The Reformers and their Stepchildren

Hello. Here’s me (Christy) giving an impromptu audio review of the first few chapters to Tony. This book is very scholarly and thus takes more time to go through but I have been enjoying reading about the remnant of true believers that have always historically been. I don’t call myself “reformed” because I didn’t come out of the churches formed by Luther or Calvin. I think that we should be careful of the term unless you used to embrace the Roman Catholic doctrine at one time and now have converted to Lutheran or Presbyterian doctrines fully. Simply believing the 5 points of TULIP is not enough to make oneself ‘reformed’. It seems that some of my beliefs would be enough for some reformers to burn me at the stake! I would probably be labeled a heretic because I don’t line up exactly with many of their doctrines (such as paedo-baptism).
