John MacArthur: Distinguished Calvinist Preacher.

[Carbon]

I have nothing but respect for the man. But on the baptism issue I would vehemently disagree with him. Respectfully. I was raised Baptist. I would attend a Baptist church. I would not become a member however out of respect for what they believe.

Same here.

If I’m allowed

@Carbon get back with me after you've read the Left Behind series!!!! And then read Strange Water. Then we can talk.

Until then!

(and btw, I've been giving you a hard time just because) 😂

Now, back to baby moisturizing!

I once believed in that garbage.

So I will not read it, sorry bro.

Bigots eh? Besides you would love to have me. I'm a nice guy.

Me to. I have come full circle. I am now a Preterist. The Orthodox type. 😁

Oh, now, it's not as bad as "Dealing with the Devil" by C. S. Lovett! (btw I was not being serious about reading Left Behind)

So I will not read it, sorry bro.

Now, now, you're uptight and missed my point.

Bigots? By definition both sides would be bigoted.

Not Presbyterian and not Baptist. He claimed to be evangelical years before that went the wrong route. He started off IFCA though.

He believes that baptism is by immersion and for believers. Yes, he's certainly evangelical (in the proper sense) and, I believe, a man of God.

When I first got saved I listened to him on the radio, and wondered why he made so much more sense than the independent baptists I listened to. Now I know why. I have much respect for him.

I remember when Sproul died in 2017, bawled like a baby. I'm sure the same will come if JMac dies before me.

The first church I attended was Baptist; and John MacArthur is a much, much better preacher than that pastor was, so I can certainly understand what you're saying.

My sense of humor, LOL!!!!!!!!

Better than what I tell my son; "Son, we don't waterboard babies over here!"

 

[David1701]

Ah, yep. I suppose

I believe in immersion for believers only myself; but, I usually avoid getting into arguments about it, since the gospel is far more important; and "baby moisturizing" is funny!

You're on a roll! I haven't heard either of those before.

Same here. I listened to him, Sproul, Lloyd-Jones, Boice, Kennedy, and wondered what is was about them that I got so much more.

Um...because they were Reformed, and then I never even knew they were or what it even meant. LOL!!!!!!!

I've also listened to Sproul, Boice and M. Lloyd-Jones - all excellent. I've haven't heard Kennedy.
