Dear Gage,
Love the avatar mate. I remember buying "Wide Awake in America" when it first came out (too long ago).

Well Gage it's not anathema to me. No one person speaks for the reformed tradition as a whole. I certainly don't agree with everything Owen says. The reformed tradition (as Richard Muller has shown us) has lots of room to move on various issues.

Note carefully what I posted above; I didn't say there's no law / gospel distinction in the reformed tradition. There certainly is, and I said it was sharp. However, it is different to the Lutheran construal of the law / gospel distinction.
God bless bro.
