position.

@Calvinreformed @PresbyInn Bavinck also expresses strong antinomian (as he says “so called antinomian”) sympathies in RD. The Neocalvinists are very bad and should be avoided by all Reformed.

This attack claimed the lives of 41 people and left 100 with life threatening injuries and this is the best headline BBC News could come up with? Shame on the editors!!

[Maazị Chukwüdi ° @chuddyOzil]

Over 40 people died
Over 100 injured

See the headline of BBC

[King 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 @Fix_nigeria_]

BBC be ashamed of yourself, this is a very disgusting headline, framed to make it appear like just a church building was attacked. 41 people died, 100 injured but that couldn't make your headline. Knowing most won't read the article. Do better guys! Dont inflame tensions

"That happens everywhere tho he might as well go and live in a remote island somewhere"

Major cities are not what constitutes everywhere, nor are the only choices major cities or a remote island. There are many satellite towns, small towns, and villages where a person can live and avoid those particular major city pitfalls.

Things like this make me a firm Protestant lol.

“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, That I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O LORD: Teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I declared All the judgments of thy mouth.”
Psalm 119:11-13

[Jeremiah Hurt @jeremiahhurt]

If you trust to your faith and to your repentance, you will be as much lost as if you trusted to your good works or trusted to your sins. The ground of your salvation is not faith, but Christ; it is not repentance, but Christ. If I trust my trust of Christ, I am lost.

NHS paramedic Jules Trigg, 41, from Emsworth in Hampshire, has been diagnosed with incurable stage-four cervical cancer after visiting her GP 21 times over 18 months.

She repeatedly reported severe nausea, sickness, bleeding and pelvic pain but was dismissed each time and told she had urine or kidney infections. All her cervical screenings had come back clear.

The cancer was only discovered during a laparoscopy originally planned to investigate possible endometriosis; by then it had already spread to her abdomen and lymph nodes (stage 3C2).

She underwent aggressive chemo, radiotherapy and brachytherapy, briefly saw the cancer shrink, but a scan in April showed it had returned and metastasised to her lungs and the lining of her abdomen.

Jules, an emergency responder, said she is “no longer fighting for a cure but fighting for time.” She starts new palliative treatment this week.

There is a GoFundMe set up if anyone can help if not can you please share the post thanks! https://t.co/4tYGsWtZIc

There are some great books on worship. But these were formative for me, especially while taking Dr. Aniol’s course.

There’s a trending story of trapped miners in Zambia. Trapped in a mine for 17 days.

After exhausting every effort to dig an escape route with no success, the miners on the 3rd of May became physically drained and emotionally broken. One of them gathered his colleagues and offered a heartfelt prayer in Tonga:
“Lord, forgive us for our sins. Do not let us die like this without saying goodbye to our families. Some of us, despite being young, are the breadwinners of our families.”

Silence fell. With no strength left, they lay down to rest, believing their fate was sealed.

Unknown to them, rescue teams above were working tirelessly. Exactly 17 days later, on the 20th of May 2026, they were brought back to life.

A powerful reminder of hope in the darkest places.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I can only imagine what these men went through.

@ParticularBapt "One difference betwixt the presumptuous professor and a child of God...is this: the presumptuous professor seems anxious to know how far he may go without being particularly criminal...
but the child of God...is constantly praying, 'Hold up my goings in thy paths.'" - W. Gadsby
