Same building different role ;). After becoming convinced of Presbyterian church government and paedobaptism, Agros merged with the church in whose building we met, Reformation Orthodox Presbyterian Church. I am now a pastoral intern there and working on ordination in the OPC while preaching regularly there.
@@DaneKristjan wow that is super cool. Glad you had the gusto to follow your convictions! I have been struggling with the church government question as a Baptist, but not quite sold on infant baptism. Although I have been doing a deep dive into that study especially from Lutheran and Presbyterian perspectives. Did Taylor switch over with you?
@@BibleFanatics yeah for me both were easy since in my governmental views and covenant views I was already halfway there lol. I would for sure reject the Lutheran articulation of it. For me the question came down to "what is baptism?" Is it something we are doing toward God or God is doing toward us? Every other sacrament of the covenant of grace is God revealing his grace to us, declaring or typifying God's faithfulness in Christ to us: the tree of life in the garden points to Christ; the rainbow points to Christ; circumcision points to Christ (Col.2/Gal3); the Davidic throne points to Christ; the Lord's Supper points to Christ, but then we get to baptism and does it now point to us? All the other sacraments demonstrated God's faithfulness to us in the covenant of grace, why then would baptism point to our faithfulness toward God? That and wrestling through other similar questions was key for my transition. Hope to make a video on it soon. Yes Taylor is also a member at ROPC, just had his daughter baptized!
@@DaneKristjan Yeah I know the Lutheran position is baptismal regeneration but that is because they believe it is God who works and delivers promises in baptism. They would argue it is a greater fulfillment than circumcision, and by the Spirit working through it performs the very thing it signifies namely regeneration, faith and repentance. So it would be a God to us view. Although as a Baptist I have a God to us view of Baptism. Although I agree a lot of Baptist get this flipped on its head. I can't wait for your video. You persuaded me on the T.R. now it may be Presbyteriansim. Haha. Glad you and Taylor have stuck together, it's always easier to go through things like this with someone else.
