Bane the Baptist

It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is my plan.

"Citizens of Gotham...I will not baptize your babies!"

Reading Genesis 41. Pharoah brings Joseph up out of the pit to eventually be his protege. Just like when Ra's al Ghul came for me.

@RedeemedRiddler @FanN2Flames @RedeemedJoker @RedeemedNegaduc @Calvinisht Appreciate the suggestion, Edward. We redeemed villains need to stick together!

@bkben3 @Lex_Lutheran @BiblicalBatman The bat threw in a big B. I'm always watching, Bruce.

Lex gets a pass. He's known for typos.

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@Lex_Lutheran @bkben3 @BiblicalBatman Beating up on Baptists with none of them here, huh?

One place Bats and I can surely agree! https://t.co/BsmG8bnocF

@ArminianSupes Careful, Clark. You may well become a Calvinist soon!

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@RScottClark side question, then I'll stop. Have you responded to "Kingdom thru Covenant"/"Prog. Cov." in any posts?

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@joshwaulk @RScottClark To be clear, I think confessions are good & helpful. Just personally wouldn't treat 1 as the be all/end all/perfect expression on all points

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@joshwaulk @RScottClark I agree 100%. I just think we have differing approaches on how confessions are to be used in defending theological positions.

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@RScottClark @pascaldenault Thx - have read your stuff and will read more. Would love to see the 2 camps w/in CT (& current leading voices) engage directly in that way

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@RScottClark @joshwaulk @pascaldenault For sure. So defending the position expressed IN the confession without appealing to the authority OF the confession is reasonable right?

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@joshwaulk @RScottClark @pascaldenault If argument=confession (I agree), then to argue FROM confessions is akin to "I argue this because my argument says so". Prove w/ Scripture!

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@joshwaulk @RScottClark @pascaldenault Not saying arguments shouldn't align with confessions - they do. Saying confessions shouldn't be the final authority/defense of the position

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@RScottClark @pascaldenault rather than interpreting specific Scriptures by starting with the confessional position. (2/2)

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@RScottClark @pascaldenault Thank you for clarifying. I guess what I am encouraging is to defend the confessional stance by starting from Scripture (1/2)

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@RScottClark @pascaldenault Seems easier to reach an impasse if one appeals to LBCF & one appeals to WCF, but if both appeal only to texts, might be more effective?

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

@RScottClark @pascaldenault Can you clarify what you mean? I'm certain your stance would align with WCF, I just mean arguing from the text directly.

[Bane the Baptist @BaneTheBaptist]

I'd be very interested to see their direct exegetical arguments & responses on the topic. Both are champions of their respective stances. https://t.co/QMaIANl41u
