Thx for posting. What about the other arguments for what baptism is? You haven’t engaged those. What is baptism is your understanding? What passages on baptism do you use to support your definition?

Thx for watching!

You're welcome!

Thx for posting. Respectfully, false. Doesn’t matter who would agree with Calvin, they’d be incorrect, also. I wrote an entire chapter on this matter in my book: Extra Nos l Discovering Grace Outside Myself. Available as an audiobook, also. In brief: Romans 9 does NOT teach double predestination nor that God created some for wrath. Calvinist wrongfully teach that from that text. They isolate it and read that idea into it. Romans 9:22 does *not* contain the word before hand related to vessels of wrath. However, Romans 9:23 *does* contain the word beforehand related to vessels of mercy. You start to notice this elsewhere as it relates to God preparing a place for vessels of mercy. Matthew 25:34: Then the King will say to those on His right, "Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." As it relates to God preparing a place for vessels of wrath in Matthew 25:41: Then He will say to those on His left, "Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." God's kingdom was prepared for people. Hell was prepared for the devil. See what Paul says about God's desire for people in 1 Timothy 2:4: [He] desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. People are themselves considered responsible for resisting God. Selah. Much more can be said. I digress.

@@ExtraNosAcademy it seems when it comes to baptism you say "let the text speak for itself" but when it comes to God "willing to have mercy on whom ever he wills" you then must jump through hoops like the baptist against infant baptism

@@ExtraNosAcademy also calvanists don't deny God desires all to be saved,

Thanks for posting! God’s peace. Because, respectfully, they do not rightly interpret scripture. Particularly, concerning the universal atonement (Jesus died for all without exception). Calvinist get that wrong, unfortunately. The false teaching of double predestination (Romans 9 does *not* teach that). Jesus’ bodily presence in the bread and wine (Calvinist wrongly teach a spiritual presence, that Jesus is present only according to His Divine nature, and that we ascend up to heaven by the Holy Spirit. The Bible teaches no such things. These are merely a few reasons why I reject *all* forms of Calvinism. Again, respectfully.

LOL. you make it sound like choosing which beverage to get out the fountain... "I used to like Dr. Pepper,, but I might try Barqs today". From all his content, it seems like, Lutheranism was what he felt was most faithful to Holy Writ. I think its kind of hard to get a Theological degree from baptist land and not know Dutch/Presby beliefs, and hard to get a Master's and not delve into 3 forms or Westminster theology.

Thx for posting! You’ve posted beautiful passages that rightly speak on the Christian ethic, amen. Those text do not negate nor disprove the statements in this video. You’ve simply grabbed a collection of isolated law passages. You’ve conveniently left out passages affirming Jesus’s fulfillment of the law on our behalf and the forgiveness He grants repentant sinners. The law now functions as a guide for us and not a threat to the Christian’s salvation, as they are continually trusting God, by faith. Receiving forgiveness through His Word and Sacrament.

Truly! Thx for sharing that!

Thank you so much!
