I just wanted to introduce myself. If you were curious, I am from Gainesville, FL and that is where the University of Florida is. So that is how I came up with my screen name. If you can't tell I was grasping for straws when trying to come up with a screen name.
I guess I'll give my testimony here. I was born in Charleston, SC in 1988, and then moved to Gainesville, FL in 1990. I grew up in a Southern Baptist home, and so that is where I get my roots from.
I believe that I was saved at a very young age. I understood the basic truth of the gospel when I was a child, and that was that I was sinner and needed a savior. I however understood this is an Arminian or even a Pelagian sense of the gospel. I moved on to a more Arminian view of the gospel as I got older. Anyways I graduated from high school in 2006 and ended up going to Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, and I am going into my senior year there. When I got to Mercer I quickly got involved with RUF (Reformed University Fellowship), a PCA campus organization, and got introduced to the doctrines of grace. I struggled dearly with them, and I really had to wrestle with God over those. I finally came around, though, and finally accepted the truth.
Having been in RUF, I have been introduced to paedo-baptism and covenant theology, and how they relate to each other. So I would probably call myself reformed baptist or a baptisterian as I like to call it. I believe to have a very basic understanding of the issues, and so please excuse my ignorance.
And I am probably already pretty famous on this board because of that Romanism comment I made on the dunking vs. sprinkling thread. All I can say is that sometimes all you can do is look back at some of the things that we did in the past and laugh at your own lack of judgment and stupidity.And again I apologize for the comment.
And brothers, I encourage you to be patient with me. I am quite the infant when it comes to Reformed Theology. I would greatly appreciate it, though, if those who are way more versed in Reformed Theology than I am could just point me in the right direction.
