Personal profile for user screen name: DocTrinsograce A son of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob -- by the seed of the flesh as well as by the Spirit. Married to a Proverbs-31-wife -- one of the many of God's blessings that I do not deserve!A brief outline of my distinctive convictions (1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith): REFORMATIONAL: Sola Scriptura -- The Bible is the complete, closed, clear authority in all matters of faith Solus Christus -- Our confidence is in Jesus Christ alone for salvation Sola Gratia -- Grace secured redemption without reference to works Sola Fide -- We are declared righteous by God through faith alone Soli Deo Gloria -- Goal of creation and redemption is God's praise CALVINISTIC: Total Depravity -- The fall of Adam affected the totality of man's person Unconditional Election -- Election is not based on foreseen faith or works Limited Atonement -- Redemption was accomplished by Christ for the elect Irresistible Grace -- Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is efficacious for the elect Perseverance of the Saints -- God will, by grace, complete what He began in regeneration PURITAN: Godliness in Worship -- Regulative Principle of Worship; Lord's day as Christian Sabbath Godliness in Preaching -- Primacy of preaching; Both exposition and application emphasized Godliness in Instruction -- Confessional, catholic; Publishing what we believe the Bible teaches Godliness in Family -- Parents are to instruct (catechize) and discipline their children in the Lord Godliness in Behavior -- Maintaining a good conscience before God and man COVENANTAL: Unity of the Bible -- Many parts yet one message Christ-centered interpretation -- Jesus' person, work and kingdom is theme of Bible Law/Gospel distinction -- Law commands and condemns, Gospel saves One way of salvation -- Christ has saved all the elect throughout all the ages Optimistic view of history -- Jesus Christ is King ruling over all; He will soon come again BAPTIST: Biblical Church Practice -- Ordinances for believers only; loving and restorative Church discipline Biblical Church Freedom -- The state is not to intrude into matters of conscience Biblical Church Polity -- Elders and deacons (the local congregation chooses its leaders) Biblical Church Growth -- Gospel proclamation to the lost world (repentance and faith demanded of all) Biblical Church Ministry -- Priesthood of all believers "And Jesus said to them, 'Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old.'" (Matthew 13:52 NASB) If you want to know how to become a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, read: http://www.matthiasmedia.com.au/2wtl/ Note: I add to the electronic margins of the Study Bible Forum from many different scholars, teachers, and pastors -- some living and many who are dead. My quoting of a person is not meant to imply that I support or believe all that they teach. Sometimes people just say or write things that are worthy of being repeated; helping in our understanding of the Word (Ephesians 4:11-16). Beware of false teachers who add to the Word with another authority. You will know them by how they show more of the flesh than any of the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
