I am not so sure I have had any real radical changes. I essentially still hold to the same things I did when I was a young Christian. Calvinistic, Covenantal, Amil, Baptist who holds to a strong liking for the KJV and Majority texts. I have been a member of a few Presbyterian Denominations. Love the Covenanter Spirit because I was a member of the RPCNA in the late 80's. I was introduced to a more systematic approach to theology through the Covenanters. But I have never been a Paedo Baptist even though I have studied the doctrine quite intently and understand its philosophical pull in theology.

I flirted with trying to understand Charismatics during the 80's but never found their arguments to hold water or be supported by Scripture. I truly credit my first Pastor for teaching me well and inoculating me with the truth so that I would remain faithful to the Scriptures. He was the one who informed me that I was a Calvinist when I didn't even know what one was. He was confessional and a truly Puritanical Pastor. God was very good to me when he placed me in Pastor Joe Gwyn's presence. He taught me to seek for a heart after God's own heart first and then to seek for wisdom. I developed a love for the Word of God first off and then for the writings of Good learned men who have led me in the way of life by their writings and Sermons.
