"I don't think my daughter is regenerated because she doesn't show any interest in God or his Son." -- actual quote by an actual Pres-Bapterian pastor

"I don't think my daughter is straight / a girl because she doesn't show any interest in boys / babies."

The same logic in a different context is obviously retarded. We see a) the folly of heart-reading, b) the confusion of maturity and reality, and c) the very real link between ecclesiastical individualism and the gender bender madness.

God, on his part, promises to grant the benefits signified in baptism to all adults who receive that sacrament in the exercise of faith, and to all infants who, when they arrive at maturity, remain faithful to the vows made in their name when they were baptized.

-- Charles Hodge, Systematic Theology, 3.20.12

Unpopular opinion: If you do not believe in baptismal regeneration, then you do not believe the Nicene Creed and the declaration, "We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins."

Our baptism must be unto us a storehouse of all comfort in the time of our need. If thou art tempted of the devil, oppose against him your baptism in which God has promised and sealed unto you the pardon of your sins and life everlasting. If thou art troubled with doubtings and weakness of faith, consider that God has given you an earnest and pledge of His loving kindness to you..... Often look upon the will of your heavenly Father sealed and delivered to you in your baptism, and you shall the better be resolved in the middle of all your doubts. If you lie under any cross or calamity, have recourse to your baptism, in which God promised to be your God, and of this promise He will not fail you.

-- William Perkins, Commentary on Galatians

The Lord was Baptized, not to be cleansed Himself, but to cleanse the waters, so that those waters, cleansed by the flesh of Christ which knew no sin, might have the power of Baptism.
— St. Ambrose of Milan

Deus Vult. And yes, it is a far right slogan, because God is with us. Cope harder. And in His name, we will win, Deus Vult.

Calvin the Presuppositionalist -- ICR 1.3.1

That there exists in the human minds and indeed by natural instinct, some sense of Deity, we hold to be beyond dispute, since God himself, to prevent any man from pretending ignorance, has endued all men with some idea of his Godhead....

The believing have, in love, the character of God the Father by Jesus Christ, by whom, if we are not in readiness to die into His passion, His life is not in us.

-- St. Ignatius of Antioch, To the Magnesians

Do the Crusades offend you James White? Do they make you uncomfortable, Doug Wilson?

Good. Christian men willing to die for their faith have always intimidated God's enemies and weakminded lukewarm men. Pray you only fall into the second category.

Hi. I'm your Christian Prince. My father won the 2nd American Civil War, so we made degeneracy illegal.

Get in the crystal now. What's that? Due process? Unconstitutional? Lol. What part of "we won" did you not understand?

Calvin: Monotheism Insufficient -- ICR 1.4.3

It makes little difference, at least in this respect, whether you hold the existence of one God, or a plurality of gods, since, in both cases alike, by departing from the true God, you have nothing left but an execrable idol.

Baptism is given as a pledge of our adoption; for by it we are grafted into the body of Christ, so as to be washed and cleansed by his blood, and then renewed in purity of life by his Holy Spirit. We hold, also, that although we are baptized only once, yet the gain that it symbolizes to us reaches over our whole lives and to our death, so that we have a lasting witness that Jesus Christ will always be our justification and sanctification.

-- French Confession (aka Gallican Confession) Article 35, John Calvin 1559

SO MUCH WINNING! 🤣

There is no person, creature, or realm, no thought, word, or deed, which is truly secular.

Everything is ultimately and essentially God-confessing or God-denying.

Again, he asks, if the sacraments are instruments by which God acts efficaciously, and testifies and seals his grace to us, why do we deny, that by the washing of baptism men are born again? As if our alleged denial were not a fiction of his own. Having distinctly asserted, that men are regenerated by baptism, just as they are by the word, I early obviated the impudence of the man, and left nothing for his invective to strike at but his own shadow.
