CORRECTION: Steve Martin still lives in Georgia; Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service is in Pennsylvania. Steve has been a close friend for years to Cumberland Valley’s founder, Fred Huebner, and has served as a consultant to Cumberland Valley, but the store is now run by Fred’s son-in-law.

Pascal Denault has done a book review video before, but now is going to be making this a habit. Better yet, we are going to be making it another subset of our podcast feed (currently we have our weekly Tuesday interviews & Saturday headlines shows). Pascal Denault is going to have other Reformed Baptist pastors come and review books with him (especially but not exclusively new books). There is no set schedule for these so these will show up in our feed whenever he gets around to recording new episodes. Enough talk; here is episode one! In this episode, streamed live on Mar 4, 2014, Richard Barcellos and Pascal Denault review: 2:10 - Gospel of John (Andreas J. Kostenberger) 7:50 - Strange Fire (John MacArthur) During this part he brings up our following podcast episodes: Sam Waldron & Michael Brown DEBATE “Have NT Charismatic Gifts Ceased?” Sam Waldron – Gifts Debate Follow-up [1 of 2] Sam Waldron – Gifts Debate Follow-up [2 of 2] Other books brought up: Final Word by O.

On episode 44 of our podcast, we interview Steve Weaver about “An Orthodox Catechism” by Hercules Collins. We get into questions such as: How is it different than the Heidelberg Catechism? What is the history behind it? Is this beneficial for today? What is different with this version and the original? Why did he include old creeds in it? + more Subscribe to the podcast in a RSS reader, iTunes, Stitcher or by Email. An Orthodox Catechism by Hercules Collins (Author) , Michael A. G.

Do you know of any particular Baptist historically who wore clerical/preaching robe, and if so who? - - “Puritans in the Church of England objected to the Surplice and Vestments used in the worship of the church. Black robes, such as the Geneva gown, were in a very different category. A lot of people today fail to make the distinction between the two–I suspect that Spurgeon did too. This is a fairly useful (and generalized) summary of the early debates.” - James Renihan Happy Texas Independence Day!

On episode 43 of our podcast, we finish up our interview with Pastor Larry Vincent on Two Kingdoms Theology [2KT] (listen to part one). In this second part of this two part interview we get into questions dealing with pastoral and practical concerns such as: Are we to build a Kingdom of God on earth? What about the dominion mandate to Adam? Does this affect our understanding of “redeeming the culture” and living missionally and/or radically? Should we seek to institute Christian morality? + more Subscribe to the podcast in a RSS reader, iTunes, Stitcher or by Email This episode can also be watched: Links Mentioned: Heritage Baptist Church of Mansfield, Texas Books: Living in God’s Two Kingdoms: A Biblical Vision for Christianity and Culture by David VanDrunen Sermons: Sermons on 1 Peter [including "A Membership in Two Kingdoms"] “The Normal Christian Life” sermon series [ARBCA Military Chaplains] Dr. James Galyon “True Blue” blog Post-Interview Music: I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord

On episode 42 of our podcast, we interview Pastor Larry Vincent on Two Kingdoms Theology [2KT]. In part one of this two part interview we get into theological questions such as: What is 2KT and what is the Biblical basis for it? How does this relate to the Old Covenant and the New Covenant? Ecclesiology, Soteriology, Eschatology? This doctrine isn’t uniquely Baptist, but would you say it’s more consistently Baptist? Does this inform the Baptist doctrine of regenerate church membership or vice versa? Where do either of the London Baptist Confessions deal with 2KT? What is the relation of Christian Liberty/10 Commandments to 2KT? Next week we’ll dive more into pastoral and practical concerns (though they were touched on here).

We ask questions such as: How do we successfully wage spiritual warfare? What does it mean when the Bible calls Satan “the god of this age” (2 Cor. 4:4) and “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph.2:2)? (And how does this reconcile with God’s sovereignty?)
