Just a reminder - my quoting of any theologian is not necessarily a personal endorsement of or agreement with that quote. I post things I find interesting or of some significance.

@DracoReformans bio says he is a PhD student and published author yet he has less knowledge of his theological opponent’s position than my 8 year old. Sad. Is this the standard of modern academics?.

Timothy is either very very uneducated in the most basic principles of 1689F, or just a blatant slanderer. Either way he should delete this post and apologize for lying.
What do the judaizers and the 1689 federalists have in common?. They both assume that the old covenant was a covenant of works to be justified by. Paul corrects both parties in Galatians

Although not uncommon to see 16th c reformed theologians to use language like the old covenant “revived” THE covenant of works.
❌ The old covenant was THE covenant of works republished. ✅ The old covenant was a typological covenant of works.

I watched all 6 minutes and unfortunately remained quite less than extremely convinced. It did convince me that if this is infant baptism's most convincing biblical argument, than woah boy they've got some work to do.

It was a joy to fellowship today with the saints at Church of the Cross outside Champaign, IL! @GarettRKerber fed us the Word and the congregation afterwards fed us an amazing lunch. The Lord’s Day, the Lord’s gathered Church, can’t beat it!

Important, and a primary reason why I’d fellowship with the URCNA above most other denoms.
Continental Reformed churches such as the URCNA (United Reformed Churches in North America) recognize the local consistory (elders and pastors) as the "only continuing body" among the assemblies of the church. I.e., the local church is in a sense primary. @ReformedDC . 1/8.

If you are Anglican or Lutheran: At set prayer times in your home (before meals, etc) does your family most commonly recite a form prayer or pray extemporaneously?.

This and the part of the thread after it are really important. Denying paedobaptism doesn’t mean you have a new familial connection with all antipaedobaptists. My view on baptism is a result of my reformed and congregational convictions.
. Disagreement over paedobaptism was but one discreet doctrinal controversy, and to deny the legitimacy of the practice did not immediately imbue one with a new sense of pan-Baptist identity. Instead, we see that many rejecting paedobaptism. .

“All christians”. Like the Waldenses, abigenses, Paulicians and Petrobrussians? What he means is the pontiff had his hordes burn, pillage, rape, and murder anyone before Luther who didn’t submit to his unbiblical accretions.
Before Luther all Christians, . 1) Prayed to Mary.2) Believed in the Eucharist.3) Had Bibles with more than 66 books.4) Prayed for the dead.5) Made the sign of the Cross. The “Reformation” didn’t reform anything. It was a Rebellion and Revolution.

I started reading the Chronicles of Narnia to my kids a few weeks ago. A couple days ago, after seeing the next chapter on our list was “deeper magic from before the dawn of time”, we had an amazing discussion about the Law, Christ, God’s decree, and the covenant of redemption.
As a younger man, I never imagined that reading books to my children would be one of my favorite things to do. Christian men: read good books out loud to your children!.

Particular Baptists have been right about the Anglican Church for 400 years. LTRU.
Something you don’t see every day: a Catholic Mass being celebrated in Canterbury Cathedral—once the very heart of the English Reformation—led for the first time by the Pope’s ambassador to the UK, in honour of the martyred St Thomas Becket.

He’s right. When one side has no prescription, no description, and their whole argument rests on extra biblical history and a very loose defining of “good and necessary consequence”. There’s no real debate.
Infant baptism is not a real debate.
