Just compare the average, corn-fed Baptist preacher-man with the cadaverous and bespeckled Anglican cleric or the equally anorexic, silver-haired, ashen-faced appearance of the average Episcopalian woman—complete with her page-boy hair-cut. It’s almost as if each theological tradition had seeped into the DNA, creating a genetic uniform.<BR/><BR/>I only wish I wrote this well. Lovely.

For example, a Reformed Baptist, with his commitment to credobaptism, puts more emphasis on the purity of the church--whereas the Presbyterian, with his commitment to paedobaptism, must make more allowance for nominal church members.<BR/><BR/>If you want to see the differences, compare what the Westminster Confession of Faith has to say on church/state/sacramental issues with the parallel articles in the London Baptist Confession of Faithstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-1117773267925384552005-06-03T00:34:00.000-04:002005-06-03T00:34:00.000-04:00Ummm, excuse my ignorance, but what's the differen...Ummm, excuse my ignorance, but what's the difference between Reformed Presbryterians and Reformed Baptists? Reading your post it sounds like there's a huge distinction, but I read blogs by people from both "types" if you would call it that and they all seemed to be in theological agreement (I suspect it's the Reformed aspect that brings them in so much agreement =p)Mickey Sheuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956333218040153996noreply@blogger.com
