Wow, first comment took it straight to Dr. R. Scott Clark. LOL.....Some Baptists just can't get over the facts. Good article though.

I've never heard of this group (Reformed Baptist Fellowship). Are they new?

'They' are not a grouping, rather it is a blog with some sound contributors like James White, Geoff Thomas, Jim Savastio, etc.

Very good, thank you.

It’s interesting that another thread had a link to a short interview of Lingon Duncan

The Resurgence of Calvinism - PRTS

about the resurgence of Calvinism, a fairly recent movement that he could trace back in its origins to

several influential figures, with the Reformed Baptists being represented by Spurgeon, MacArthur, Piper, Dever.

But when he was asked at PRTS what advise he would give to the young Reformed

(he didn’t mention how restless : ), he emphasized the importance, much more than just affirming a Reformed Soteriology to be focused on doing and living Church in a Biblical way.

On the context, imo, he was endorsing above all the need for going back to the Reformed Confessional Roots.

I can't agree more!!!

What, then, is the 'fellowship' aspect?

Ken,

There is also an email list for 1689 confessional pastors at:

rbf : Reformed Baptist Fellowship

The email list, blog, are to encourage and build relationships among confessional pastors. Through the list I have developed new friendships with fellow pastors, participated in church planting, talk to some of the brothers on the phone, etc...
