… key figure in the development of the PBs was John Ryland Sen., so I was interested to see what Peter Naylor made of him. Happily, Naylor does not call Ryland a Hyper because he taught the free and absolute gift of God to His own in the gospel and not a mere offer.

… major factor in the retention of a High Calvinist theology’ in the Baptist churches.
Peter Naylor, in his history of the Particular-cum-Strict Baptist churches entitled Picking Up a Pin For the Lord, equates Hyper-Calvinism with High-Calvinism which he defines, following Andrew Fuller, as being “more Calvinistic than Calvin himself”. Of this teaching he says:

Many of these Reformers were Calvinists before Calvin. They were also almost untouched by secular politics, believing in the separation of Parliament and Church. Many Puritans failed to keep up the freshness and first love of the …
… sensitivity and spiritual teaching, especially on faith. Truly such writers as Oliver, Daniel and Naylor could tear a page from Ascol’s work. Also those who stress with wearying monotony the non-invitation myth concerning Gill will find much food for thought here. This chapter is a gem.

… them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.”. Acts 2:38 is rendered, “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptised every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ FOR the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Furthermore, you will note that when people in the NT were asked about their baptism, it was not with a view to any declaration of faith, which they might or might not have had, but they were asked, “UNTO (eis) what …
