Wednesday // Pastor Ed Romero // Second London Baptist Confession of Faith Chapter 26
In this essential episode, we dive deep into Baptist Catechism Question 15, exploring the doctrine of God's Special Providence and the nature of the first covenant made with Adam. This is a crucial theological discussion that lays the foundation for understanding sin, redemption, and the superiority of the Covenant of Grace in Christ! We ask: "What special act of providence did God exercise towards man in the estate wherein he was created?" Learn how God established the Covenant of Life (also known as the Covenant of Works or Adamic Covenant), requiring perfect obedience and instituting a positive law—the prohibition against eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. We break down the difference between God's ordinary and special acts of providence (drawing from the 2nd London Baptist Confession 5.2) and explain why this single prohibition was necessary for testing man's allegiance. Ultimately, we reveal why the failure of the Covenant of Works makes the Covenant of Grace in Jesus Christ so much better. The glorious obedience of the Last Adam (Christ) is the only path to justification and eternal life, contrasting sharply with the disobedience of the First Adam. This is a vital episode for anyone studying Systematic Theology, the Baptist Confession, or the structure of God's redemptive plan!

Five Reasons why The London Baptist Confession of Faith was written: On the Holy Scriptures.:
Each church, and all the members of it, are bound to pray continually for the good and prosperity of all the churches of Christ, in all places, and upon all occasions to further every one within the bounds of their places and callings, in the exercise of their gifts and graces, so the churches, when planted by the providence of God, so as they may enjoy opportunity and advantage for it, ought to hold communion among themselves, for their peace, increase of love, and mutual edification. (1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith 26.14)

Wednesday // Pastor Ed Romero // Second London Baptist Confession of Faith Chapter 26
This lecture establishes the historical and theological foundations of Reformed Baptist identity by tracing its roots to the Protestant Reformation and the English Separatist movement, emphasizing that Reformed Baptists are not merely a subset of General Baptists but a distinct expression of the broader Reformed tradition. Drawing from 1 Timothy 4, the preacher underscores the necessity of holding fast to the objective, scriptural truth once delivered to the saints, warning against the dilution of doctrine in modern usage. The narrative highlights how the Particular (Reformed) Baptists, emerging from the same separatist milieu as other reformed traditions, preserved a high view of Scripture, believer's baptism by immersion, and the immediate headship of Christ over the local church, while explicitly affirming their unity with other Reformed traditions through confessions like the 1689 London Baptist Confession. The lecture argues that being a Reformed Baptist means embracing a doctrinal heritage rooted in the Reformation, expressed through a written, historically grounded confession of faith, and committed to both doctrinal precision and ecclesial unity across denominational lines.
As all believers are bound to join themselves to particular churches, when and where they have opportunity so to do; so all that are admitted unto the privileges of a church, are also under the censures and government thereof, according to the rule of Christ. (1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith 26:12)

The work of pastors is to give constant attention to the service of Christ in His churches in the ministry of the Word and prayer. They are to watch over the souls of church members as those who must give an account to Christ. The churches to whom they minister must not only give them all due respect but also must share with them from all their good things according to their ability. They must do this so their pastors may have a comfortable living without having to be entangled in secular matters and so they can show hospitality to others. This is required by the law of nature and by the explicit command of our Lord Jesus, who has ordained that those who preach the gospel should earn their living by the gospel.(1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith 26.10)

No-Co Radio host Pastor Mike Abendroth discusses the concept of "party spirits," or the tendency for Christians to believe that God only works within their specific theological group. He recounts a story from Luke 9:49, where John tells Jesus they tried to stop someone from casting out demons because "he does not follow with us". Mike uses this as a starting point to argue that Christians should rejoice when Christ is proclaimed, even by those with different theological views, such as those from Calvary Chapel or Arminian denominations. He admits that while he holds strong theological convictions—subscribing to the London Baptist Confession of 1689 and believing in the five points of Calvinism, for example—he believes it's important to show charity and kindness to other Christians.
