Tom,
Does the admonition in James 3 apply to those who assume the role of a teacher? Let me answer that question with scripture.
Matthew 12:36 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
The word for "idle" means, "to be free from labor." Basically, a word given without knowing what it means. I would counsel Christians who are internet savvy to consider the source of the teaching they receive. The PB is grounded in the word of God as explained in the confessions. Even though the WCF and LBCF disagree on doctrines like baptism, they are agreed in most major areas. This gives us a solid foundation and a safety net that guards the teaching received here.
