1/x. R. Scott Clark quotes me in this article as saying that some Baptists are functionally anabaptist. This is true, but it also should be pointed out that most Presbyterians in the US are as well. Confessional Protestantism is a minority. https://heidelblog.net/2020/12/understanding-the-new-calvinists-neither-new-nor-calvinists/

2/x. One issue Clark zeros in on in the 16th C. is that some anabaptists claimed to receive ongoing revelations fr the HS. The Reformers rightly rejected this & confessed Scrip. as the proper source of special rev. today. The YRR movement certainly was not clear enough on this.

3/x. However, in our day the group most susceptible to this idea of ongoing revelation through experience is not anabaptists or Baptists or the YRR, but liberal Protestantism. The PCUSA, which is the largest Presbyterian denomination in the US, is a prime example.

4/x. The PCUSA accepts that people today have received private revelation (experience) to the effect that God has changed his mind on homosexuality & now it is OK if you really want to do it. Now that is a much more blatant rejection of sola Scriptura than anything in the YRR.

5/x. In fact it is much more blatant than anything we see in many Pentecostal churches that believe in prophecy!

The point is that we need to be confessional Protestants & have an operational doc. of sola Scriptura, not just have a confession on the books in a technical sense.

6/x. It isn't just calling yourself "Reformed" or even having a proper confession on paper that matters. What is crucial is having a living confession that we preach, teach & use for church discipline. And that applies to the PCA, the SBC & everyone else.

7/x. If you are not part of a confessional Protestant church get yourself into one. But don't go to sleep; the battle is on & we all need to understand that faithfulness requires vigilance & prayer.
