Some time back Dr. Clark cured me of calling myself "reformed" or "Calvinisitic". I understand and accept his explanation. I don't care for the tag of "particular" either. It holds no meaning today. I understand its historical underpinnings and, of course, agree with them, but it is not a label I care to carry these days.

"Evangelical" doesn't mean much these days. "Baptist" conjures many negative images. Even the name "Christian" poses its problems. Of course, I accept the names "Baptist" and "Christian". However, what about this?...an apprentice of the LORD Jesus Christ.

That I am.
