This was a helpful listen during my commute this morning. Although I disagree with the views held by both Abner Chou (Masters Seminary) and Costi Hinn, they provide much needed clarity concerning dispensational tradition, which includes their non-Reformed hermeneutic, as well as their rapture eschatology.
There is often much confusion concerning who is and who isn’t a part of the broad Reformed Tradition. Many of my Presbyterian and Reformed brethren might not allow myself, a confessional Baptist, to have a seat at their table. But I think that is a confusion on their part thinking the argument confessional Baptists are making sounds like this, “We are exactly like you.” But that was never the argument then (publishing of the 1st and 2nd London Baptist Confessions of Faith in 1644/1677/1689), or now. We are different, but not that different. If held to their own standards, many Presbyterian and Reformed brethren might also find themselves looking from the outside in while attempting to sit down with the Reformers. But that’s an argument for another time.
One thing I know is true. One can not be both dispensational and a part of the Reformed tradition.
