One argument was that one would have to give up on infant baptism as well as inerrancy since both are "by good and necessary consequence deduced from Scripture" rather than directly taught. As an Anabaptist I felt I liked McGowen already! It seems to me that "necessary deductions" are much more subjective than many of the Reformed would like to admit. I will not admit errors in the sense that I believe every word in scripture is willed and spoken by the good God. But I do not think he purposed to provide data for our scientific or historiographic projects. Hi Ivan,

Creationism has become a test of orthodoxy among conservative evangelicals, along with anti-women elders and inerrancy. On this last topic, I rejoiced to read McGowen's book The Spiration of Scripture. I agree with you.
