Irish Articles of Religion: Article 85
The Sacraments ordained by Christ be not only badges or tokens of Christian men’s profession: but rather certain sure witnesses, and effectual or powerful signs of grace and God’s good will towards us, by which he doth work invisibly in us, and not only quicken but also strengthen and confirm our faith in him.

Collect for the 10th Sunday after Pentecost
O God, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us thy mercy, that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Irish Articles of Religion: Article 89
Baptism is not only an outward sign of our profession, and a note of difference whereby Christians are discerned from such as are no Christians; but much more a Sacrament of our admission into the Church, sealing unto us our new birth (and consequently our Justification, Adoption, and Sanctification) by the communion which we have with Jesus Christ.

Irish Articles of Religion: Article 92
The Lord’s Supper is not only a sign of the mutual love which Christians ought to bear one towards another, but much more a Sacrament of our preservation in the Church, sealing unto us our spiritual nourishment and continual growth in Christ.

Will the Real Baptism Please Stand Up?
Ephesians 4:8 states emphatically that there is one baptism. This is a multi-faceted claim on the part of the apostle.
First, this text weighs against the practice of rebaptism. There is one baptism: having received it, there is no need for anyone to seek out another baptism.
Second, there is one baptism that sums up the meaning of the multiple old covenant baptisms... [The Levitical washings and] baptismal rites (cf. Heb. 9:10) are folded into the one baptism of the new age.
Third, there is one baptism in that all Christian baptism is based upon and derives from Christ’s baptism.
Fourth, Paul’s language of one baptism resists the modern tendency to split baptism into “water baptism” and “spiritual baptism.” I take this as self-evident in the passage: if Paul has in view a “secret baptism,” how could we know who to seek unity with? Paul, in other words, insists on a unity of the rite and the Spirit’s work. God does something Spiritual through physical means.

Calvin - Aphorisms on Holy Baptism
God is so kind and liberal to his servants, as, for their sakes, to appoint even the children who shall descend from them to be enrolled among his people. (Institutes 4.16.15)
God pronounces that he adopts our infants as his children, before they are born, when he promises that he will be a God to us, and to our seed after us. This promise includes their salvation. (Institutes 4.15.20)
I am not moved by the objection that the mere promise of God ought to be sufficient to assure us of the salvation of our children.... [God gives us a] surer confidence seeing the covenant of the Lord engraven on the bodies of our children. (Institutes 4.16.9)
The children of the faithful which are born in the Church are from their mother’s womb of the household of the kingdom of God. (Commentary on Acts Ch. 10)
The salvation of infants is included in the promise in which God declares to believers that he will be a God to them and to their seed ... Their salvation, therefore, has not its commencement in baptism, but being already founded on the word, is sealed by baptism. (Antidote to Trent 6.5)

Since 2002, the movement known as Federal Vision has been one surrounding controversy.
While many have debated, reviewed, adhered to, or critiqued this theology- the admins of @ProtestantPost & @CalvinismMemes hope to shed some light on the subject.
The question "Is Federal Vision Heterodox?" Will be debated live, Lord willing, on @toastpilled on 9:30PM EST Friday, August 2.
CalvinismMemes will be arguing the Affirmative, whereas ProtestantPost will be arguing the Negative.
We hope above all, that this conversation be edifying to the glory of God and hope to see you on the Live Stream.
After the debate, the audience will have a chance to ask questions, so be ready to sharpen iron!

At the end of this world the Lord Jesus shall come in the clouds with the glory of his Father; at which time, by the almighty power of God, the living shall be changed and the dead shall be raised; and all shall appear both in body and soul before his judgment seat, to receive according to that which they have done in their bodies, whether good or evil.
Irish Articles of Religion: Article 104
When the last judgment is finished, Christ shall deliver up the Kingdom to his Father, and God shall be all in all.

Today I learned that James White is more antisemitic than me.
Apparently, laughing at memes about jews is grounds for him threatening to "name names" and urge elders to "step down."
The fruit of this is encouraging jews to remain in unrepentant carnal security.

Here's the meme in question. Apparently laughing at this means you're deeply in sin...for what exactly, he isn't saying.

More Aphorisms on Baptism
Baptized infants are to be received as children of God and treated accordingly.
-- John Murray, Christian Baptism
[The] family ... is the New Testament basis of the Church of God ... [God] does, indeed require individual faith for salvation; but He organizes His people in families first; and then into churches His promises are all the more precious that they are to us and our
children. And though this may not fit with the growing individualism of the day, it is God’s ordinance.
-- B. B. Warfield, The Polemics of Infant Baptism
God has cast the line of election so it runs for the most part through the loins of godly parents.
-- Increase Mather, Sermon from 1678
The child of a Christian parent is presumptively a Christian and an heir of eternal life ...The biblical paradigm is for covenant children to grow up in faith from infancy.
-- Robert Rayburn, The Presbyterian Doctrine of Covenant Succession
