What were the essential difference between Nevin and Hodge on the Lords Supper?
I regularly read D. G Harts blog Old Life, and he ocasionaly brings up John Williamson Nevin. I did some research on Nevin, and I've become pretty interested in his views on the Lords Supper. I'm considering ordering his book "The Mystical Presance" as well as D. G Harts biography of Nevin. I see that Nevin and Charles Hodge vigorously debated the issue. What were the main differences between... -
How many children do you plan to have?
Or do you plan at all? My wife and I have a daughter (2 years old) and definitely want more children. Did you have an idea of how many you wanted (Lord Willing) or none at all? -
Evangelism Thought Experiment
I love my neighbors very much. I pray for them on a regular basis. I also despise false teaching and pray that my neighbors would escape from the clutches of people who would turn them into merchandise (2 Pet. 2:3). In light of this, I've come up with a series of questions to help me think through different conversations in which I may well find myself. I'd love to hear some responses.
Q1. If... -
Hello!
Greetings. I used to be semi-involved in Facebook Reformed groups but having left that platform I've missed discussions with like-minded believers online. At present my wife and I are members of Heritage Reformed Baptist Church in North Canton, Ohio and I'm a student at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary out of Owensboro, KY with a call-to-ministry from the elders of my church.

A few Genseis questions... "You will surely die"... Please explain "die"?
1. When God says that when they eat f the fruit they will "die". He didnt mean immediate physical death, but he meant physical death at a later period of time. Is that right? Did he also mean a spiritual death/hell?
2. When Eve ate of the fruit from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil because it would "make one wise", wasnt that actually true: that it actually did make her more "wise"... -
A Modern Exposition of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith 5th Edition
I see in another post someone posted a footnote from Sam Waldron's "revised and corrected" edition of his Modern Exposition of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. Is there much change in this edition compared with previous editions? I am happy with my 3rd edition but unsure if I should get the recent edition. Thanks. -
Reformed Spartan Warrior
I was raised by my grandfather, Dr. Jay Wimberly, a Reformed Baptist preacher in north and central Florida. So when I say that by the time I entered the Army I was living deceived by a prosperity gospel, it should come as a surprise to most.
However, when I deployed to Baghdad, Iraq in 2005, the false prosperity gospel quickly failed me when a roadside bomb killed five from my unit one month... -
The Practical Theology of 1689 Federalism
How does 1689 Federalism's understanding of Covenant Theology, which they admit is different than that of 'vanilla' Confessional Baptists, work it's way out in practice? How would a 1689 Federalist church operate/worship differently than say, Dr. Waldron's church, for example?

Theology Doctrine
"That we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine…” (Ephesians 4:14)
Many people today react negatively to the words, “theology” and “doctrine.” They are said to involve dry, irrelevant matters, which have no bearing on real life. If that... -
