I found Everhard when he was a Bible reviewer. What a time to be alive.

Zoomer. I'm a confessional Lutheran who has seen a lot of your videos. I have also read most of the reformed confessions, both 16th century and 17th century. To address a question that you asked in the there was a shift in reformed theology between the 16th and 17th century. The 16th century confessions are much closer to the Lutheran view regarding baptism. What changed later in reformed theology was the Arminian controversy within reformed churches which resulted in the synod of Dort. The canons of dort shifted the reformed focus from the sacraments to a focus on the relationship between predestination and the human will. This change in focus was most likely grandfathered into the Westminster confession which was written much later in the 17th century. Because of your love for the sixteenth-century reformed confessions your views on the sacraments are much closer to the Lutheran view than they are to the reformed view and the confusion in the "soft debate" that you had with pastor Everhard reflects this difference. Great video!

I really enjoyed this.
There were tense moments, but I think those show the areas most needing inter-group discussion in contemporary conservative confessionalism.

This is a collab I never saw coming!! I stumbled upon Matt Everhard a few months ago, and he's one of those underrated gems that always delivers. Excited to see this.

From a Reformed Baptist considering Presbyterianism.

When I was member of the OPC, we had one Elder who liked to just read portions of John 6 before we received the Supper. The other elders would only read 1 Corinthians 11 and would emphasize the symbolism, but this one Elder would never do that. Just read Christ's words in John 6 and then administered the Supper. It was lovely!

Wow, been subbed to you both for a while! This is definitely the crossover I needed

Reformed baptist, wife and i are 1689 Federalist but currently members of the PCA out of necessity due to location.
Love the PCA and can’t wait to watch this interview!!!

Matt brings a certain wisdom as a pastor.
Pastor’s have to answer questions in a way that is balanced. A answer that both encourage and solidifies believers faith.

[Exhihilbro]

Discovered both of you guys recently. Stoked!

When I saw who was being interviewed, I thought, "Are they going to argue about baptism?"

The way I see it, Zwingli is an inescapable part of the Reformed tradition, so this point will always be a matter of dispute. Reformed Christians can hold a range of beliefs from Knox to Zwingli without losing their Reformed identity. (Maybe they shouldn't call themselves Presbyterians if they disagree with Knox, but they are still very much within the Reformed tent.)

This seemed like a breath of fresh air to have Presbyterians of different denominations discuss topics and Confessions, and both being charitable to each other. Regarding the suspicion that the PCA’s stance of the sacraments is mainly ceremonial, it appears that WCF 24.7 states that when worthy receivers partake of the elements, they receive them spiritually, consistent with their faith, which defies a solely symbolic partaking).

Your intro took the intro words out of Matt's mouth 😂

This was the cross over I've been waiting for

[HistoryNerd]

Can we take a moment to appreciate and savor that two men who disagree on some points that are non trivial can do so without resorting to name calling, screaming, or other folks tend to do...

[falsouth]

This is a great collaboration video. I enjoy both of your channels.

I’m a Nondenominational Charismatic and am glad to hear about the state of the Presbyterian denominations and there theology.

[paulbriggsy]

Pastor Matthew is a gracious, thoughtful and patient theologian who has little time for overly-complex semantic interpretations and intellectually-inspired theological obsessions. His channel is well worth subscribing to.

[mcocknoxy]

Loved Zoomer pressing Pastor Matt for clarity on Lord's Supper. Also appreciated Matt's careful responses. Itv appears that have different convictions regarding the importance of the phrase "receive the body & blood"...but were too polite to come out and say it.

[ExNihiloComesNothing]

I just subbed to Pastor Matt a few hours ago, then Lo and Behold!

I think it’d be cool for you to do a musical analysis of contemporary vs older worship music
