Over and over again critics of FV selectively ignore FV defenses and vindications from scholars and in preferences, point to incredibly biased groups, and then mock “FVers” for claiming “no one understands us.”
So a guy points out on one of the no-”FVers”-allowed “Reformed” sites that,
A group of ten ministers has written a “pastoral letter” concerning [...]

Pretty ignorant: the children of believers “are Christians, and federally holy before baptism, and therefore are they baptized” (source).

Jeff puts out an abridgment of his 30 questions as 12. Elsewhere a group of pastors weigh in in opposition to the PCA Committee report with an amazingly concise letter (hat tip).

In context, these words sound murderous: “Neither does the baby elephant watching his community/ Be devastated for ivory” I’d like to think the writer just slipped up thinking of generally bad things to put in her poem without meaning to make that sort of comparison…

When Turretin says good works are “necessary” to salvation “as means” to an end, that is like saying a tail is necessary to a cat eating fish? The writer is correct, I don’t understand his “logic” at all. I’ll stick with the “weasel words” of the Westminster Standards, thank you.

I’m cool with that. Here we go:
Nestorianism — Gordon Clark; see witnesses here and here.
Pantheism — Creation ex nihilo is untrue. Rather, creation must be ex deo, a “modification of divine being.” Who taught this? John Gerstner in his “handout theology” which is still sold by Ligonier Ministries. I heard [...]

The internet monk has some great thoughts on the widespread ignorance of the Gospel, and how this is spread by some of the Gospel’s shrillest self-appointed defenders. His comment about he PCA made me lol.

They are in parenthesis with links to his post about me. The only thing that bears any special interest is under points 25 and 26.

No, this was not its longest. The fact that my bangs don’t hang over my eyes or reach from the center of my forehead to my ears, tells you that I’m becoming rather tame at this point.
Is it embarrassing?
No, this is really embarrassing! God forgive the fanboy sins of my youth.
