What is the GRPL?

Great Reformed Ping List.

A "ping list" for Calvinist Presbyterians, Old School Baptists, and the occasional Reformed Episcopalian and Missouri-Synod Lutheran. Basically, anyone who held to the core doctrines of the Reformation (Scripture alone, Faith alone, and Absolute Predestination being the three main theological distinctives of the Protestant Reformation... [there are actually five "Solas" of the Protestant Reformation; but the Eastern Orthodox, at least, don't really object to our doctrines of "Solus Christus" or "Soli Deo Gloria", so we tend to focus on our most distinctively Protestant traits ]).

A while back, a bunch of the GRPL were banned for various reasons, and I took a year off from Free Republic.

thank you, Mr. OP, for the explanation I was wondering what a grpl was. I thought it was spelled wrong. shows how little I know.

this is an interesting thread. I believe God enjoys a variety of our worship as long as we are well intended.

Thanks for the reply. I actually fit two of your categories. I was raised an Episcopalian and converted to Baptist when I was Saved.

The predestination though is something I'm looking at now in my Bible reading. I'm more in the "Five Solas" camp.
