Different Shades Of Calvinism
This article was written for the Earthen Vessel in the year 1909, the author unknown. However, there is a reference at the end which leads me to believe William Styles was the writer. His views, generally speaking, were representative of the Strict and Particular Baptist denomination at the time. Of course, this included not only the churches in association with the Metropolitan Association of Strict Baptist Churches and the Strict Baptist Mission, but many other churches and believers in subscription to the Earthen Vessel. These churches and organizations were Hyper-Calvinists by creed and conviction.

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.”

Andrew Fuller Split The Particular Baptist Denomination
The Works of Andrew Fuller; very large hardback; 1012 pages; price £27; published by The Banner of Truth Trust, and obtainable from Christian bookshops. We must confess we were rather surprised that Banner of Truth should publish the works of the renowned Baptist minister, Andrew Fuller (1754-1815). As is well known, the publication of Fuller’s The Gospel Worthy of All Acceptation in 1785 split the old Particular Baptist denomination in two. There were many like Gadsby, Warburton, Kershaw and Philpot who rejected Fuller’s teaching (and interestingly, with this section a wonderful time of spiritual prosperity followed).

Answering John Samson’s Charges Against Hyper-Calvinism
According to Effectual Grace, John Samson is “the founding pastor-teacher of King’s Church in Peoria, Arizona, as well as an author and conference speaker. He has a passion for the local Church and for the free offer of the gospel to be proclaimed far and wide. He has been a contributing writer at the monergism.com blogsite and of www.reformationtheology.com since 2005.” It is therefore not surprising to discover articles submitted by Samson to Monergism.com regarding the free offer of the gospel. One such submission was made on January 19, 2011, entitled, “Calvinism vs. Hyper Calvinism”.
