Smile Hey I'm new!

Well this is my first post! I joined recently because my wife (Kim G) is always telling me how great PB is. I have been reading several threads over the past few days and I see why she loves it. I am encouraged to see the many viewpoints without the bashing and name calling.

My wife and I have been studying some reformed theology. It is all very interesting since I come from a fundamental background. I don't know if I would call myself a fundamentalist per se, but I may not be totally reformed either.

It's great to finally be a member of the PB

Welcome, I once began where you are (theologically) and the PB is a great place to gain more knowledge.

Glad to have you with us! This is a great place to learn, whatever your background. Way back when I was a pretty strong dispensationalist myself. Even during my time on the board, several of my views have firmed up and others softened. Interesting place. Unless you talk about b******, e******** p*******, T***** R******, T*******, the F****** V*****, or try to defend President L****** . . . you are probably safe from getting yelled at and called too many names.
