The Need Of An Evangelistic Spirit In Our Churches
The following address was given by Edwin White at the Annual Meeting of the Metropolitan Association of Strict Baptist Churches (MASBC) in March 1903. Herein Mr. White underscores the biblical mandate to preach the gospel to all sinners, especially in the hearing of the unconverted. Mr. White was a Hyper-Calvinist, and so were the churches he was addressing. They rejected the notion that saving faith is a spiritual and/or legal duty of the unregenerate and denounced the practice of free offers of the gospel.

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).

One such submission was made on January 19, 2011, entitled, “Calvinism vs. Hyper Calvinism”.

A God In Conflict With Himself
A god in conflict with himself. Such is the god of Robert Gonzales Jr., the editors of the Founders Ministries who commend his article, and indeed, Richard Baxter whose teachings they imbibe.[1] On May 3, 2024, an article written by Gonzales appeared on the Founders Ministries website entitled, “The Saving Design Of God’s Common Grace”. He begins by rightly distinguishing between a saving grace and common grace, but before ending the first paragraph swerves from the truth making shipwreck of the faith. He writes,

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?
