The Arminian describes election as "God votes for you; the devil votes against you, and you must cast the deciding vote". The problem with this, as has well been pointed out, is that when election took place, man was too young to vote (not being born yet), the devil wasn't a registered voter, and so election was wholly of God!

What's in a name? In the case of Sovereign Grace Fellowship a great deal! A brief explanation of "Reformed Baptist" is, perhaps, the best way to introduce us. In the first place Reformed Baptist identifies us as holding that system of doctrine which was proclaimed at the time of the Reformation and has been upheld by the Reformed tradition of teaching since that time. It also says that we hold that system as Baptists. This word unashamedly identifies us with the scriptural position that baptism and church membership should only be bestowed on those who make a credible profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe it is not only possible, but necessary for sound doctrine to be both Reformed and Baptist. Neither is this something new, but a return to the historic position of Baptists such as John Bunyan, John Gill, Charles H. Spurgeon and a host of others who have impacted the history of the Christian church.
We believe God's Word (the Holy Bible) is the only authority for both faith (what we believe) and practice (what we do), and that it is only by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ that men and women can be saved.
It is our sincere desire to be obedient to all of God's Word and to share that faith with others.
We invite you to worship with us!
