And if you what the accelerator package, you can get it for only $9.95/month (Juno charges $14.95). Plus, there’s no bulky software to download (unlike Juno), and you can use POP with Outlook or Outlook Express, and still store all your emails on your computer. I just have my network settings pointed to the Basic ISP access number, and I can surf the web without a bulky program open which AOL or Juno would force me to use. If your budget keeps you to dial-up internet, give Basic ISP a try.
Hello Mr. Hayton-
Just a note to thank you for mentioning The Graham Formula on your website.
God bless you.
Patrick McIntyre
Mr. McIntyre,
Thank you for taking the time to write it and for spreading the important message it contains.
For my readers, Patrick is referring to this post where I recommend his book The Graham Formula, which deals with the problem of equating salvation with praying the sinner’s prayer. Which problem I address in the following posts: “Charles Finney and the Altar Call”; “Why Pray the ‘Sinner’s Prayer’?”; and “Once Saved, Always Saved?!?!”.
Iam pastoring Free Grace Baptist Church P.O.Box 39875-00623 Nairobi Kenya and I would like to request you for partnership in prayers and in ministry.Please let me hear from you.
Pastor James,
I do pray God will bless your church there in Nairobi. My parents are missionaries in Livingstone, Zambia. They have been there for 10+ years now.
God bless you richly in Christ Jesus,
Bob Hayton
Hello Mr. Hayton-
As a way of thanking you for mentioning The Graham Formula on your website, I’d like to send you 10 books for free. If you provide a mailing address, I’ll send them right out.
God bless you.
Patrick McIntyre
Thank you sir!
In the near future I will review your book and offer to “share the wealth” by giving away some of those freebies.
God bless,
Bob
Please consider my weekly column in your links. I write for a small local newspaper and the publisher has given me full freedom. My column is to promote doctrine. It is called Mountain Monergism. I am very reform, very Baptist and very much want to join you and others as we go forward in reforming fundamentalism as it once was.
Thanks for your time..
Jim
Jim,
I will definitely give your column a look. Glad to know of others trying to make a difference.
Blessings in Christ to you,
Bob Hayton
I thought this new website may interest you enough to place it on your links page
http://www.baptistbecause.com
Gene,
I looked at that site briefly, and I would have to not recommend it. It looks like Landmarkism, the belief that only Baptist churches which can trace their lineage back to Christ are legitimate. I stand with great Baptists of the past like William Kiffin of London, who felt that churches ultimately take their authority from God’s Word and His Commands, not a linear human line of authority. I also sympathize with great Baptists like John Bunyan who felt that non-Baptists were fellow Christians worthy of welcoming to our Lord’s Supper tables, and even into church membership.
I am Baptist, and Baptists are great. But Baptists don’t have a corner on the old time religion. We need to be careful to affirm other Biblical churches as fellow Christians and fellow members of Christ’s bride.
Blessings in Christ,
Bob Hayton
i appreciate your site man… to God be the glory
You were never a true fundamentalis. 1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. If you truly embrass to Word of God and Jesus as your Saviour you would want nothing else. Unless you desire to consume it upon your own lust.
Amen Brother it about time somebody with a spine logged in on the sorry excuse for a christian site.
They wont leave the post up very long. They do not desire the truth theywould rather have their lascivious life style. Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hi guys (DLM, Pastor sm, and Reggie),
How nice of you all to gang-tackle me!
One of you (I’m guessing) left a post that I did delete. Here’s why, I thought it was a random potshot comment. There was nothing constructive about it at all.
Since you three are together in this, I’ll leave your comments up. In fact I rarely delete comments. If you search the archives you can find plenty of debates and people voicing opposite opinions.
Now your 3 comments are not very winsome. You are not trying to convince me of my error, and you are not employing the non-quarrelsome, patient tactics that 2 Tim. 2:24-26 would ask you to. Also, you are not treating me as a sinful brother, which is how we are to treat those who are disobedient and get thrust out from us, or leave — see 2 Thess. 3:14-15. There was no first and second admonition, before you have rejected me — Titus 3:10. Furthermore, there is no broken-hearted spirit over the error of my ways, the kind of sadness that Paul displays in Phil. 3:18.
Rather than trying to be like Aquila and Priscilla and “[explain] to [me] the way of God more accurately” (Acts 18:26), you rather are against me, because I am not “following you” (Mark 9:38-40). You also do not rejoice that I through my blog am preaching Christ, even if I am doing so contentiously, in your opinion — yet Paul would have you rejoice (Phil. 1:15-17).
Rather than rejoicing in what you can find that is good, you are rejoicing in evil. You are revelling and gloating over my fall.
This attitude you display is patently unChristian. You won’t find this attitude in the NT. I am no rank heretic, denying the deity of Christ or adding circumcision to the Gospel. Such harshness of tone does not become you.
By all means, disagree with me. I’d welcome you to interact with my actual claims and arguments. And for you to bring forth Biblical reasons as to why I am wrong. I honestly desire to obey God and hold to everything He wants me to hold to. I do fear tradition for tradition’s sake, and am aware that the traditions of men are sometimes put in a higher position than God’s words. I understand this can happen on whatever side of the fence you are on.
I implore you to wake up to the cynicism, pride and ill-spirit which appears to be evident in your comments here.
I do pray God blesses you richly through Jesus, even if you never come to agree with me on any issue other than the Gospel.
I encourage you to check out this post about the Gospel being big enough and important enough to unify around.
In Christ,
Bob Hayton
[...] comment. Since this exchange is so interesting, let me share their comments (with no editing) here: DLM — You were never a true fundamentalis. 1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not [...]
Bob,
Your answer to the above 3 comments was well thought out and Biblical. Honestly I enjoyed reading it. I have often wondered about the passage where Paul speaks of rejoicing over the Gospel being preached by those who defame and despise him. I find in your post possibly for the first time an understanding of that passage that answers my ponderings. As for your blog, I probably don’t see eye to eye on all of your conclusions, but I appreciate that you have thought it all out for yourself. A well thought out conclusion will win in every debate. A while back through, the kindness of your answer you convinced me of the theological correctness of a balanced view of Calvinism. If you had slammed me in my ignorant disagreement, I would have rejected your view. Just the same I enjoy your blog from time to time, and find it thoughtful and insightful.
Joshua
Thanks for the encouragement Joshua. Don’t think its easy for me to respond always in such an even-headed manner! Sometimes I get ticked about some of the comments I receive, other times I’m frustrated or despairing. I’m thankful I took the time to respond, as it blessed you.
I remember our exchange on Calvinism. Thanks again for encouraging me to keep trying to patiently persuade.
I appreciate your interaction over here. I don’t always agree with myself on everything
. Feel free to participate, and ask questions or contradict me on some point. Truth is a community project as we all sharpen each other as we aim to understand and appreciate God’s Truth better.
Blessings to you in Christ,
Bob
Hi Bob–I’m not sure if this is appropriate or where exactly this would fit in if it is appropriate, but this link to Piper’s blog regarding The Ultimate Meaning of True Womanhood is such a huge blessing that I am hoping all of my “blogging friends” will encourage all women who profess Christ to read it. What Dr. Piper spoke about regarding womanhood, I believe, hits on every major issue that today’s women face. More importantly, I believe it direclty speaks to what the bible says about women’s roles where much useless controversy has sprung in circles that are so-called, Christian.

Thanks, Bob. If you feel this isn’t appropriate, please delete it.
K.
No problem. Thanks for pointing out the link. I’ll have to listen to the message sometime and I may highlight it around here sometime.
