Why are Baptists Becoming Anglican? (and more questions from our LIVE Q&A)

Your Calvinist Podcast with Keith Foskey

Questions and Timestamps:

[The Title Question is at minute 52:00]

Leading Bible Studies Without Getting Too Technical - What are your tips for studying to teach in a small group without becoming too academic or overwhelming? 9:45

Understanding Luke 12:33 - Should Christians today obey the command to “sell your possessions and give to the poor”? Does owning non-essential items violate this command? 15:54

Biblical Manhood - What do men in the church need most? How do we pursue biblical masculinity without embracing extremes? 30:06

Too Many Reformed Baptist Seminaries? - There are several Reformed Baptist seminaries in the South with overlapping faculty. Are they all necessary, or does this show division in the movement? 40:25

Affordable Seminary Options – What lower-cost seminary options would you recommend besides Luther Rice, especially for someone considering SBTS but open to alternatives due to cost? 40:25

Anglican Conversions Trend - Is the trend of Southern Baptists becoming Anglican similar to those converting to Catholicism or Orthodoxy? Is this something evangelicals should be concerned about? 52:04

Ecclesial Anxiety and Ecumenism – How should Protestants respond to “ecclesial anxiety” (attraction to Rome/Orthodoxy/Anglicanism) without compromising the Gospel, especially when some Protestant defenders downplay Sola Fide for unity? 52:04

Preaching Assignment – As a new pastoral resident preparing a 15–20 minute Sunday evening chapel message, would you recommend preaching a psalm (e.g., Psalm 10) for a one-off sermon? 1:10:59

Kippah at the Wailing Wall – In light of 1 Corinthians 11:7, should Christian men cover their heads when praying at the Wailing Wall? Was Paul’s instruction cultural, counter-cultural, or theological? Is head covering there a matter of Christian liberty (Romans 14)? Would you personally cover your head, and would you rebuke someone who didn’t? 1:15:15

Paedobaptism vs. Credobaptism – If someone becomes convinced of infant baptism, would infant immersion be preferable to pouring? If uncertain after study, how should one proceed? 1:24:00

Baptism for the Bedridden – Should baptism be withheld from a bedridden new believer if full immersion is impossible, or should the mode be adapted? 1:28:00

College Degree with No Career Intent – Is it unbiblical for a man to earn a degree with no intent to use it vocationally, planning instead to marry and become a stay-at-home dad? Would your answer differ if it were a woman pursuing a degree with the intent to marry and be a stay-at-home mom? 1:32:50

Forgiveness of Future Sins – If past sins are forgiven at conversion, how does Christ’s sacrifice atone for sins committed after becoming a believer? 1:41:00

Guilt Over Pre-Conversion Sin – How should a believer deal with lingering guilt and accusations over past blasphemous actions (mocking Christ in a pre-conversion film) when struggling with scrupulosity and OCD? 1:46:00

Office of Teacher – Do you agree with Calvin and the Puritans that “teacher” is a distinct New Testament office (all pastors are teachers, but not all teachers are pastors)? If so, should teachers be ordained? 1:49:05

Doctrines to Hold Firmly in Ministry – For someone preparing for ministry, which doctrines require firm convictions (e.g., baptism, Lord’s Supper, eschatology, covenant theology, age of the earth), and how should one prioritize study among many topics? 1:57:00

Divorce and Eldership – Does being divorced automatically disqualify a man from serving as a pastor or elder in light of 1 Timothy 3:2? 1:52:20
