The Origins Of The Particular And The Reformed Baptists
This question was recently put to me by a friend: ”Jared are you on the same side with Sam Renihan and his father on the issue of origins of Particular Baptists and Reformed Baptists?” My answer (with a few additions for the sake of clarity): No, we certainly would not be in agreement with the Reformed Baptists’ view on these matters. The reformed Baptist movement began in England during the 1950’s, taking over historic Particular Baptist churches and ‘unreforming’ them to align with their teachings. The group of Particular Baptist churches they commandeered belonged to the Metropolitan Association of Strict Baptist Churches (London). The church that I pastored for twenty years was

The True, Proper, And Eternal Sonship Of The Lord Jesus Christ, The Only Begotten Son Of God
A controversy concerning the eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ broke out among the Strict and Particular Baptist churches during the 19th century. The orthodox view, set forth by John Gill in his Body of Divinity, and defended by Joseph Philpot in this book, asserts that the second Person of the Godhead is the Son of God in His divine nature, eternally generated by the Father. The erroneous view asserts that the second Person of the Godhead is the Son of God in His human nature only, begotten of the Father at the time of the incarnation. Although the persons holding this view maintain a belief in the TriUnity of the Godhead, yet their denial of the eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ…

Expository Notes On Psalm 37:1-7: Keeping The Boundary
Notes On The Structure 1. It is believed David wrote the Psalm a few years before his death—“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” (Ps 37:25) Upon reflection in his old age, he explored the question, Why does God allow the wicked to prosper while leaving His people in difficult circumstances? 2. Within the first seven verses, David gives a twofold description of the problem (1,2 and 7b) with a single statement on a prescribed solution (3-7a). 3. The problem (1,2 and 7b) is not the prosperity of the wicked, but the discontentment and covetousness of the Lord’s people. David points out the obvious—the prosperity of the wicked is short-lived.
