I don’t think I can be much clearer than I have been in terms of my views about what Evangelicals in the Church of England should do, indeed, should have done a long time ago.

Is there really a big problem with what Tommy Robinson says?
On the 13th September, a number of professing Christians, identifying as “Patriot Pastors” joined the Unite the Kingdom rally organised by Tommy Robinson with some participating from the platform.

The Federal Vision and paedobaptism
In the Joint Federal Vision Profession (2007), the signatories wrote: We affirm that God formally unites a person to Christ and to His covenant people through baptism into the triune Name, and that this baptism obligates such a one to lifelong covenant loyalty to the triune God, each baptized person repenting of his sins and trusting in Christ… Continue reading The Federal Vision and paedobaptism
