Welcome to TCANC.
This blog will be authored by contributors who have recognized the falsehood of what is today called New Calvinism, a modern movement that has ripped families apart and done much harm to the Church at large.
This effort is one that seeks the ultimate glory of God and the defense of the Gospel, and the faith, once delivered to the saints by way of the New Testament, the ultimate law of Christianity.
There is a new reformation occurring these days, a recovering of the Gospel that was once lost, and now it is found…..
….and it is a lie.
Our prayer, goal, and hope is to point you back to the written Word of God, the old path that God prescribed for His people.
There will be many changes ahead in the near future: logos, descriptions of purpose and so forth.
For now, welcome, and pray for us. This is a serious task, and we are serious about it.
Thus says the LORD: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ ~ Jeremiah 6:16

TCANC vs. T4G? Good!
I assume you will be writing about exactly *which gospel* the New Calvinists are “together” for in their pop text slogan: T4G. Since they are now circling their wagons in self-defense as much as trying to draw many into their movement offensively (by sheep-stealing through “cool” conferences, like cults do), while exposing their true colors through persecution of those who dissent on scriptural grounds, it is only just that a coalition be formed against them in defense of the true gospel to “mark them”. PPT’s 95 Theses was a solid public mark of solemn Protest against their New Theology. Dr. Peter Masters fired the first shot at them and many in the UK are forming a coalition against them too. But now it has been revealed and is increasingly clear that they are teaching “another gospel” suitable to the “merger of worldliness and Calvinism” that he had exposed previously. The chameleon movement has exposed its true colors and the Dragon can be seen in the now more obvious details. No less than the apostle Paul in Galations 1 calls for a holy “anathema” to be pronounced firmly upon any who do such even if they be angels from heaven or himself without respect of persons. John Calvin should be the first witness called against them to take the stand against their teaching which is contrary to his doctrine while they have hijacked his name.
It is time for those who denominate themselves as Reformed Baptists in particular to be awakened and separate from John Piper and company. But (as in Luther’s day) the “doctors”, despite their MDivs and scholastic training, are still blinded and think anyone who defends the “doctrines of grace” and quotes Spurgeon and Edwards is true to Biblical theology, part of a “new reformation” and therefore orthodox and given the right hand of fellowship. Unfortunately, you will not find Reformed Baptist seminaries doing what Gresham Machen did within the Presbyterian camp at Princeton Seminary. What is necessary is an awakening for the purpose of a similar Ecclesiastical Separation instead of bowing to these celebrity Balaams largely because they think Al Mohler or Michael Horton (seminary leaders) are in their camp! If the doctors in the seminaries and associations (Westminster San Diego, Institute of Reformed Baptist Studies, Reformed Baptist Seminary, ARBCA and Southern Seminary in particular) won’t see the problem in front of them then let Balaam’s ass rebuke them too with the voice of a man! “The fear of men brings a snare”. Those in high positions defend their own estates (the coalition is profitable to them) while the lowly and persecuted are less encumbered for truth-telling since they are already outside of the power circles. We have not heard even a peep from the Reformed Baptist professors (except in defense of Piper) because it is politically-incorrect (and inconvenient) for them to speak up despite public controversy for 5 years now since they are so entangled, enamored, and enslaved by the fear of men to the pretended celebrity leaders! Let them see, then, whether they will continue to associate and celebritize pastors and seminary leaders who teach “another gospel” instead of the gospel according to the apostle Paul.
What is dangerous is that Calvinistic doctrine will be made to look untrustworthy (with a divide already against Arminians) because of the T4G Coalition that has hijacked (and altered) it and made it a large “reformed” party (that is neither reformed nor Calvinistic in truth) themselves. “Let judgment begin with the household of God”. It therefore is necessary that true Calvinistic and scriptural doctrine be held up and distinguished and contrasted from what this phony “new reformation” movement pretends to be.
Here is hoping that specific charges will be brought up with solid evidence (as is being done in other blogs), for the skeptical, and persons named to “mark them” appropriately so that the sheep can be warned to flee from the ecumenical coalition of false shepherds dressed in “conservative” and “reformed” garments (which feed off the sheep like hirelings and make a lot of money while calling themselves “slaves” and servants). Since they are subtle and clever men in rhetoric they will need to be pinned down by their own words as keen-eyed and scrutinizing prosecutors before a naive and even biased jury.
But there is solid authority from the holy Bible to do just this without respecting persons:
Romans 16:17 — “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.”
— the apostle Paul
