Come to think about it, Reformed Baptists are not the only ones who enjoy the ministry of Mark Dever and this includes people like RC Sproul.
Tom,

You seem to be missing the point. rolleyes2 The issue and topic under discussion is the "New Calvinism" and NOT Mark Dever. IF <--- Mark Dever is part of this new movement then whether he is one who embraces contemporary worship, wears Jesus t-shirts, is anti-Sabbatarian, etc., or not makes little difference as to the legitimacy of the criticisms many have launched against these views and practices, i.e., in essence reducing the Reformed Faith/Calvinism to nothing more than "The Five Points". IF he is more in-line with the historic confessions, e.g., the LBCF... all well and good in regard to him personally. But again, the criticisms are NOT focused upon one man but the movement and ALL those who are behind it.

Now, most Reformed Baptists I know are the most vehement in their criticism of this "New Calvinism". One of the most out-spoken and well known is, of course, Peter Masters. Just goes to show that one's personal "experience" is hardly a reliable source from which to make judgments. wink
