Well Tom I'm sure that you could with a little searching find this for yourself but I'm in a generous mood tonight. These are Gadsbyites or if you would like a more descriptive term Hyper-Calvinists. You see Tom Gospel Standard Churches were started by Strict and Particular Baptists who rejected the free offer of the Gospel to all men. And their Hyper-Calvinist view also lead to antinomianism. If you wish to read their confession go to this website:
Thanks for your concern Tom - It doesn't go unnoticed as some might imagine <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
For the record,I am not a Gospel Standard Baptist- I am not a Baptist peroid. I attended a Gospel Standard place over a period of about 4 years but I never joined because they said I was not baptised.No baptism - no Lords Supper. I was ,however baptised aged 11 months back in 1961.
Thankyou Tom <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/thanks.gif" alt="" />
Wes ,I have been re-reading this thread and regarding the hymn "Rock of ages" I would like to add that it was written originally by Augustus Toplady(1740-1778). He was a champion of Calvinism and labelled an Antinomian too. His stance against Wesleys Arminianism is legendary .
When I pointed out the song Rock of Ages in response to the Antinomian view being promoted I was pointing out the "double" cure in verse one. This two-fold work is both justification and sanctification.
Please re-read the rest of my comments in the thread and you will have little doubt what I believe Scripture teaches.
Wes

Mark, If you're really interested in having Gadsby' points answered, why don't you post them up one at a time? If you do, I'll have a crack at them. They're too big a block to try to tackle all together.

Steve asked you if you would start a new thread and include one of Gadby's assertions. Now, what is it that can't be done? 1) You can't start a new thread? or 2) You are unable to include a single assertion?
Hi Tom ,folk have had months to try and answer Gadsby - no one has done so here......here is question one for those who believe they can answer it.
"If the law is the believers rule of life,I shall thank you to tell me what is intended by the letter written by the apostles and elders,and sent to the believing gentiles,as recorded in Acts 15, and shall expect you to explain the chapter"
No one has answered this or the other 12 questions thus far in this thread,so those that attempted to answer them previously should perhaps re-read the entire thread lest they repeat themselves.
This chapter deals with the ceremonial law, as Calvin points out.
True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
