An exchange with someone bitching about the Reformed Baptists...
---------

I have had enough of
the RBs, especially Kenny. Pure idiosyncrasy. He never uses his brain.
sing
I do still love them
despite all the doctrinal differences. (They are lovely people I associated
with for nearly 20 years before I was denounced as a heretic.)
Leongurl
Aiyah, you only see
them once a year, and they don't force their theology on to you. Else you will
VOMIT Blood also.
Just asking, since
you said that you can still love them. If I get baptised in xyRBC and become a
member there, would you continue to teach me?
Only a spineless
and brainless person can be forced into any belief!
sing
I will ask them
questions politely... to make them think and see their errors. I have not given up on anyone who would
listen and can be reasoned with. 🙂
Leongurl
You haven't replied
to this Q: "Would you still continue to teach me?
U should have PITY
on me, coz I get fed all the WRONG Theology by the people here. So if you don't
want to teach me anymore, then I will become like them, very ignorant. In fact,
all of the church leaders here are all very ignoramus.
(Since you are aware that you are being fed the wrong theology, this presupposes that you already know the right theology, does it not?)️
sing
The answer to your
question has two perspectives. (I have from the beginning exhorted you to be
churched; you have remained churchless for too long.)
Getting baptised and
becoming a member of the church BRINGS YOU under the rule and authority of
elders of the church.
You must understand
this aspect of the biblical churchmanship.
When you are a
member of a church, you have put yourself under the jurisdiction/spiritual oversight of that
church. I must respect this biblical truth.
My continuing to
take liberty to teach you may be seen as meddling with the members of another
church; this is especially so because there is a theological controversy
between xy-RBC and a "heretic" in their eyes.
So, you need to find
out when you are interviewed for baptism and membership whether you are free
to continue asking me questions!!!🤣🤣
I don't turn away
anyone who comes to me with questions, not even the smart alecks.
Ask them questions
politely... make them think and see their errors. DON'T give up on anyone.
Leongurl
Aiyah. I just don't
tell xyRBC that I continue to learn from you lah. I can pretend that I am not
learning from u.️
sing
You can pretend, BUT
Christ, the Head of His church sees all things that I do. I am subjected to His
headship.
Leongurl
Well, u r just helping me to discover the
TRUTH only, u r not teaching me to rebel
against xyRBC️

Hebrews 13:17 KJT
"Obey them that
have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls,
as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with
grief: for that is unprofitable for you."
This is a command.
If you can, with clear conscience, submit to the rule of the elders of the
church, then join the church. I would be more than happy that you are churched!
Leongurl
xyRBC can church me
pastorally, I don't have any problems with that. But Theologically, I don't
want to subscribe to their Theology 😅. Later I have to subscribe to Andrew Fuller’s rubbish and AW
Tozer's teaching n there goes part of my Temporal Salvation already. When one's
doctrines are wrong, one's good works will also be incorrect. And good works
determine our Temporal Salvation
sing
You are too
reactionary minded. When you are a member, you have the biblical standing to
raise your questions and the church has the duty to deal with them. You don't
have to subscribe to errors but you have the right to insist on hearing the
truth from the inspired Scriptures.
2 Timothy 4:2 KJV —
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort
with all longsuffering and doctrine.
Not everyone in xyRBC is brain-dead like you think. Good questions will inevitably make some start THINKING... and ASKING Q's. That's when conversion starts taking place.
Leongurl
The church has a
duty to shut up dissenters who don't subscribe to their teaching. This was what
happened to me in zRBC. Once bitten, twice shy. I won't try it in xyRBC
U should read what I
told Smarty there.
sing
The most basic thing
is: you have to make up your own mind whether you want to be a member of a
church.
Otherwise, all is
just futile talks.
What truth did you
attempt to show them?
What did you do?
How did you do it?
Leongurl
I also want to
advance in learning God's words. I have tons of things to learn. Let sleeping
dogs lie.
sing
You won't; you will
keep on whining and bitching about them being brainless and acting like idiots.
🤣🤣
What truth have you
attempted to teach them?
What did you do?
How did you do it?
