Pastors @howertonjosh and @jobymartin have apparently hired the same "Church Generosity Firm" Generis (kid you not on that name), a firm that promotes the "God-inspired visions" of any and all religious groups, to design their +$200M fundraising campaigns.

What?
It is easy to be frustrated by moral decay, but forcing unregenerate people to behave more morally is a solution God never gave us.

Glad Gustav Adolfsdag! King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden fell on this day in 1632 at the Battle of Lützen. A devout Lutheran, his military leadership defended and preserved the Protestant faith in Europe during the Thirty Years' War. Prior to charging into the fog of battle, he prayed aloud with his troops, saying: "Fight them, my dear countrymen and friends, for God, your country, and your King. Forward in God’s name; Jesu! Jesu! Jesu! help us to strive today to the honour of thy Holy Name."

Today, the Church remembers Gustavus Adolphus who granted the charter for New Sweden colony in the Delaware Valley and thus planted the first Lutheran Churches in PA and DE.

I’m excited to announce that after last Saturday’s rugby match, my knee has found this great 165° locked angle where it doesn’t flex or extend #HasAnyoneSeenMyLCL

Got a political text about the Mississippi senate race today. The location tracking can't be as good as some tinfoil hat guys say it is

Any Baptist retrieval that doesn’t involve becoming 1689 is in a real sense a failure to retrieve.

I didn’t know Dr. Clark had such strong views on this. Does anyone know if he’s written anything regarding this subject or ?

Rob, This is my last reply. We've been round this pole too many times already. May I, baptized only once, as an infant, join your Baptist congregation? No. Why not? Because you don't regard me as baptized. You just excluded that vast majority of baptized people in the history of the church. That's gatekeeping.

A lone wolf church is no more secure in its orthodoxy than a lone wolf Christian is. Baptists believe in associationalism.

Baptists, confessionally speaking, don’t embrace an “independent model.” A more accurate term would be autonomous because local congregations are self-ruled (auto+nomos), but that is not independency. Independency is antithetical to the ecclesiology of 2LCF
Replying to @TomHicks2LCF
Creo que el punto de la frase radica en la eclesiología. Los bautistas abrazan un modelo independiente, y un modelo independiente es antitético a un confesionalismo vinculante. La confesionalidad es un elemento optativo para ustedes, para nosotros es absolutamente necesario.
