I'm not at ETS but this is. I'll bet the @ReadBakerBooks rep is really hoping these sell because carrying them twice is too much.
To whomever is manning the table, I sincerely apologize but the good news is that got your workout.
When its time to think about piety, why are there confessional presbies who reach for Baxter, Piper, or such? Does WCF 17 still exist?: "This perseverance of the saints depends not upon their own free will, but upon the immutability of the decree of election..."
The Reformed Churches offered better advice. Look for one with the marks of the true church:
1) The pure preaching of the gospel;
2) The pure administration of the sacraments;
3) The use of church discipline.
The vile replies to this video are further evidence as to why many godly women remain single today—a dearth of godly and NORMAL young men. Sorry, but I wouldn’t want my daughters to marry whiney cowards who have nothing better to do than wait around on Twitter all day for the next dunk.
Her point was clearly that God can and does use women for his glory in their singleness. A woman need not be married to glorify God and enjoy him forever.
“We may thus conclude beyond any doubt that the same promises of eternal life which are today made to us were not only addressed to the Jews, but were sealed and confirmed for them by truly spiritual sacraments.”
John Calvin
A story in three parts. From concern to praise.
1. In March 2022, Zachary Garris’ Reformation Zion published a book by kinist Adi Schlebusch, Director and Senior Researcher of the Pactum Institute, where white supremacist and neo-Nazi “pastor” Michael Spangler wrote a series of articles on “Christian Race Realism” as a Research Fellow.

By October 2022, Zachary Groff was made aware of Garris’ (and Sean McGowan’s) association with Schlebusch. At the time, Groff claimed both Garris and McGowan condemned racism and kinism, whilst saying he was prepared to escalate the concern to the Editorial Board of Presbyterian Polity if necessary.
2. In June 2024, Garris liked a tweet* from “James Kirkpatrick” (a pseudonym for Kevin DeAnna) that read “Obesity is a moral failing. Racism is not.” Screenshots of this interaction have since been shared on this platform.
DeAnna is a white nationalist and white identitarian. He has a long history of writing for white nationalist outlets including Jared Taylor’s American Renaissance, VDARE, Richard Spencer’s Radix Journal, and Greg Johnson’s Counter-Currents.
DeAnna also hosts American Renaissance’s Identity Politics podcast. His X bio includes the acronym “AJAB,” a far-right antisemitic variation of ACAB meaning “All Jews Are Bastards.”
3. On Friday, 29 May 2026, Groff publicly praised Garris, likening him to Presbyterian hero J. Gresham Machen.
This public praise comes despite the fact that Garris still publishes Schlebusch’s book and agrees with the belief that “racism is not a moral failing.”
Naturally, this stark shift raises serious questions about Groff’s 2022 statements and where he truly stands on racism and related issues.
The pastor who was once prepared to escalate concerns over his friends’ far-right associations is now unapologetically praising Garris as a model minister.
So the question is, what changed?
*In addition to this tweet, Garris has liked other racist and antisemitic tweets, including one from DeAnna implying that he does not like to speak to black people, and one from Stew Peters showing an antisemitic meme portraying Jewish people as “tunnel rats.”

No, it isn't.
My point is that this goes two ways. Too many Baptists posture as victims when, in fact, they are not. Most of you, with a few exceptions, unbaptize, were it possible, the entire church until 1523 but you are offended when I say what all Reformed people knew until 1997, that Baptists aren't Reformed.
@abegreenleaf@SaepeReformanda@ShawnWGillogly By divisive, do you mean declaring that people who are baptized as infants are unbaptized and therefore outside of Christ's Church?
Not exactly. Owen never accepted the Baptist arguments, but he had close relations with some of them and even helped them examine ministerial candidates. I worked closely with Particular Baptists for probably 20 years. I spoke at one of their conferences and would happily have helped them evaluate ministerial candidates.
I just saw this. I take it that you don't like my argument that Baptists aren't Reformed. This isn't bashing. This is a historical argument. Reformed Baptists is a modern invention.
The Baptists and the Reformed read the history of redemption differently in important ways. Observing that isn't bashing.
I have lots of Baptist friends. I just contributed to a Festschrift for a Baptist scholar. Baptists contribute to the Heidelblog.
But I won't be made to say things that aren't true.
“It is Yahweh addressing his Son, Jesus Christ, written down by David, and preserved for your faith.”

Finally getting over the asthma - and here's the org chart of the Newark protests, as promised. A few are missing, particularly the Catholic NGOs. But this is the basic template for how mass protests are coordinated so quickly.
Belgic Confession 8
The Father has never been without his Son, or without his Holy Spirit. For they are all three co-eternal and co-essential. There is neither first nor last; for they are all three one, in truth, in power, in goodness, and in mercy.
