This is somewhat bafalling to me especially since the points were developed as a response to the Remonstrance- they were in no way considered by the Reformed of the time to be a declaration of the scope of their theology. This is one reason why I think adherence to the great Reformed Confessions is so important when applying a definition of "reformed". Yes, paedo baptism has often been a big element in traditional reformed theology, but there is so much more involved than the sacrament of baptism and the soteriological points reflected in the "five". I fear that many people may miss out on the depths of what reformed theology has to offer if they do not adhere to the points of the 1689 Confession, Covenant Theology, etc. Still, THANK GOD there has been a resurgence in "Calvinistic" understanding of the gospel !CPoleynardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15894716338446778503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19532009.post-91372956654241076182008-02-29T16:12:00.000-06:002008-02-29T16:12:00.000-06:00Thanks for an interesting post.
