@jonwoodyard No one.

But there’s quite a bit of self-aggrandizement to be had in railing against it.

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@YourCalvinist Absolutely. We need to bring back catechesis, for the good of the entire Church.

@thisisfoster Norm is mine. I’ve listened to him tell the turtle joke more times than I can count!

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@JeffreyPWiesner 💯

The shape is part of the message itself.

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@JDavenant This is also why, when the baptism of the Holy Spirit came, being a descendent of Abraham according to the flesh didn't entail membership in the New Covenant.

But I agree with your argument re: the connection between baptism and the Table.

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@JDavenant Fleshly incorporation is substantially different than spiritual incorporation. That is why all were baptized into Moses, AND why "the word they heard did not profit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened." (Heb 4:2).

@bendellwerry What segue?

@poopybutt2009 @MateyYanakiev L.

X doesn’t allow a post of sufficient length to address all the problems in this statement.

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

A pastor’s hypersensitivity to sharp speech is a litmus test for whether or not he ever reads older authors (basically anything more than 100 years old) or lives off of a steady diet of modern theological slop.

@uribrito *Calvin's Institutes

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@uribrito You can almost open up Calvin’s at random and find something significantly sharper than what Garris wrote.

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@RyanHurst171 The decision isn’t final, but it was absolutely shameful.

I’m seeing a lot of pastors draw attention to that fact, and that is a good thing.

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@HwsEleutheroi It has nothing to do with polity.

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@PatAbendroth He has been making this argument for 10+ years.

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@irishpresby @TheRhetorRick Good grief.

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@mbird12 Who defines extremism?

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@jamesrwoodtheo I appreciate you sharing these.

I’m currently considering whether to start working through Bavinck or PvM. Can you think of a short way to summarize the differences between their ST’s?

[Jake Torgeson @TorgesonJake]

@danitreweek You’ve completely ignored, or missed, the context of Mohler’s quote.
