If you assume good faith then why did you edit out my information regarding the 1646 First London Confession of Faith. These people believed in predestination. It just happens that they believed in the power of the gospel, not the law. So did Paul. Just like others before and after, they attacked the view that the law could convict of sin in a saving way. They did not believe that the preparation of the terrors of the law applied to the heart could convict in any way. They offer a significant departure from the Protestantism that surrounded them, the Protestantism that had its roots in Augustinianism. The legalism of the Protestants versus the gospel and grace of the 1646 folks. After they departed the 1689 folks fell away. I would hope that you would record them for the true history that they hold too, a resurgence of the true gospel of the early church, where Paul said that he was determined to know only the gospel among the gentiles. He knew. [[user:bgamall|bgamall]] |

Mission
I am especially concerned with generating fair and balanced and well-sourced articles that adhere to Wikipedia policies and guidelines. My pet-peeve is giving minor issues undue weight. Most of the articles I work on are related to religion and biographies with some venturing into astronomy and computing, and when things get hot, I always try my best to assume good faith and not make any personal attacks.
If you assume good faith then why did you edit out my information regarding the 1646 First London Confession of Faith. These people believed in predestination. It just happens that they believed in the power of the gospel, not the law. So did Paul. Just like others before and after, they attacked the view that the law could convict of sin in a saving way. They did not believe that the preparation of the terrors of the law applied to the heart could convict in any way. They offer a significant departure from the Protestantism that surrounded them, the Protestantism that had its roots in Augustinianism. The legalism of the Protestants versus the gospel and grace of the 1646 folks. After they departed the 1689 folks fell away. I would hope that you would record them for the true history that they hold too, a resurgence of the true gospel of the early church, where Paul said that he was determined to know only the gospel among the gentiles. He knew. bgamall
Contributions
I have made significant contributions to a number of articles including:
Christianity and alcohol | Presuppositional apologetics | |
Cornelius Van Til | Gordon Clark | |
John Calvin | Biblical inspiration | |
Total depravity | Limited atonement | |
Irresistible grace | Perseverance of the saints |
I also welcome new-comers who cross my path and warn and clean up after many anonymous and puerile vandals.
Awards
