Hello from Queensland, Australia

Hi everyone. I am yet another David (seems to be a popular name here), this time from Mackay, in Queensland, Australia. I'm a fairly new Christian, having been converted in early 2008, and am also fairly new to Reformed theology. As a Pentecostal Christian, I was spiritually raised somewhere between both Arminianism and Calvinism, but now I am convinced that Calvinism and Reformed theology is completely biblical.

Anyway, pleased to meet you all.

Yes, I did notice a couple of Queenslanders. Good to know there are other Reformed Christians here; I don't know any in Mackay yet.

I just met a reformed baptist in Queensland, here in the US for a conference. If interested in connecting to a reformed baptist church, I can help you connect.
