But as these quotes evidence, his cessationism wasn't the cold and dry type we see in some churches today. When it comes to soteriology, he's one of the most clear-sighted theologians in history - so I guess we shouldn't be too surprised that he was excited about the Gospel! Same goes for Jonathan Edwards. Blessings, Derek Barry,

Calvin was a cessationist, of course, but I won't hold that against him. :-) Those were encouraging quotes, weren’t they? Calvin was a cessationist, of course, but I won’t hold that against him. :-)

I had already noticed the link to the band's music, and made a mental note to download the EP. I'm looking forward to hearing it. The Baylys are good writers (took after their father) and, I'm sure, good pastors. Grace and peace to you, brother. Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment, Jacob.

It looks like we share some acquaintances from my SBC days (based on some of your links). I currently attend Tim Bayly's church and am a student at the ClearNote Pastors College. And no, that doesn't mean that I jumped ship on baptism :) After reading your post, I wondered if you'd be interested in some (free) music our church produced (with ClearNote Records)? I'd be interested in hearing what you think: http://goodshepherdband.com God Bless, Hi Barry,
