On The Right Track on Rev. 3:20

In a follow up to the two previous postings on Rev. 3:20 I want to cite from an article by a Progressive Primitive Baptist Church (Georgia) titled "AT THE DOOR – REVELATION 3:20" by Jason Solomon (May 23, 2017 - see here - emphasis mine).

"Call To Action: Listen for Jesus knocking today, and go open the door. Go to His Word, and Go to Him in prayer. Welcome His truth into your life, into your home, and into your work. Sit down with Him and take Him with you. He is your King. He is your Savior."

I am glad that this church saw through all the Hardshell fog on Rev. 3: 20 and saw what action the text is really calling for from those addressed. Why can't the Hardshells preach on the text like brother Solomon?

The web page says this about the church:

"Northside is a Progressive Primitive Baptist congregation. The Primitive Baptists hold to the doctrines held by the original Baptist pilgrims from Europe, primarily England. To this end we hold to the original 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith as summarized in our Articles of Faith below."

If they hold to the 1689 London Confession, then they must believe in the predestination of all things, in regeneration by the means of the gospel, and of the perseverance of the saints.

The hope for the Primitive Baptists is in such churches as this one.
