“Revivalism affected (and infected) everyone: evangelicals, fundamentalists, Pentecostals, and others. Plenty of fundamentalists, however, did not, and do not, accept revivalism. Nor should Calvinism be seen as the panacea to every problem revivalism produces.” - David de Bruyn
“Does your blood pressure go up when you see ads for the hit series, The Chosen? Do you have strong urges to tear up copies of the Westminster Confession?

“The fact is that most of the early American Baptists were Calvinists.That’s the second lesson we can learn from William Buell Sprague’s Annals of the American Baptist Pulpit, a follow-up piece to my earlier article on Baptists and Preaching.” - 9 Marks
