Signs of life
April 25, 2014
I have extremely worrying news for certain friends: I may exist! Now, before you declare that this is worrying news for anyone with a modicum of sense, let me clarify things ever so slightly.
It has been a matter of some concern for a while that I do not actually exist. But there are now some few acknowledgements that Reformed Baptists, for want of a better name, may actually be.
First of all, there was a passing reference from Rick Phillips. Then Paul Helm discussed them when he pondered the many dimensions of Calvinism. Rumour also has it that Aimee Byrd actually met some of them. And then, real documentary evidence for confessing Baptists: in James Dennison's fourth volume of his Reformed (note it!) Confessions of the 16th and 17th Centuries in English Translation from RHB (also Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and Westminster), at least four documents from the Baptist stable.
I do not wish to jump the gun, but it may just be that I and others like me exist after all. Sorry.
