Did God simply choose the church as a whole?   Confessing the Faith is a theological and devotional walk through the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith with host Sam Waldron, Pastor of Grace Reformed Baptist Church in Owensboro, KY and President of Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary.   Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary is a Confessional Reformed Baptist Seminary Providing affordable online theological education to help the Church in its calling to train faithful men.

Studying the lives of children of well known Particular Baptist pastors can be instructive.

Today we’ll look at the lives of two of Benjamin Keach’s children, Elias and Hannah, and see these principles illustrated.

In the year 1807, James Haldane, after having sprinkled an infant, was accosted by his little son, a child of six years old, with the pertinent question, “Father, did that child believe?” “No,” said the surprised parent, “why do you ask me such a question?” “Because, father, I have read the whole of the New Testament, and I find that all who were baptised, believed. Did the child believe?” It was enough. God’s simple truth, which had been hidden from the wise and prudent, was revealed to the babe. The strange question, “Did the child believe?” haunted the mind of that father, until, after a thorough examination, he renounced his former errors, and was publicly immersed. His brother Robert soon followed his example." Quoted in Alexander Carson, Baptism, its Mode and Subjects.

Edwards desired to defend the Christian understanding of what virtue is, opposing the rationalist understanding which diminished divine revelation.

Should we sing in public worship? Can you defend this from a scriptural basis? What shall we sing? Should it only be psalms or scripture in meter or uninspired human compositions? How should we sing? Should it be done solo or with the whole congregation? In the late 17th Century Hymn-singing controversy in Particular Baptist churches, these questions were vigorously taken up. They were thought to be important because it was a matter of the right worship of God. What lessons can we learn from this controversy?

"Your old Sunday School teacher was wrong when she told you that God created the world because He was lonely! He does not even need creation to be God. He was the blessed and only sovereign before and without creation. Modern men and contemporary theologians find it difficult in their minds to reconcile the classical theism of the Christian tradition and the Scriptures with a God who is relational. The fault is in their minds and logic not in classical theism."

The Weekly Discourse | Dr. Tom Ascol lists some of the elements of “the new religion” and at the end of the lecture points us to what is the desperate need of the Church in this tumultuous hour, revival. We hope you will be edified and encouraged by this talk as you seek to faithfully navigate this perilous time.  Today’s lecture begins with the subject of intersectionality and moves into what is really a crucial concept for us to understand – and that is that the rise of many such dangerous ideologies today should not be attributed simply to some kind of atheistic secularism or materialism, but it should really be attributed to the rise of a New Religion or a resurgent paganism. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend Dr. Peter Jones’ book “One or Two” where he fleshes out in detail the tenets of what he calls one-ism. In the course, Dr. Ascol quotes Peter Jones as saying, “An ideology is taking over the West which is both very spiritual and self-consciously anti-Christian. It intends ever so subtly without ever saying so explicitly to grind the gospel into the dust bin of history.” He goes on to say “Whereas Scripture affirms two-ism (Creator-creature distinction and all the distinctions God creates in the cosmos he made), one-ism categorically affirms that things are not two, but one. In a cosmos without a creator, all distinctions collapse and man is god.” This is fundamentally at odds with two-ist Christianity with the biblical Creator-creature distinction. Jones goes on to ask, “What will happen to gospel witness when Western culture is ‘purified’ of its literary canon and its Christian ethical past? The church must still speak and live out all issues of fundamental truth, whatever the cost. Not to save America, but to save souls from eternal doom.” The Weekly Discourse usually features a lecture which has been taken from a course at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary.

The Weekly Discourse | We are continuing to listen to Dr. Tom Hicks as he discusses Benjamin Keach’s critique of the errors of Richard Baxter and others on Justification. Benjamin Keach believed that the doctrine of Richard Baxter had serious and devastating consequences on the church and he set about to critique the errors, most notably in his work “The Marrow of True Justification.” This is the 5th of a series of lectures we have shared with you from our recent 2020 fall modular course on the Life and Theology of Benjamin Keach.

According to JI packer, “Baxter actually sowed the seeds of moralism with regard to sin, Arianism with regard to Christ, legalism with regard to faith and salvation, and liberalism with regards to God.” Benjamin Keach joined other notable theologians such as John Owen in writing against Baxter’s views of Justification in his work The Marrow of True Justification: Justification without works. We were recently joined by Dr. Tom Hicks for our 2020 fall modular course on the Life and Theology of Benjamin Keach.

Confessing the Faith | "Here the Confession answers the question, How or in what way the Scriptures are sufficient for us? The contrast may not be as clear  in the 1689 as it is in the Westminster which says: “is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture.”  "The Baptists changed the wording not because they were against good and necessary consequence, but because they were suspicious of what their Presbyterian friends thought was good and necessary consequence from Scriptures. They embraced the concept but wanted to tighten the language."

“He described his prison cell as ‘a hole in the earth’ and compared it to slaughterhouses of men. He wrote to friends that it was a “living tomb, a sink of filth, profaneness and profligacy.’ His circumstances were hard…and yet, God drew near with grace. In another letter he describes the ‘overruling grace which makes his cell a prison chamber of the great King.’ He believed he was incarcerated by the ‘wise hand of my heavenly Father.’ He did not and he would not give up even a small part of his profession to gain his release. Why? To shift or evade prison was to let go of the royal right of Christ to exclusively set up his worship, and Christ and his rights were worth more than all his comforts.” If you were born to genuine Christian parents who had you sprinkled as an infant and then raised you to know Christ, what would make you change your mind about baptism? If you were a minister who held those beliefs, what could convince you otherwise? How far would you go to live according to your conscience in this matter before God? What if it cost you your life?

Confessing the Faith | "The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down or necessarily contained in the Holy Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelation of the Spirit, or traditions of men."

The Credobaptist position is not rooted in an overly simplistic biblicism. It is rooted in a right view of the sanctity of God’s worship, the nature of the New Testament Church (as consisting of saints), and a proper understanding of the Biblical Covenants. This is not a dispensational or anabaptistic set of arguments, but is thoroughly Protestant and Reformed in nature. If you were born to genuine Christian parents who had you sprinkled as an infant and then raised you to know Christ, what would make you change your mind about baptism? If you were a minister who held those beliefs, what could convince you otherwise? How far would you go to live according to your conscience in this matter before God? What if it cost you your life?

What is the place of the Church in God’s eschatological plan? There are many differing opinions out there. Most of us were taught that the Church was just a parenthesis in God’s plan to fulfill prophesy. Yet, if we are following the interpretation of the Apostles, we come to a very different conclusion. In fact,  the church is the fulfillment of end times prophesy.  Sam Waldron, Pastor of Grace Reformed Baptist Church of Owensboro, KY talks about this in the midst of his exposition of the counsel of Jerusalem in Acts 15 in the following sermon, titled, the Eschatological Issue of the Jerusalem Council.

The Weekly Discourse | "So many teach expository preaching and preach expositorily, and yet little of Christ was in the message...when you do that, I believe that you are hiding Christ from the people." In the coming weeks we will be kicking off a live class in Clinton, LA taught by Dr. Fred Malone on the subject of Preaching Christ from all of Scripture.

How do you order your prayers? How much thought do you give to what you pray for and how you organize your petitions? Should we pray whatever we feel, or what comes into our mind in a random, unorganized fashion? Or should we rather take time and give thought to who we are addressing, what we are asking for, and then ordering our petitions in a way which reflects the prayers of Scripture? You might think that the word argument is not a fitting description for prayer. Well, Charles Spurgeon would disagree. On July 15th, 1866, he preached his classic sermon at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Order and Argument in Prayer.

The Weekly Discourse | It could be that one of the last things you have given thought to with the distractions of the past 6 months is the subject of evangelism and open-air preaching. To many of us, it seems to be getting more and more difficult with the added complications of social distancing and what seems to be a significant increase of open hostility from our culture. Today I talk with Pastor Josh Williamson to discuss the subject of open-air preaching & evangelism. Josh is an Australian Pastor / Evangelist who is passionate about equipping the church to give answers to the questions the world is asking, and reaching out to the lost. Since receiving Christ in 2002, Josh has had a drive to make Jesus Christ known to as many people as would listen. Over the years the Lord has opened many doors for ministry, including preaching opportunities in several countries and pastoring in both Australia and the UK. Josh holds a postgraduate Diploma in Theology from Malyon College in Queensland, and has also completed studies through the London Reformed Baptist Seminary. He is currently enrolled at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary.  Josh resides in Newquay, Cornwall, with his wife, Louise, and their three children, Thomas, Elizabeth, and Henry and serves as the Pastor at Newquay Baptist Church. joshwilliamson.org

Confessing the Faith | The Scripture does not mean what Rome says it means. The Scripture means what it says it means.

Sermon Select | You are listening to Sermon Select on the Man of God Network, brought to you by Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary. Our Good Shepherd has blessed his church with faithful under-shepherds, and for this we ought to be exceedingly grateful.

Confessing the Faith | The Scripture is Self-Authenticating. That is to say, it does not have authority because of (as the Confession says) “the testimony of even man or church.” We do not believe the Bible because of the testimony of an infallible church or an expert historian, but on the basis of altogether higher authority. We believe it and follow it because it is the Word of God.

Sermon Select | One thing that we can be sure of in this life is that we will be faced with the temptation to compromise our faith and practice. The world, the flesh and the devil apply constant pressure to the church of God, at times threatening death or damages upon those who don’t get on the “right side of history”. These compromises usually seem relatively harmless, hidden or inconsequential, but in reality they are deadly. We must hold fast to our confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ through pains or even death.  John Miller, Pastor of Grace Baptist Church of Carlisle, PA encourages us to hold fast to our Confession in the following sermon, titled, Jesus Warns the Church in Pergamum Against Compromise.

As society moves on from the Word of God and the Law of our Lord Jesus Christ, the church seems to be faced with significant danger and difficulty in the years to come.

Sermon Select | What is the Bible about? Is there a unifying theme which makes sense of all of its parts? In a day where the Bible is used to sell diets, self-help principles, and therapeutic programs, we need to step back and realize that the Bible is not primarily about us.
