Why Presbyterians baptize infants -- a concise yet extremely convincing 6-minute explanation by Jonny Gibson!
This turned into much more than I originally intended this evening. It's kind of a 🧵 on my thoughts about baptism. I'm passionate about it - but I'll be the first to admit that my study of the topic to date is not yet well-developed. You're welcome to rip me to shreds.

One of the strengths of Calvinism is that it unequivocally submits to the justice of God as revealed in Scripture.
@J0RDANSCHAEFFER @ronhenzel @5SolasMissy I have a hard time understanding the mindset of a professing believer who would feel inclined to sit in judgement of their creator regarding what is fair. Deviating from the plain reading of Ex 33:19 is the leaning on your own understanding that Pr 3:5 warns against. I just does

Van Til was right about Barth. (That Barth denied the bodily resurrection of Christ in real time, space and history.) Prove me wrong.

Amazing news that I honestly didn’t believe would happen - Jonny Gibson will be installed as lead TE at Tenth! The church will be enriched immeasurably by Jonny’s preaching gifts! I pray that the Lord will strengthen and sustain him - and that he will continue to look to his

Why don’t we have any decent publishers reproducing sets of Vermigli? @JoelBeeke ?
White Horse Inn plays a tierlist game of some of the best and worst theologians in church history. Where would you rank Peter Martyr Vermigli?

There seems to be a direct correlation between the consistency of my Bible reading during the week and the degree of my joy in the presence of God on the Lord's Day.

ATHEIST CHALLENGE: Read 5-10 Chapters of the Bible on a daily basis for just a single month, following the general pattern of the Professor Grant Horner Plan. Tell me what you believe at the end of the month.
THEIST CHALLENGE: Stop practicing your religion for all of 2026 - No church, no praying, no Bible, no related rituals, no confession, no theistic videos, etc etc - And you have to spend just an hour each week learning about cosmology and biology

The particularizing nature of special grace is not a call to question God's character. Rather, it is a call to Christians to take to heart the extraordinary grace made available to the believer and to live in that special power for all it is worth. Christ hasn't given us

It's not controversial to reject hypothetical universalism as incompatible with Reformed orthodoxy. Lot's of orthodox Reformed theologians did it. Heidegger and Turretin drafted a confession, in part, to reject it. It held for 50 years until broad evangelicalism weakened the

Amen!!
Something the some don't understand. The church isn't a game. It's not a debating society. It's the embassy of the Kingdom of God to the world. When I was ordained I took vows to uphold and defend the Word of God as confessed by the churches. So, yes, in the church, I, along

@CalebDixonSmith I'm fairly certain that we can show That the overwhelming consensus of the ancient church before the eighth century was opposed to images. That's a fact. When a relative of the emperor asked Eusebius of Caesarea if she could have an image of the Son, he said no. We don't do

The question whether because God the Son became incarnate Christians are free to create images of him has plagued the church since just after the close of the canon. The ancient church, however,...

Don’t let football ruin your Lord’s Day sabbath. Men, walk the narrow road; reject this desecration of the Lord’s Day! God wants to bless you with an entire day focused upon Him! It will transform your life if you give it a chance! In eternity, you won’t be remiss that you

@iamAtheistGirl I totally agree -- if you do not fear God, you are a wicked person. It really comes down to either fearing God, or fearing men. And don't try to convince me that you fear neither. Those who fear God are liberated from the fear of man. And God is the only one who is worthy

If you are an atheist who is seeking after evidence, I suggest starting here -
@paulogia0 You are asking this question as a fallen human being. That's why you are even asking this question. If you weren't a fallen, corrupted human being, the truth of God's existence would be so far beyond questioning that it would simply be irrational to even entertain the question.

Answering an interesting question: If God saves all who want to be saved, where does it leave all Roman Catholics who presumably wish to be saved?
@John_6__47 @Nanndy16 As a general statement, I don't think I would say that "Roman Catholics want to be saved." There are plenty of people who call themselves Christians who don't truly want to be saved. Being saved means to be crucified with Christ. We need to be able to echo in our hearts what
