We do not reject good works; we embrace them and teach them in the highest degree. It is not on their own account that we condemn them, but on account of the impious and perverse notion of seeking justification by them. —Martin Luther reformeddogmatika.com/concer…

If you’re new to the five points of Calvinism an Arminian friend may respond, “Calvin murdered Servetus!” Knowing what happened helps us answer honestly. A fair judgment considers Calvin as a man of his time without us approving everything he did: reformeddogmatika.com/calvin…

A link to a carefully written article by a brother who habitually engages in good will, and has worked hard to ground (unavoidably) contentious elements of the narrative in original sources. I appreciate Anthony's article. It makes insightful points, and is worth a read.
On this day in 1553, Michael Servetus was burned at the stake in Geneva. Calvin did not murder him, but he supported the council’s sentence. What did Servetus believe, and why did Calvin support his execution? reformeddogmatika.com/calvin…

Servetus was put to death today in 1553. If you had lived in Geneva in 1553, would you have supported John Calvin in the execution of Michael Servetus or opposed it?

A great thought to empower our worship today: In justification, God declares of penitent believers that they’re not, and never will be, liable to the death that their sins deserve, because Jesus Christ their substitute and sacrifice, tasted death in their place on the cross. —JI Packer

I’m inclined to agree with RC Sproul on this. How about you? “Every Christian is indwelt by the Holy Spirit. His presence guarantees liberty from demonic possession.” Can a Christian be demon-possessed? ⬇️ reformeddogmatika.com/can-a-…

Some professing Christians claim to have experienced demon possession, even after coming to faith in Christ. But is that actually possible? Can someone who belongs to Christ also be possessed by a demon? Read more ⬇️ reformeddogmatika.com/can-a-…
