This article does not site any sources and is making extravagant claims. I seriously doubt anyone using just canabis is having any of these problems. Alcolhol is far more abused and dangerous. This CDC article says:
https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/underage-drinking.htm Excessive drinking is responsible for more than 4,300 deaths among underage youth each year, and cost the U.S. $24 billion in economic costs in 2010.2,3
Although drinking by persons under the age of 21 is illegal, people aged 12 to 20 years drink 11% of all alcohol consumed in the United States.4 More than 90% of this alcohol is consumed in the form of binge drinks.4
On average, underage drinkers consume more drinks per drinking occasion than adult drinkers.5
In 2013, there were approximately 119,000 emergency rooms visits by persons aged 12 to 21 for injuries and other conditions linked to alcohol. Seems like alcohol is much more dangerous but I still think we all have the right to buy alcohol. I also believe marijuana should be legalized. Sin is everywhere and many will make bad choices but that should not make us punish the ones who make good choices. |

Alas. Scripture got on real fine without calvinism for 1500 years Augustine was a good "Calvinist" which was recognised by Calvin himself. So the theology has been around for a longer period than you suggest. In fact 2014 years and counting. The truth never changes and the Reformers Biblical exegesis has been shown to be the best and most accurate teaching of truth in history. The Lord has surely blessed this exegesis of Scripture for many centuries. Calvinism comes directly from Scripture and is used by the elect - One only has to observe the Puritans to see that clearly they were all good Calvinists. John Owen is actually called the quote "English calvin" Perhaps you need to study the Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin to help you overcome your difficulties with Bible doctrine. |

Speaking of saying all manner of nasty stuff against a brother, how does your calling John blasphemous, unorthodox, Arminian, arrogant, incompetent, evil heart, come out of your heart? Are you a brother in Christ? You Arminians do stick together don't you. |

It is a mystery to me what he keeps babbling about.
But on the baptism issue, we have had this selfsame debate before. (p.s. he prefers to call them contests not debates; and before the debate has run its course, he always declares he has won the contest, puts a calvin medallion around his neck, and stands on a little rostrum he made specially, and plays back on an old cassette player some prerecorded applause to the sound of the bagpipes playing the John Knox Theme Tune.) Well, that's the impression I get anyway. Maybe he leaves out the appplause bit.  More persecution and insults John. Is this your version of Christianity? Is this Baptist doctrine? How sad that others posting cannot read your heart. But then the Remnant is small and persecuted."Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake." Praise be to God our Father and Christ Jesus His Son. Amen. |

You say: "...the arminian philosophy of requiring human input to authenticate their baptisms".
So how do YOU baptise an unknown quantity, when you baptise a believing penitent sinner (one of God's elect) if he comes from a family of unbelievers? Does someone in your church have to give some "human input" and "authenticate" his baptism? Or do you just baptise folks born to unbelievers willy nilly upon a profession of faith?
p.s. I have asked you this question many, many times, and you are yet to answer it. This does not bode well for your arguments, which are shown to be deceptive and irrational. I would sincerely like an answer, because until I get one, I can only regard you as a spiritual quack in the same league as Family radio.
Procrastinations, vague references to posts which have gone before, diversionary tactics, all speak of the devil, and it is time you realised that. Oh John I love it when you get all emotive in your posts. You become so unChristian in your insults.As for your question re adults coming to the faith where their parents are not Covenanted. We do not rely on their confession, paedoBaptism proves this. Now remember Do not discriminate against the seed of Covenanting parents. God doesn't. |

Please define this phrase for me and everyone else on these threads who are bemused by your strange meanderings and lack of desire/ability to answer questions put to you. John. The phrase is "defined" in the post below the one you cut this one from. Just change the word "baptisms" to salvation.===== KJB Believer wrote:
Just one word?
That the thing about taking a/numbers of verse or word(s) out of context. It results in Smithites(Morons), Russalites, Waterdogs, Grace "Preachers" or Dry Cleaners(Bullingerites), Andersonies(Faithful Word Baptist Church), need I go on. Thats more than one word.I didn't chose the words John did. BTW If you are implying that out of context is the same as heresy, then wait until you learn more about religion before jumping to conclusions. |

John UK wrote:
The following words do not fit together very well......
1. good
2. biblical
3. calvinist
4. presbyterian John. Promise me you'll study the Bible more closely. I don't want you to fall into the trap of arminian DIY. The first two words I'm sure you comprehend Biblically. The third as CHS states "IS" the Gospel. The fourth is directly from the Greek word in Scripture and illustrates how we have remained Biblical. But you dunkers since 1521AD have taken an alternate path from Bible Covenant doctrine.  |

I am a "heterodox liberal" in my theology Your short term memory is extremely short isn't it John.Why not read your own posts below to find your errors. John posted below quote, "he will be assisted by those who regard the Bible more than the writings of men, or solemn leagues, covenants, and so forth." 10/4/12 6:28AM Thus you have arrogantly opposed yourself and posting accomplices against the writers of covenants creeds and standards of Reformed history. =============== Frank wrote:
I think you are arguing with what I call roman/protestants. Rome said that if you don't believe our creeds are infallible then you are anathema; those who follow or rely on creeds today are saying the same thing, but just phrasing and spinning it differently. I see you think the Reformers, Puritans and Covenanters were a bunch of liars too???
Such arrogance is UNChristian to say the least. Putting yourself above the 16th century Christians you are declaring that; You can read the Bible - They can't.
Thus you also are implying God is incompetent and ineffectual in history. |

Quoted;"Ankerberg and Weldon wrote:
Remember that it was the KJV translators themselves who stated in their original preface that the very purpose of their translation was to provide God’s Word in a readable and understandable fashion. They recognized and accepted the translation work that had been done before them. So then how can anyone logically argue that they would object to modern translations being done today for the same purpose? "Logically" the problem is not translation into modern english, which in itself is unnecessary, - BUT the fact that the modern versions like Jim's NASB, have used bad english which is grammatically incorrect in places, - AND used the work of HERETICS such as the LIBERAL Anglican Bishops Westcott and Hort, - AND used Roman Catholic mms like the Vaticanus Text.Further modern versions have affected doctines in an adverse way; [URL=http://av1611.com/kjbp/articles/freeman-doctrines1.html]]]DOCTRINES AFFECTED[/URL] This is why the discerning Christian continues to use the Holy Spirit proven - Time proven - KING JAMES VERSION of the WORD OF GOD!!  Psa 68:11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it." |

The "reformed" loudly claim "the doctrines of grace" yet in examining their teachings they are quite deceptive as their teachings arn't really grace (salvation made available to all in Christ) but Total Arbitary PREDESTINATION. You never really did LEAVE the Roman Catholic church did you Michael.  
You need to pick some TULIP's Michael.John UK wrote:

[Wesley] Thats right John.... 
All this rejection of Scripture, vanity and arrogant belief's are pure unadulterated hyperArminianism.  If you want to read some REAL DOCTRINE IN HYMN form, then try the LORD'S HYMN BOOK - THE BOOK OF PSALMS. No wonder this Wesley guy was an Arminian - he was convinced of his own perfectionism.  |
