: Why "credible profession of faith" of penitent, baptized church members is not the biblically sufficient criterion for admission to the Lord's Supper text version: https://honest2blog.blogspot.com/2024/04/about-close-confessional-communion.html The usual standard for admission to the Lord's Supper in Orthodox Presbyterian Church (and other NAPARC) congregations is that the would-be communicant have a credible profession of faith in the gospel, live penitently, and be a baptized member of a gospel-believing church. The confessional Presbyterian & Reformed view of close communion or confessional communion is not widely known or understood today. Gregory Baus describes the Reformed close/confessional view in contrast to usual OPC practice, and presents some Scriptural and doctrinal support for it.…

Episode 4: Reformed Biblical-Theological Foundations for Christian Cultural Activity 27:16

Gregory Baus' text here: https://honest2blog.blogspot.com/2022/01/reformed-biblical-theological.html The question is: After the fall, are believers now able in Christ to eschatologically fulfill the cultural mandate as it was given before the fall in order to bring the consummation of God's kingdom? The proper orthodox neocalvinist answer is: absolutely not. Primarily an appreciative response to Charles Lee Irons' Upper Register video/podcast episode on The Usefulness of Biblical Theology for Ethics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVkJMD3U7vQ I offer 4 points of clarification. 1. After the fall, cultural life remains thoroughly religious, against a sort of scholastic view. 2. A Christian believer's cultural activity can involve the subjective recognition of God's reign, and so be an expression of God's kingdom. 3. Societal communities or "structures" of society are not the law order or "Structure" for creation (in the Structure/Direction distinction). 4. In addition to Biblically specified morality, a believer's subjective sanctification of (recognition of God's reign in) their cultural activity also involves increasing conformity to other God-given norms for cultural activity.…
