Old Adam,

I look forward to listening! From your blog, I downloaded pastor Mark’s lecture entitled “Re-baptism,” where he explained the anabaptist view of faith and compared it with the Lutheran position. I look forward to seeing how these messages add to the comparison.

As it seems to me (as the Pastor pointed out in the re-baptism lecture), the radical anabaptists were insistent upon making faith a “commitment of the will,” that was based upon a subjective epistemology. In other words, they knew that they were saved because they “felt saved” after they “made a faith committment.” This is in clear distinction to a pure passive (aka- Luther’s view).

Anyways, thanks for this. I look forward to listening.

Sincerely,

Jared
