What does it mean to be Baptist? This is a question that I believe needs to be discussed, so I started a substack called "The Radical Baptist." I'll be posting a variety of articles that intend to answer that question. Read my thesis article here: https://t.co/uivBDyqLVi

@decorated_dust @EndureInFaith That’s a different angle. I think her handler actually did everything attributed to her.

[Sean Perron @seanperron]

It is false to assert that biblical counseling only confronts sin. The Bible repeatedly instructs us to comfort one another during times of hardship and loss (2 Corinthians 13:11). Jesus is the model counselor, and his personal ministry of the Word was one of both confrontation and comfort. We must follow our Lord and Savior’s example in ministering to broken and troubled people.

Just saying, if you’ve opted out and plan to opt back in, why not just take 15% of your income and put it in a mutual fund?

[Baptist Press @BaptistPress]

President Donald J. Trump signed the Clergy Act into law Tuesday (Oct. 20), marking a significant development for ministers and ministry families nationwide.

JD Hall deserved to be marked and avoided with how he treated Ergun Caner. He just keeps getting worse.

If you participated in rehabbing him, you should repent. He should’ve long been forgotten.

[JD™ @LostMyHats]

@ReformedRant @philvischer @CVernonSmith @megbasham He went to Epstein Island. Look forward to releasing that info.

Good luck.

My brother, read the context. It’s their personal duty, not a governing duty. He literally talks about the impossibility of a governing duty. He says that any minister who turns to the government cannot call himself a minister of Christ.

[Commonplace Study @commonplacestdy]

Isaac Backus, An Appeal to the Public for Religious Liberty (1773), p. 11:

"It is often pleaded, that magistrates ought to do their duty in religious as well as civil affairs. That is readily granted; but what is their duty therein? Surely it is to bow to the name of Jesus"

[Matthew Millsap @mattmillsap]

A good word here from @jake_stone89.

Remember: Friends don't let friends do Ctrl+F historical theology.

[Klayton Carson @jarsofKlay]

Tim and I talked about our friendship, how it was forged, and how it has been good for us not to pastor alone!

Also, when I said he’s 65, you’d understand if you’ve seen his hair.

[Conservative Baptist Network @BaptistNetwork]

In this episode of the Text-Driven Podcast, local church pastor and our Network Director, Timothy Pigg, discusses the importance of not pastoring alone.

My brother in Christ, WE HEAR THIS ALL THE TIME FROM CALVINISTS

[Lets be Frank @FrankLets78822]

Libertarian Free Will is a doctrine of demons.

LFW makes man sovereign over God.

LFW teaches that man saves himself.

LFW robs God of His glory.

LFW is a man-centered false gospel.

LFW proponents worship human autonomy rather than the God of Scripture.

Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?

Yet these are the kinds of accusations Calvinists hear regularly, simply reversed.

Disagree with Calvinism? Fine. Open your Bible and make your case.

But if you wouldn't appreciate your beliefs being deliberately misrepresented, perhaps you shouldn't do it to others.

Disagreement is not a license to bear false witness.

The Council yields the floor. ⚖️

[Klayton Carson @jarsofKlay]

Donnie Wilkins is a mentor that I never got to meet. I’d talk to Matt about church things, asking for advice, and he’d talk to his dad and relay the advice back to me. Some of the best advice came from him.

Keep the Wilkins in your prayer.

[Matt Wilkins @MattRWilkins]

Dad went home to be w Jesus yesterday morning. His faith in Jesus has become sight. He has run his race & finished his course.
Well done Dad! Thank you for being my Dad...my example (in many things & ways)...& being my friend! I love & will see you again one day.
1 Cor 15:50-58

[Travis Agnew @TravisAgnew]

As you drive to your church campus today, you’ll probably pass another one. Take a moment to pray that God would do amazing things in that congregation.

Remember, a church that faithfully preaches the gospel and makes disciples isn’t your competition. They’re your family.

[Klayton Carson @jarsofKlay]

The basis of my salvation is not that I loved Christ, but that He loved me.

The outcome of my salvation is that I now get to love Christ.

[Catholic Dads @catholicdads_]

Jesus: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”

Protestants: “Best I can do is faith alone.”

[Klayton Carson @jarsofKlay]

1. Online church is like online food. All visual, no satiation.

2. Most churches that do livestreams are paying a pretty penny (or burning volunteers) to make it happen for a small group of people.

[Ryan Burge 📊 @ryanburge]

You know who really isn't a fan of watching church online?

Folks with college degrees making six figures.
Just 8% say that they attend online services weekly.

Among those with a high school diploma or less and making less than $50K?

It's 22%.

[Klayton Carson @jarsofKlay]

Like, either there is no universal church/the universal church is a future reality or online church is valid.

[Klayton Carson @jarsofKlay]

I feel like the reaction to the "online church" trend ought to topple the universal church theory. Or least that the universal church is primary. Those rightly against it get that online church is oxymoronic, but the same logic leads to thinking the universal church is too.

[Jayson York @jaysonyork]

There is no such thing as “attending online church”.

Even the phrase is oxymoronic

The church assembles together in one body for the sake of edification, fellowship, word, and sacrament.

We have to put an end to this nonsense

[Klayton Carson @jarsofKlay]

His student loan interest rate would have to be 10%.

If you're taking out a student loan with a 10% interest rate, I'm sorry, but that's on you.

[Klayton Carson @jarsofKlay]

Beware the danger of eclecticism. It seems humble, and even wise, to take the "best pieces" of different views and put them together, but rarely does that produce a delicious cake. More often, it creates Frankenstein's monster.

[Klayton Carson @jarsofKlay]

I just learned that North Point has a largely episcopal (almost Catholic) style of church governance, with a hint of Congregational democracy.

[Protestia @Protestia]

Breaking! Andy Stanley announced this morning that he is stepping down as senior pastor of North Point Ministries.

Long-time pastor Joel Thomas is being nominated to take over.

Stanley insists that while he's retiring from his job, he's not retiring from ministry and will remain on the Board of Elders and will preach as part of the pastoral rotation.

[Klayton Carson @jarsofKlay]

A lot of early Christians believe in ransom theory.

Proof that early Christians went wrong on a lot. Thankful for the Bible.

[Jeff Early @Jeff1Early]

Whereas; paedobaptism does not mean only babies should be baptized.

Whereas; paedobaptists agree that pagans raised outside the church must be able to profess faith before baptism.

Therefore, be it resolved; evidence of catechumen classes before baptism in the early church does not (of itself) provide legitimate evidence against paedobaptism.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Klayton Carson @jarsofKlay]

Does anyone have that stickman GIF that explains what happened and how it's not a contradiction?

[Atheistboi @athiestboi]

in Matthew, Judas hangs himself. in Acts, he falls headlong and his body bursts open. one Judas, two accounts, and somehow we’re told there are no contradictions.
