Honest To PodAbout Reformed 'Close' Confessional Communion: Why "credible profession of faith" of penitent, baptized church members is not the biblically sufficient criterion for admission to the Lord's Supper
text version: https://honest2blog.blogspot.com/2024/04/about-close-confessional-communion.html
The usual standard for admission to the Lord's Supper in Orthodox Presbyterian Church (and other NAPARC) congregations is that the would-be communicant have a credible profession of faith in the gospel, live penitently, and be a baptized member of a gospel-believing church. The confessional Presbyterian & Reformed view of close communion or confessional communion is not widely known or understood today. Gregory Baus describes the Reformed close/confessional view in...

Resolving Romans 13 Objections, with Greg Baus In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy podcast, Jacob sits down to talk with Gregory Baus, one of the hosts of the Reformed Libertarians Podcast. The focus was on the confessionally Reformed "political resistance" or prescriptive-office view of Romans 13 (although the interpretation and its logical argumentation doesn't exclusively depend upon being confessionally reformed). The discussion delved into the biblical interpretation regarding civil governance ordained by God, diverging from the prevalent providential view often associated with the state's role.

Often when talking about libertarian anarchist philosophy or the libertarian critiques of the State, the topic of war comes up. Libertarian anarchists generally take oppositional positions on war, often depicting themselves as being anti-war on the whole. As Christians, our view on war should be, as with all things, be informed by a sound reading and understanding of Scripture.
