Maybe even create a Introductory Forum that non-members could post to asking questions about Calvinism and people could answer them. If it got bad - block the person.

Okay-- I'll call the magazine, and tell them to make a follow-up issue titled Old, Feeble, and Reformed.Originally posted by BobVigneault
Young, Restless, Reformed. I LIKE IT!!! But I'm 50 now. I don't think I can accept 'young' as a legitimate description.
Calvinism is making a comeback-and shaking up the church

Bob, we are still VERY young at heart! We are eternally young in the Lord!
Absolutely right brother Ivan. To prove it, you hold Ryan while I wallop him with my walker.

We've arrived!
We should troll the CT website and blogs and post links to the PB to see what happens. Maybe even create a Introductory Forum that non-members could post to asking questions about Calvinism and people could answer them. If it got bad - block the person.

So that would require them to register for that site. I was trying to think of a way to encourage them to join us if they're qualified without requiring them to register again. That could provide the best of both worlds - the ability to control who posts there as well as who gets admitted here - and one registration only. I'm just brainstorming.

I cannot find a copy of it from the big magazine seller.

That's why Liberty seminary head Ergun Caner is getting so upset, and turns his sermons into one-hour violent verbal polemics (start video around the 48th minute) against Presbyterians and Reformed sects. He makes up ad hominems and erects straw man arguments to attack.
However, their own muddled theology doesn't hold water; and they know it, and the thinking students know it.
I can testify to the reality that their seminary and undergrad institution are losing their best and brightest. The attrition rate to Reformed seminaries and Bible colleges bothers the administration, particularly Falwell and Caner. This explains why they turn the pulpit into a soapbox for angry polemics against Calvinism and the Reformation faith. Most of my friends pursuing ministry whether the pastorate or missions from Liberty in undergrad left and opted for seminaries that were full of Reformed teachers, or explicitly Reformed in their doctrinal affirmations.

Is it possible to allow new members who don't yet subscribe to WCF or LBCF to have a limited membership area and only gain full board access when and if any of them come to a point of subscribing to the confessions?? A place where the more learned members who are pastors, elders, or very mature in the Lord enough can field the questions that may be asked?
I think this might be better for some of those who come in here with absolutely no clue as to the height and depth of true historical reformed Christian theology. I know that I was completely clueless of nearly everything 11 yrs ago when I first hear RC Sproul and I had to start from square one.
When I arrived here at the PB, even after 9 or so years later of trying to self teach myself while still attending my Charismatic church, I had to look up terms or just figure them out. I was translating all kinds of things you guys were saying. It is definitely a new language and huge paradigm shift from the modern churches. I am staggered now of just how ignorant I was of scripture, soteriology, all of it. I was saying WOW! to myself nearly everyday as the scriptures were finally opened up to me under good teachers like we have here. I would say I have learned more in the last 2 years in a Reformed Church/Seminary and this board than all of those years just bumbling around.
I just think and infant in the Lord, as many coming out of modern churches are, might benefit from a structure of that sort where it's known, this is where you can ask anything even if it seems silly and really basic. Like what terms mean etc. It's possible I am just exceptionally slow but I know none of my modern church peers, who haven't run away screaming yet, have no clue what I am talking about half the time, so maybe not.
