I appreciate your thoughts, Trevin. This needed to be said:
“There’s a double standard at work here. The Calvinists welcome paedobaptists to chapel, overlooking that ecclesiological difference. Yet they protest fellow Baptists who do not toe the line on Calvinism. Personally, I am thankful that Southern Seminary administrators have chosen to welcome a variety of godly Christian men to the pulpit with whom we might strongly disagree on certain issues, but with whom we share a strong commitment to the gospel.”
-We are the “Southern Baptist” Seminary, are we not?

“Satan would love nothing more than to have the arrogant snobbery of Old Southern’s liberalism turn into the arrogant snobbery of New Southern’s Calvinism.”
-That’s a convicting word to me. Dr. Moore has voiced similar concerns on different occasions and I think you both are absolutely right.

“Collin rightly notes how the Conservative Resurgence’s emphasis on doctrinal confessions necessarily led back to a resurgence of Calvinism at Southern Seminary. We can celebrate the fact that Southern Baptists are increasingly returning to their confessional heritage.”
-I hope that will be the legacy of this book, the SBTS chapter, and our seminary.

Trevin,

Good perspective.

Arrogance is a dangerous cancer in our hearts that can distort our character and re-form us as tools of Satan in an instant. Although the enemy cannot possess believers, I believe he often discredits our testimony through this very sin.

You’ve aroused my curiosity. I may have to buy and read this one for myself.
