The Remarriage of the Guilty Party

741998
by Engelsma David, in Editorial

Now the guilty party may remarry. The man or the woman who committed adultery against his wife or her husband, thus causing the divorce in his or her first marriage, is allowed to remarry and to be a member in good standing in the church. The churches that are now allowing this are evangelical, Reformed, and Presbyterian churches. They are evangelical, Reformed, and Presbyterian churches that have a reputation for conservatism and orthodoxy.

Read on the Web I have just finished reading the article on John Gill and hyper-Calvinism ("John Gill: Hyper-Calvinist? [A Review Article]," Standard Bearer, April 15, 1996). I want to thank you for posting this on your site and for the professor's clear explanation of the difference between real hyper-Calvinism and what is falsely called hyper-Calvinism, that is, the denial of the so-called "sincere" or "well-meant" offer. I have not previously been acquainted with your circle of churches (I am a Reformed Baptist), but I am pleased to read of your history on this site.

Book Reviews

741998
by Engelsma David, in Book Reviews

Today's Gospel and Apostolic Exhortations: A Study in the Presentation of the Gospel, by A. G. Randalls. Windmill Hill, East Sussex, England: The Huntingtonian Press, 1997. 103 pp. Price unknown (paper). [Reviewed by the editor.] Promising much, this book delivers little. It claims to be "the first book to set in order true principles regarding the way in which it is safe to address mixed congregations expounding those passages of Scripture which for too long have been misrepresented" (back cover).
