On the Founders blog, Tom Ascol is reporting from the Pastor's conference and at the Founder's breakfast meetings at the Southern Baptist Convention. He posted this item of news in his first reporting.
"The Pastors' Conference is over but not without some noteworthy comments coming from the various messages. Though I didn't hear it myself, I heard on good authority that Charles Lowrey actually said in his message that God told him to get "baptized again" as an encouragement for others to get baptized who might be hesitant...and he was advocating this for the pastors to whom he was preaching!"
What can we say to this "news"? Is it "good news"?
1. Well, that ought to be one way to get an increase in the number of baptisms!
2. What are these preachers saying? That they were not saved till they became five point Calvinists or came to understand the "doctrines of grace"? Where will this end?
How do these people know they were not "regenerated" when they said the sinner's prayer, or asked Jesus into their hearts? By their definition of "regeneration" they cannot know that they were not "regenerated," can they?
And then in the second posting we have this report:
"Eric Redmond hit a homerun in his message this morning at the Founders Breakfast. He preached out of 2 Chronicles 34 on "The Reformation that Must Come." It was bold, courageous, insightful and prophetic. An audio of the message will be made available as soon as possible, hopefully, by the end of the week at the latest."
This reminds me so much of the Campbellites and their repeated calls to "reform"!
Frankly, the kind of "reform" that these brethren are talking about we can all live without!
