Hyper-Calvinism: Defined By A Hyper-Calvinist
The Baptist Particular Vodcast serves as an analysis of Particular Baptist history and theology from a Hyper-Calvinist point of view. This Episode: How does one define Hyper-Calvinism? While there are modern and free-lancing definitions, there is also a historic definition which serves as the goal post for the label. In this episode, Jared Smith traces the historical and doctrinal developments from John Calvin during the 16th century to the tenets of Hyper-Calvinism during the 18th century.

The Everlasting Covenant Fulfilled In Time
Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice than Cain... Heb. 11:4 which was a type and shadow of the Mediatorial and imputational work of Jesus Christ. A continuing theme beginning in Gen. 3:15 and immediately following when the LORD God clothed his parents with coats of animal skin. Surely the same honor would be bestowed upon Noah who found grace in the eyes of the LORD, and is said to have walked with God, another illustration we find, both, before and after the fulness of time, indicating a significant work upon his heart and the

The Gospel Standard
The Gospel Standard About Us Page The many and varied differences and nuances on the doctrine of soteriology ought to be cause for separation, instead of unity, since these differences portray a different Gospel than what the Bible teaches. Except that we allow for it under the pretext of unity, toleration, indecision, misinterpretation, application and controversy of hermeneutical method(s), the meaning and translation of specific words and phrases, the extent of the atonement, mankind's (will) ability or lack thereof, all leading to the many and varied differences and nuances we see played out in unending arguments.

4 18th Century Covenant Theology: A Single Covenant For A Complete Gospel
I would like to welcome you back to another study in the Word of God. This is now our fourth study in a little series we started just over a month ago. By way of review, we began the series by looking at the Scripture structure of 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17. The general theme of the passage is the Privilege of Brotherhood. In our second study, we looked more closely at verses 13 and 14, where we discovered three branches of the Covenant of Grace—the electing love of the Father, the redeeming grace of the Son and the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit.

3 18th Century Covenant Theology Versus The Presbyterians
I’d like to welcome you back to another study in the Word of God. In our previous studies, I presented to you the Scripture structure for 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17. There is a twofold statement on the privilege of brotherhood—In verse 13 Paul thanks God for their salvation—“But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord,”; but in verse 15 he is exhorting them to stand fast in their salvtion—“Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.”

2 Three Branches Of The Gracious Covenant
This series of studies began with a friend requesting help on how to discover the structure of the Scriptures. While students of the Bible are familiar with the poetic parallelism of the Psalms, they do not realize the whole of God's Word shares the same type of symmetry. Indeed, this is further proof the Scriptures are divinely inspired, for He Who made the heavens and the earth by indelible wisdom also spoke the words of Scripture. I selected 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 as a sample text to demonstrate the perfection and beauty of God's "structured" Word.
