An acquaintance of mine, that is leading abible study about 50 miles north of me in hopes that it will become a church plant if the Lord wills, lost his grown daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter in a traffic accident. It was one of those raod rage accidents and the other driver was going over 100 miles an hour. His name is Steven Woods, please pray for he and his wife during this time. May God be glorifies and Steven shared with me that His grace has been abundant during this time. He also said that as a result of recently studying the attributes of God including His sovereignty, it helped keep things in context. Steve also asked that we pray that the Lord may be pleased to use this time to soften hearts so the gospel may be received. Praise the Lord, that can happen to any of us at any time. Perhaps some of the readers of this Blog have gone through this type of trial. I have 2 daughters not at home with us, one in Birmingham Alabama, and one in south Florida. We are no better than any other family, yet I ask the Lord regularly to put a hedge of protection around them, because of His kindmess and mercy alone. To God be the glory, great things He hath done, and continues to do!
With all the discussion going on about whether Presbyterians are biblical churches because of infant baptism, I would like to ask if we believe that Arminian Baptist churches are legitimate churches? If a Baptist Church, regardless of their affiliation if any, believes in a universal, insufficient atonement by Christ, issuch Baptist Church really a biblical church? And if so, how can we say that it is when it involves the very heart of the gospel in the atonement. Further, how can we say that those Presbyterian churches that believe in a particular, sufficient atonement yet infant baptism are not biblical, yet those that believe in a universal, insufficient atonement yet believers baptism by immersion are biblical churches. Inquiring mind wants to know ;- ). Thanks..... P.S. Still Baptist and thank the Lord for it!
