Reformed Baptist

A Reformed Baptist is a Christian who believes in the great doctrines recovered by the Protestant Reformation, including the sufficiency of Scripture for the church, salvation by God's free grace, justification by faith alone, the importance of God's good law and the gospel of Jesus Christ, the centrality of the church in the life of the believer, and the great doctrine of Christian liberty.

A Defense of Calvinism is a classic text by Charles H. Spurgeon. This rendition is beautifully narrated by Bryan Nyman.

April 18th, 1521. Martin Luther was on trial for believing the Scriptures were the ultimate authority for the Christian, rather than dogma developed by men. He is quoted as having said, “My conscience is captive to the Word of God” when asked to recant his writings. I’ve taken part of Luther’s statement as my title because while I am thankful to God for myriad men in the Reformed Baptist world that have taught me much, I cannot claim full allegiance to a document written in the 17th century; it beingmostly right. The Word of God – alone! – demands and warrants our full ...

Many families have a genuine desire to raise good and godly children, yet often become discouraged when simply taking their children to church regularly doesn’t seem to produce children who walk humbly with the Lord. According to recent statistics, merely raising our children within the church can often result in watching them wander from the truth as they reach adulthood. Yet it doesn’t have to be this way. There is hope. Home Reformation offers practical steps to help families make homes places of Christ-centered discipleship. Author Adam Burrell draws from twenty plus years of family...

The Five Points of Amillennialism maintains that a right view of end times is founded upon a right view of the “bigger picture,” the storyline of Scripture. The grand narrative of the Bible displays that the Abrahamic covenant, Davidic covenant, New Covenant, and Second Coming all find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. He is the key that holds together the various threads of Scripture—and he alone is the key to properly understanding and making sense of the often dizzying, complex maze of “final things.” Rather than an offering of an endless series of charts, understanding ...

Ever started a discussion on predestination or free will? Be careful if you do. A Calvinist might burn you at the stake. A Reformed believer just may try to run you out of town (or at least out of the church). Both can be pretty mean. I learned this the hard way, asking a former pastor when I had questions of my own. If you’ve ever pondered the subjects of Calvinism, Reformed beliefs, predestination, free will, or anything related to them, then this is the book for you. It’s set up to deliver one punch sound bites without all the needless wordiness and fluffery. It delivers a Biblical ...

This is a simple and very short booklet. It is not meant to be comprehensive. It provides a big picture structure to the book of Romans in the New Testament. In fact, if you have Kindle Unlimited, just read this in half an hour or less. That said, because of this hidden partition, it further clarifies some controversial aspects of Romans: Who can be spiritual Jews? What does Romans 9 really means and does it have anything to do with Calvinism? Is Romans 13 really about the government? If you are interested in answering those questions and more, this is a succinct and compact guide. The book...

When God calls us out of our sin and to himself through the Gospel, he adopts us into his family. That family is the church. This is a book about what that family should be, what it should do, and why it matters. When we look carefully at the big things of the Bible, it's important for us to examine both the scriptures and the culture we live in today. We need to know what the Bible says. We also need to understand the ways we are getting things wrong, and the ways our cultural sins may be blinding us to what God is calling us to in scripture.

The Long Road to Reformation: A Pastor’s Crossroads What happens when a faithful man of God walks a little too close to the edge? Gideon Brenner was saved as a teenager in a hayfield revival where the gospel was preached straight— As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one… For all have sinned… For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord… For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 3:10, 3:23, 6:23, 10:13, KJV) He believed it, and he was never the same. Called to preach at a youth camp,...
