Baptism Debate Thursday Evening
James White, , Reformed Baptist Issues
I will update you on the details a bit more later, but I am doing an on-line “debate” with Gregg Strawbridge on baptism this Thursday evening, 8pm EST. At the moment I am uncertain of all the details as to whether we will be able to webcast it or not. It seems others will be using Skype, so I’m wondering

Radio Free Geneva: A Nearly Three Hour Examination of “Traditional” Anthropology
James White, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Just avoided going for a full three hours, but we reviewed Dr. Leighton Flowers’ podcast from September 26, 2016, which was ostensibly about those who never hear, but was much more about how Calvinism is a bad theology. In any case, it gave us the foundation for looking very carefully at Flowers’ views, as they are being presented to a

An Important New Item in the A&O Bookstore
James White, , Reformed Baptist Issues
Years ago when I announced, for the first time, my eschatological position on the program (had a lot of fun teasing folks with that one), I mentioned that the key to my coming to my conclusions was a series of lectures by Greg Nichols, then of the Trinity Ministerial Academy. I listened to a series of old cassette tapes (for

The Didache (~150): Baptism is by Immersion and for Converts
Chris Whisonant, , Baptism, Church Fathers, Church History, Reformed Baptist Issues
The Didache relates that a person should be immersed in living (moving) water or standing water. If that isn't possible, then pouring water thrice on the head is an acceptable alternative. For the early church, pouring was not the normative.

Roman Meme Theology, Data Mining the Bible and Qur’an, Wael Ibrahim, and a Live Viewing of Kent Hovind
James White, , General Apologetics, Islam, King James Onlyism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized
Started off with a Meme Theology segment looking at a Roman Catholic meme discussing authority and history, then moved on to an article pretending to compare the Old and New Testaments with the Qur’an regarding violence, based upon textual “data mining,” and then returned to examining the Wael Ibrahim/Lincoln Loo debate. But then someone tweeted the newest Kent Hovind video

Cultic KJVOism, then a Deep Dive into Theological Method
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, King James Onlyism, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Went more than 90 minutes today starting off with a warning about the abusive forms of cultic KJVOism out there, looking at the Ruckman-esque behavior of one Cody Zorn, a KJV pastor down in Georgia. Then we did a major shift in direction and did a full hour lecture on theology, Scripture, and how we define our faith. We eventually

The Nicene Creed is Primarily Based on Scripture
Chris Whisonant, , Church Fathers, Church History, Reformed Baptist Issues
There is an increasing emphasis today on the primacy of Aristotelian (or Thomistic) Metaphysical Philosophy in the formulation of the Christian Creeds. I have seen some statements such as “like, the grounding for literally all the creeds.” as well as this from a friend “any time you are teaching the Nicene creed, or any reformed confession with
