The Administration Of God’s Grace Under Two Perpetual Covenants
The masterplan of God for the ages may be summarized as the administration of His grace to the members of the human race. There is a common grace unto creation administered by God to the unregenerate sinners who are subject to Him under the authority of the covenant of works. There is a special grace unto salvation administered by God to the regenerate sinners who are subject to Him under the authority of the covenant of grace. The entire human race is divided between these groups—the unregenerate and the regenerate; and they are under one of two covenants—works and grace. The names and narratives recorded in Genesis 4 fit within this context.

Baptism And The Covenants
Those who practice infant baptism, within the tradition of Reformed Theology, do so upon the basis of their covenantal framework. However, there is more than one way to understand the arrangement of the biblical covenants.

The Origin Of False Religion And The Revelation Of True Religion
Whereas the second chapter of Genesis describes the garden of Eden before sin entered into the world, the third chapter marks out the events leading to sin entering the world. There are three parts to the chapter: (1-6) The entrance of sin into the world—of the angelic hosts and the human race; (7-13) The origin of false religion—unregenerate sinners are under the authority of the covenant of works, subject to its curse, as they are conceived in sin and shaped in iniquity. False religion is the attempt of sinners to make themselves right with God according to the terms of the Covenant of Works. Hiding one's sins, hiding from the presence of God and self-justification/righteousness are indicators of false religion. (14-24) The Revelation of True…

43 Bible Doctrine – The ‘Introduction’ To Gill’s Body Of Divinity
I would like to welcome you back to another study in Bible Doctrine. In our previous study, I aligned the chapters of John Gill’s ‘Body of Doctrinal and Practical Divinity’ with the Framework of Sovereign Grace. I will be using this diagram as the key, or map, to navigate us through the teachings of Gill. For this study, I wish to look at Gill’s Introduction to systematic theology. He begins his Introduction by stating the reason for publishing a ‘Body of Doctrinal and Practical Divinity’. It was after completing his commentary on the Old and New Testament Scriptures, he chose to enter upon an exposition of systematic theology, which he delivered week by week, in the course of his pastoral ministry at Carter Lane Chapel.…

The Formation Of The Metropolitan Association Of Strict Baptist Churches
The formation of the Metropolitan Association of Strict Baptist Churches is inseparably linked with the church meeting at Silver Street Chapel, Notting Hill Gate, and her pastor, David Crumpton. The Association, church and pastor subscribed to a restricted communion table and the tenets of Hyper-Calvinism. These are the leading features which set apart the Strict Baptist denomination from other churches, unions, societies and associations. On 4 April 1866, a Strict and Particular Baptist Church was organized in Stormont House, Queen’s Road, Bayswater, London. Several of the founding members seceded from the Strict Baptist church, meeting on Johnson Street, Notting Hill Gate. On the day of the new church’s formation, David Crumpton was appointed the pastor. Within two years, the church acquired a building—the Silver Street…
