Daniel R. Hyde is pastor of Oceanside URC, my colleague and friend. This is a valuable resource. He is a graduate of WSC, a husband and the father of two boys. He is also a contributor to the Puritanboard.

Hilarious! Do you mean all those books written by "Chuck Swindoll" weren't really his?

Thankfully I learned from a good seminary (props to Westminster Cali.) how to read, research, and write.

You couldn't read or write before you went to seminary? I mean wow! Those guys at WSC took someone who couldn't even read or write and now he's published. They truly are supermen there! ;):lol:

In all seriousness, I look forward to reading your book.:book2:
 
Hold on a minute. Is this book advocating infant baptism? I thought Calvin only kept doing that because he hadn't fully Reformed from being Roman Catholic.

Which is why baptists are even more Reformed than Calvin! :p

I bet that closet Romanist Calvin advocated a set liturgy too...

I thought only people like Dave Hunt repeated such nonsense but I heard Gene Cook, a Reformed Baptist minister, say that on his podcast.
 
I would like to take this opportunity to make a blankfaced mention that Calvin once admitted that the ancient method of baptism was by immersion. Don't ask me to give a citation, we all know it's true! :D

Given Jay Adams says that immersionists gleefully quote Calvin on that, I'd say the rumours are true. He didn't really try to free Calvin from that statement, so I'd guess that even with his allotment of 30 or more pages to write with, he thought it impossible. :)

. . .

Man, I feel like this lecture is based entirely upon gossip! Where is that quote? :D

Is this book advocating the counter-reformation :)

On a serious note, this book looks good. Gotsa order me a copy!

If you want to better understand what is at stake as it relates to baptism, I recommend this great lecture by Dr Clark...

Andrew,

Will you post a review of it in the Book Reviews section?

Incidentally, I'm really confused:

I've heard Pastor Doug Wilson repeatedly assert that those who oppose FV theology are baptistic.

But Pastor Hyde opposes the FV so why is he advocating baptism of children? :confused:
 
Andrew,

Thank you for the good word. Let me also apologize as I was made aware recently of several typos the editor, unfortunately, did not catch...ugghh!

I noticed a few, but promtly forgot them, so they weren't even enough of a bother for me to harass you about them ;)
