The Faith And Practice Of The Strict And Particular Baptists
Our object is to provide a periodical for all Strict Baptists who seek humbly and faithfully to abide by the Word of God as their final appeal in all matters relating to faith and practice; for we firmly believe in the plenary and verbal inspiration of this precious Book. The Eternal Sonship Of The Lord Jesus Christ By Divine aid we are determined ever to maintain a clear testimony concerning the Doctrine of the Eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ, and strongly do we deprecate either an open denial of this fundamental truth, or the attitude of mysterious silence and indifference concerning it.

The Mosaic Covenant: A Reiteration Of Works, An Administration Of Grace Or A Mixture Of Both?
Peter Masters delivered two lectures on the biblical covenants for the 2016 School of Theology, Metropolitan Tabernacle. He asks the question, Was the Mosaic Covenant a reiteration of the Covenant of Works, an administration of the Covenant of Grace or a mixture of both? He takes the view it is a reiteration of the Covenant of Works. I answer,...

Reformed Baptists Stumbling Over The Teachings Of Keach And Gill
Peter Masters believes Benjamin Keach and John Gill collapsed the Covenant of Redemption into the “conditional” Covenant of Grace, thereby combining the various components of each covenant into one. Samuel Renihan believes Keach rejected the Covenant of Redemption in favor of the “conditional” Covenant of Grace. I have met Reformed Baptists believing one or the other of these views, some of whom say they derive great benefit, especially from the teachings of Gill.

38 Bible Doctrine – Confessional Statements And Their Proper Use
I would like to welcome you back to another study in Bible Doctrine. In our previous two studies, I have given a historic and doctrinal overview of John Gill’s Goat Yard Declaration of Faith. And then, towards the end of our last study, I pointed out some of the major differences between the 1689 Confession and the 1729 Declaration. In a nutshell, the 1689 Confession is representative of 17th century Hyper-Calvinism, whereas the 1729 Declaration is representative of 18th century Hyper-Calvinism. More specifically, 17th century Hyper-Calvinism, represented by the 1689 Confession, is based on a threefold covenantal framework, pushing to the forefront a conditional covenant of grace. Forthwith, saving faith is viewed as a legal duty imposed upon unregenerate sinners, resulting in a conditional salvation;…

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
