Why We're Not Presbyterian

Have you ever wondered about what's the difference between a confessional Baptist position on covenant theology and a Presbyterian and Reformed position on covenant theology?

I know that many of you have wondered this because you've asked me about it personally at events where we've been together.

So, John and I have that conversation today.

What's the difference between our position as confessional Baptists and the position of Presbyterian Reformed friends that we have on covenant theology?

And you're going to find out that it really all comes down to the covenant of grace.

How we understand the covenant of grace is promised and revealed and then established in the scriptures.

We hope this is a clarifying conversation for you.

We hope it's helpful.

Stay tuned.

If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word.

It's called pietism.

Have you ever felt like the Christian life is a heavy burden versus rest and joy?

That you wake up worrying about how well you're going to perform instead of thinking about what Christ has done for you.

It's dread versus joy, really.

That's pietism.

Pietism causes Christians to look in on themselves and find their hope not in what Christ has done, but what they're doing.

And we have a little book for you.

It's free.

We want you to download it, and we're going to explain the difference between pietism and what we call confessionalism, reformed theology, really, how it is that we walk by faith, seeing the joy of Christ.

And when Jesus says, Come to me and I will give you rest, what does that look like?
