Dear Coram Deo,
Same thing happend to me! I went to a grace brethren seminary (think john mc arthure). It started, oddly enough, with reading presuppositional apologetic writers who happened to be presbyterians (Bahnsen, Van Til, Frame).

And as I studied the doctrine of the covenants, it became more clear.

One thing a reformed pastor told me--and this was a big hang-up, because the confessions and baptismal orders in the Psalter and catechisms can sound "Catholic" to a Baptist, was not to confuse being in covenant with God and being justified before God.

My wife is still getting there and it's been what--5 yrs? But both our daughters are baptized. And looking at my kids from a covenantal perspective really gives me great impetus to teach them the way of the Lord.


My 3 yr old knows almost 50 Q's from the Catechism for Younger Children. Praise God!

So, jump in--the water's fine!
