Back Then: 5 points + 5 solas + covenantal (specifically with infant bapstism)

Later: 5 points + 5 solas + hold to a reformed confession (WCF, Belgic, LBC II)

TODAY: 5 points + 5 solas + overally Christian worldview and *some* covenantalism. This includes reformed baptists as well as all the presby folks. And yes, it even includes MacArthur. There's a quote from MacArthur on podcast I need to dig up, but if you hear it (and it's him talking about 1 Cor. 7), you'd swear he was paedo and had accepted covenant theology.

And all orthodox positions on the 2nd coming have a rapture. The word simply means 'caught up' (translated from the latin 'rapere' in the Vulgate version of 1 Thess. 4:16). The only thing all of the positons differ on is the TIMING of the rapture and exactly what happens after that.

Don't be so quick to throw out biblical terminology just to spite dispensationalism.
