Puritan Board Senior
Brothers, I could really use some Proverbs 27:17 iron sharpening from the men on this board for a video project I have been putting together.
While we have our lively debates over baptism in other threads (fun yes? I hope so), when it comes to the Definite Atonement of our Lord Jesus Christ, confessional Presbyterians and 1689 Particular Baptists stand shoulder to shoulder in the exact same trench.
It took me many months to make this video to address a problem I see creeping in up close around me:
the quiet murmuring of silent and downlow four-point Calvinism inside broader Calvinistic and Baptist circles, especially in church fellowships and denominations like mine that heartily allow for the 1689 Confession on paper while also tolerating looser evangelical frameworks.
Whenever a robust covenant theology gets watered down or treated as optional (NCT? PC? 1689? all good here), Christ's work as the Federal Head and Surety of the New Covenant gets blurry, and a low, leaky view of the atonement I fear is not too far behind.
If any of you have an hour and a half (or bite-sized few minutes here and there as there are obvious break points) please grab a cup of joe and watch, and please do not spare my feelings. I would love your honest feedback:
