Dr. Jeremiah Bass, pastor of Cincinnati Primitive Baptist Church, has written some good posts in his daily blog post on the church's web page. Here are some excellent words from him. It expresses real Old or Primitive Baptist teaching, and the truth of the bible.
"For we are not talking into a busy signal or a disconnected line, but through Christ we have access by one Spirit unto the Father (Eph. 2:18)." (The God Who Listens)
Praise the Lord for his loving us enough to listen to us! The Sovereign of the Universe always ready to hear us! All through Christ alone!
"All who are related to God's own Son by faith become by union with him the children of God, and with that all the blessings and privileges which that relation constitutes and implies." (What manner of love)
That is a truly biblical ordo salutis and what our primitive Baptist forefathers taught (expressed in the London and Philadelphia confessions).
"There is assurance to be had here. Our Heavenly Father is not pleased when we slump around in the shadows of doubt and uncertainty. Rather, we are meant to take him at his word and embrace through Christ this great gift of God's love to us." (Ibid)
Amen! No need to sing "Tis a point I long to know! Am I his or am I not?"
