This is my plea for my Protestant brethren—stop trying to be modern and return to the glorious doctrines of Scripture as taught and applied by our Reformation forefathers. Protestants have much to offer. We have a rich tradition. Start embracing it.

Charles Hodge defended the validity of Roman Catholic baptism. But in doing so, he seemed to shift the argument from whether Rome’s doctrine saves to whether there is a possibility that a Roman Catholic might be saved: “the validity of baptism does not depend upon the character of the particular denomination to which the administrator belongs; because he does not act in the name of that denomination, but as a member of the church catholic. And every man who professes saving truth is a member of that church. It matters not therefore whether the Quakers as a society come within the definition of a church; individual Quakers, if they have the faith of God’s elect and profess it, are members of his church. And so too it matters not whether the papacy comes within the definition of a church; individual papists, if they profess that Jesus is the Son of God, are within the pale of the church catholic, and, if they have public authority, may baptize in the name of Christ.” –Charles Hodge, “General Assembly,” BRPR 17/3 (July 1845): 469.

@BenedictusFaber Princeton and other seminaries in 19th century were created to train pastors.

@JoshuaH29403304 Nor Christian schools.

@Brennan_Showers GPTS MDiv is the ideal. But they do have MA.

@Brennan_Showers What’s the goal?

To be clear, seminary training should be graduate-level training. But it does not follow that seminaries should admit those not training for the ministry. Seminaries and graduate schools of theology can both exist, but they should remain separate institutions.

@StaceySykes15 That’s why I warned you 🤣 I love my baptist brethren!
