2.  Quote Scripture out of context to promote personal goals.  For example, Phil. 4:13.  That does NOT mean that you can fly because Christ strengthens you.  Try it.  Ok, don&#8217;t try it.  Just throw an [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cogitatetheology.wordpress.com&blog=3889160&post=49&subd=cogitatetheology&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I’m going to try to explain the Biblical basis for baptizing infants.  For a much more thorough and clearer evaluation of paedobaptism I highly recommend The Case for Covenantal Infant Baptism.  The first chapter by Bryan Chapell is excellent.  Here we go. 
It must be admitted that there is no clear command to baptize infants anywhere [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cogitatetheology.wordpress.com&blog=3889160&post=46&subd=cogitatetheology&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

On a more personal note,
Two months ago I received a call from my sister who informed me that she was filing for divorce from her husband of 5 years, with whom she has two kids (3 years and 8 months).  She told me that she didn&#8217;t love him like a wife should love her husband.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cogitatetheology.wordpress.com&blog=3889160&post=31&subd=cogitatetheology&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Is Reformed Theology inherently opposed to evangelism because of the doctrine of unconditional election?  JP, over at JP’s Mind, had an intriguing post (Reformed Doctrine and Evangelism) where he asks this very question.  The argument generally goes something like this:
Calvinism teaches unconditional election, whereby God has predestined those who will come to faith in Him.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cogitatetheology.wordpress.com&blog=3889160&post=27&subd=cogitatetheology&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The words made famous by Mel Gibson in Braveheart.  It really is an interesting question and begs that we ask, ‘What is true freedom?’
Is freedom being able to do what we want when we want to do it?  If you live in the United States you are ‘free’ right?  However, laws still govern your actions.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cogitatetheology.wordpress.com&blog=3889160&post=24&subd=cogitatetheology&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The presence of Christ, in relation to the Lord&#8217;s Supper, continues to be a heated debate amongst theologians, and rightly so, because the covenant of grace, as seen in 1 Corinthians 11:23-25, in part, is administered through the administration of the sacrament of the Lord&#8217;s supper.  It is therefore crucial to understand the degree to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cogitatetheology.wordpress.com&blog=3889160&post=11&subd=cogitatetheology&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
