To deny baptism to infants is to say that Jesus cannot save them; or worse, that he does not desire to save them.

• The Nicene Creed affirms baptismal regeneration
• Therefore the Nicene Creed promotes heresy.
Peak Schismatic take.

Premise 1: The doctrine of Baptismal Regeneration is a heresy
Premise 2: Anglicans affirm the doctrine of Baptismal Regeneration
Conclusions: Anglicans are guilty of heresy

I have used the KJV primarily, and almost exclusively, since 2016.
Having spent the last 3ish years wandering to and fro amongst the ESV, NASB, etc... I keep consistently coming back to the KJV.
It is superior in just about every conceivable way.

Ortlund’s take on Apostolic Succession in Ignatius is laughable (referencing his appearance on Gospel Simplicity). At best it is ignorant; at worst it is intentionally deceptive.

To renounce something that was never possessed to begin with is nonsensical.
It means nothing for me to renounce something that I’ve never had.
It means something for the apostate to renounce the grace of God.

Hi Gavin,
First, I apologize. I only listened to the ~20 minute clip that I’ve linked to in the original tweet. I do not recall you mentioning this part of the text in question therein, but perhaps it was later in and I missed it. I will give it a relisten.

This is the Baptist ethos: “We do not need those who came before us.”
This is not a Christian view, because theology is done within the mystical body of Christ, and …
In light of this article, let me say it directly: if your Protestant theology needs Thomas to define its doctrine of God, you have no reason to be a Protestant.

Anglicanism is a ridiculous tradition, shaped, cafeteria-style, by whatever looks and sounds good: a little Reformed theology with the veneer of Roman liturgy, with the only guiding principle being like aesthetics of the culture.

A 🧵 on “Branch Theory.”
“I am the vine, ye are the branches.” - St. John 15:5
It is often a criticism from both Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians that Anglicans promote a defunct view of the Church by advocating for what’s commonly called the “Branch Theory.”

And this, in part, is what a rejection of the historic understanding of Divine Simplicity gets you.
It sounds very pious, but leaves you with a composite God who is not supreme in being.
The wrath of God—like the love of God—is anything but an anthropomorphic state.
The wrath of God—second only to the love of God—is the strongest force in existence.

This is not the methodology of the Fathers, nor the Apostles.
When we interpret the Old Testament, we must reject “authorial ignorance” and cling to “authorial intent.”
The prophets did not write better than they knew (sensus plenior).
Identify the single meaning of the text and apply it properly.

Very basic Christian truths:
If you could earn grace, it wouldn’t be grace.
If you could supplement grace by works, it wouldn’t be grace.
If you could manipulate grace, it wouldn’t be grace.
If you could lose grace, it wouldn’t be grace.
Amazing news: God’s grace is REAL.

Principally it pertains to the Bishop (of whom ecclesial unity is found in one’s subjection and union to said Bishop) who stands in the place of God. Thus this ministry, in this schema, originates and is founded in the Bishops; and is then handed to the Preists and Deacons.

Lewis’ climax in Perelandra has done more for my soul than some theology books.

Actually, it does because there is no real need to read fiction for the cure of souls. All that is necessary for pastoral priesthood is found in the vast spiritual literature of the Church, especially the Desert Fathers of the Philokalia and their spiritual successors.

One reason to dismiss Dabney on the Sacraments.
Dabney's sombolism =/= that of the Fathers.
Baptism actually confers those graces which begin the Christian life; the Eucharist actually confers those graces which sustain it.

"Baptism symbolizes those graces which initiate the Christian life: The Supper, those also which continue it. Hence, while the former is once applied to infants born within the covenant, to ratify their outward membership, in the dependence on the
