Old School Baptists believe, love and mightily declare the true Gospel of Jesus Christ with accurate notions of God and Man, Heaven and Hell, Life and Death, Righteousness and Sin, Freedom and Slavery. In fact, Old School Baptists read the Bible differently from the masses: Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. Psalm 119:104. In order to gain understanding, one must without exception learn through precepts. Precepts are doctrines, principles, rules, commands, orders; and any other way of learning the Bible is a false. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Isaiah 28:10 Reading the Bible straight through will give you the story but not true understanding. So therefore... I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. Psalm 119:100. If you do not thoroughly understand, heartily believe and genuinely love the 5 points of Calvinism, you know nothing about the truth of God and nothing about the Gospel. You have never taken forth the precious from the vile. You have never put a difference between the clean and the unclean. You have never distinguished between the Holy and the profane. There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, ... they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; ...Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken. Ezekiel 22:25-28 You have never come out from among these lying concepts and these lying doctrines of devils. God has never received you, has never become a Father unto you and you have never become his son or his daughter. You are not a born-again Christian of the bible sort and are uninformed of the true nature and attributes of God the Father nor of Jesus Christ. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:3,4. You have no eternal life and dwell in the state of darkness, ignorance, sin and religious superstition. Your name is not written in the Book of Life and Jesus Christ did not die for you and 10,000 lying apostate preachers telling you differently, will not change this solemn immutable fact. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; I Timothy 4:1-2. To the remnant, this is good news: the Gospel. The truth of God versus the lie of the devil; Calvinism versus Arminianism; and to the reprobate, the gnashing of teeth. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. II Thessalonians 2:11-12. And to all these apostate preachers...Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23. God preordained his elect without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation and the reprobate, just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation. Old School Baptist preachers have no good news for the reprobate, never have and never will. If you truly love and heartily believe the Gospel, then you are the elect. If not, you are the damned, doomed for an eternity of hell set forth by the Almighty Lord God of Israel from eternity past. This message is not a mere dispute about a minor point of doctrine but about vital Christianity. The truth of God. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 23:2
