1b. Reformed Baptist Distinctives: Baptistic

Now, why are we Baptistic?

The three Baptistic distinctives are, again, three C's.

Credo, stands for believer, I believe, that's believer's baptism.

Congregational, which is in terms of church government.

And Complementarian, okay, as opposed to Egalitarian.

So we don't believe that women can hold the office of pastor.

It doesn't mean that women are not equal to men.

Men and women are equal in God's sight.

It's just the role that office of pastor is not to be held by a woman.

The same way the role of mother is not to be held by a man, even though the

world is trying to change those distinctions and redefine what God has defined already.

All right, so.
