Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month.

Dr. Sproul on Infant on Baptism

Does New Testament baptism replace Old Testament circumcision? Dr. Sproul gives the case for infant baptism.

Children were included in the covenant of grace in the Old Testament, through the Sacrament of Circumcision (Gen. 17), and in the New Covenant (called the "better covenant"), God has not changed in his good intentions toward our children (Acts 2:35, 38,39). Circumcision has been replaced with Baptism (Col. 2:11). Therefore, our children must be brought into the covenant of grace through Baptism as the people of God in former times were brought into the covenant through Circumcision.

" One can find no repeal in the New Testament of the Old Testament command to place the sign of the covenant of grace upon covenant children." - Dr. Robert L. Reymond

If credo-baptists numbering hundreds of millions reject God’s Word about baptism, we are bound to obey God rather than to smoke with them a peace pipe.
~ Rev. Adam Kaloostian
