    My buddy Dave!

    I want to welcome my buddy Dave to the PB. He's a reformed Baptist and the 'voice crying in the wilderness' at the liberal campus of Beloit College. I am proud to know him and proud to say he's holding his own in that place.

    Dave has been a blessing to me for nearly 8 years now. He has a fabulous baritone and a fabulous family.

    Welcome my friend!

    I remember the article and enjoyed reading it again. I was glad to read someone intelligently answering the standard absurdity that circulates in institutions of "higher education".

    I remember that thread too and the article. Since you have introduced him I'm assuming he has joined the PB. If not, how many of your friends are you going to introduce us to?

    I still think we can have a Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin of the of the PB.

    Thanks, guys, for the welcome. I'm tired of dancing to the pipings of the Arminians. I need someplace where I don't have to (figuratively) shake my head at every other thing someone says. If Bob V. is typical of the group, then I'm at the right place now.

    I wouldn't say Bawb is typical of any group, as he is one of a kind, but he is great to have around.

    Hey, guys, I'm real and for real. My ulterior motive for joining was to have you help me locate a quote from J. C. Ryle. Somewhere (in his Expository Thoughts, I believe) he states that, to paraphrase, the doctrine of perseverance is the great common ground between Calvinism and Arminianism. Where is that quote? Anyone know?

    I'm not going to answer if it means you might leave after solving the mystery.

    Ok, I'll take the chance. He kind of alludes to it in this paragraph.
    It is to one special truth in the list of a believer's privileges that I now desire to direct your attention this day. That truth is the doctrine of perseverance, —the doctrine that true Christians shall never perish or be cast away. It is a truth which the natural heart has bitterly opposed in every age. It is a truth which for many reasons deserves particular attention at the present time. Above all, it is a truth with which the happiness of all God's children is most closely connected.
    This is taken from this sermon: Never Perish* --* J. C. Ryle

    Nope. The terms Calvinism and Arminianism appear in it, I'm pretty sure. Another clue: Pastor Ron McKinney cited Ryle on this in an ancient issue of Sword & Trowel.
