So for example does my being the head mean I have to indicate what we eat for dinner, when the floor gets cleaned, what tweeds my kids wear, etc or not. I think operationally we tend to let the wife get on with ruling within the home whilst recognizing that if new decisions need to be made (or current practices reviewed) the head can veto/overrule/realign/etc. In other words the woman as 'head of household' is a recognition of her real authority/power/rule in the home, even though this has been delegated to her by the husband.<br /><br />KRev'd Reflections, a curate considers...https://www.blogger.com/profile/08318719669446039048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039176481752469726.post-33577708971307484052011-06-08T14:49:18.570+01:002011-06-08T14:49:18.570+01:00Interesting.

At first glance I don't see any real friction between encouraging women to live out Prov 31, and holding to a complementarian position of male and female relationships/roles. <br /><br />I suppose that's because I don't see the 'head of the household' idea, a la the active managing of the physical family home as you get in Prov 31, as being in opposition to the truth that the husband is the 'head', i.e. the one with authority/leadership role of the family unit. <br /><br />It doesn't seem the Prov 31 wife is trying to be the 'head', as the Bible would normally use the word; certainly the term itself isn't used, in my copy of Prov 31 anyway. <br /><br />I've also heard Prov 31 taught not as a 'this is the model wife' but 'this is true wisdom', which might change the way some view what the writers conveying when he exults her for her material provision for the family.<br /><br />But aside from that, surely this passage helps us to appreciate the richness of the wife's vital role in the home/household, but the tectonic plates aren't as rickety as first thought?Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854839609821362906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039176481752469726.post-1303774654902876202011-05-28T09:21:11.666+01:002011-05-28T09:21:11.666+01:00Hey Mr Tom,
Two comments in one evening - this is...Hey Mr Tom,<br /><br />Two comments in one evening - this is good and I'm loving the interaction - keep it coming bro...<br /><br />Question 4 logically follows if one is happy and convinced with the baptism of infants. It's a comment that illustrates what the paedobaptist ultimately believes (wittingly or unwittingly) about what goes on in Baptism. If not, then we would be guilty of the awful evil of knowingly baptising pagans but that is not our view - we are to baptise those we deem to be Christians.<br /><br />As for Biblical evidence, consider the following<br /><br />Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.<br /><br />What we often forget here is that Peter says Repent and be baptized **for** the forgiveness of your sins. He doesn't say Repent for the forgiveness of your sins and then be baptised to show what has happened inside of you.<br /><br />Interesting, this same pattern is what happens for the Apostle Paul. This is how he recounts his moment of conversion:<br /><br />12 “A man named Ananias came to see me. He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there. <br /><br />13 He stood beside me and said, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ And at that very moment I was able to see him.<br /><br />14 “Then he said: ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. <br /><br />15 You will be his witness to all people of what you have seen and heard. <br /><br />16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.’<br /><br />Notice those 7 words in the last verse? Be baptized and wash your sins away - that is Paul's testimony... not how we often describe our salvation is it?<br /><br />I think a similar point could be argued from Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3-7; 1 Corinthians 12:13.<br /><br />Tom, thanks for comments.

Thanks for posting and great to hear ...Yo Seidler,<br /><br />Thanks for posting and great to hear from you...<br /><br />Regarding my comment that baptism is clearly proclaimed in Scripture. Well I am convinced that it is and over the next few weeks as we consider various passages, this will become evident. Of course it is not evident in the here is a specific verse and chapter saying "thou shall baptise thy infants" but more by examining what Scripture says about parents, children, family, God's covenant and the like. As one of my contemporary heroes says "Many Christians have come to baptistic conclusions because they simply took a Bible and a concordance, and then looked up every incident of baptism in the New Testament. This is objectionable, not because they studied they pasages concerned with baptism, but because they did not look up all the passages that addressed parents, children, generations, descendants, promises, covenants, circumcision, Gentiles, Jews, olive trees and countless other important areas. In other words, the subject is bigger than it looks" Let me put it another way by considering slightly different examples - where is the explicit verse on the Trinity? Or that we should have sermons when we meet on Sunday? Or that when you "come of age" you are to be baptised? Do you have specific chapter and verse for any of these?<br /><br />Much love,<br /><br />KipperRev'd Reflections, a curate considers...https://www.blogger.com/profile/08318719669446039048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039176481752469726.post-45078878993366488542011-05-27T23:00:09.462+01:002011-05-27T23:00:09.462+01:00Dear Kip'ster,
BIG Issues with **Question 4.*...Dear Kip'ster,<br /><br />BIG Issues with **Question 4.** What nuts is that Kip? Nothing less than the error of baptismal generation. What mindless folly? You surely don't believe that? It really doesn't seem remotely biblical. Not 1 John's take on assurance, how can you know you are a Christian. Very unfortunate phrasing it seems to me. "God made me his child in baptism." Where would one get that from scripture?<br /><br />By believing in his name we received the right to be called children of God. We were brought forth by his word, born of God, of the Spirit. Baptism is a picture of the change, it is NOT what made me his child. Maybe this has been badly translated from another language (i try to paint the author in the best light possible here, though no doubt he's far more godly than this weak brother!).<br /><br />Peace Mr Kip, sorry it took so long to comment on these, but had to get my google account warmed up...<br /><br />As always, much love, ur well blessed with a lovely youth and wife now... may u continue to know his grace and peace, and u know i'm seeking ur prayers too! ;)<br /><br />TThomas Seidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696593856537524908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039176481752469726.post-19211979544172167212011-05-27T22:52:44.500+01:002011-05-27T22:52:44.500+01:00Hey Kipster,

CLEARLY proclaimed? Let's be straight: *you* are not just talking about the baptism, but more importantly the salvation of infants born of Christian parents from conception?<br /><br />I am familiar with how you derive it from biblical theology. But you failed to provide any clear verses that teach baptism/salvation of children of Christian parents. Perhaps you mean the 'you and your household verses' are the 'clear proclamation' of instantaneous salvation for all in family if one member believes (does it have to be the male head)?<br /><br />We see salvation as absolutely massive, and someone crossing from death to life as of paramount importance, hence we want explicit texts on this stuff, it's too important to be unclear. The faith of your parents does not save you. Repent and be baptised, believe and be baptised, now those are CLEAR proclamations for the baptism of repentant believing individuals. You at best have implicit stuff. Which is not enough on such cataclysmic territory.<br /><br />There we are the baptists begin to respond, i've got to go and post on your other slightly crazzy baptismal regeneration post too! ;)<br /><br />Lots of love in Christ,<br /><br />TomThomas Seidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696593856537524908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039176481752469726.post-90467061605063336962011-05-21T08:51:13.423+01:002011-05-21T08:51:13.423+01:00Eeeerm, where to begin?

And do you think that the Prophets, John the Baptist, Paul etc embraced this approach when engaging with the public/the Church? <br /><br />This is a crucial issue for our age and Keller is a key leader in the Church and instead of defending the gospel at the point where it is presently being attacked the most, he chooses to say "I'm saying nothing"... I mean if his criticism that there is no one out there expressing a right view on gay issues why didn't he take the opportunity to express + model that for us and why chicken out of being able to stand up for Scripture in future right at the end of the interview. I'm afraid given Keller's ducking of the issue (the last time at a "Reformed" theologicial college!) this is very disappointing.<br /><br />KRev'd Reflections, a curate considers...https://www.blogger.com/profile/08318719669446039048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039176481752469726.post-11962438915313789292011-04-30T15:02:29.790+01:002011-04-30T15:02:29.790+01:00Seems like a sensitivity to wanting to be heard we...Seems like a sensitivity to wanting to be heard well, and being aware that in a very public preaching settling there are very true things you could say that would either not be rightly heard, or would be being heard at the wrong point, whereas in smaller settings and even one on one you could really talk through the difficulties.
