Doug Wilson Interviews Mark Driscoll
I came across a real interesting video where Pastor Douglas Wilson interviewed Pastor Mark Driscoll on several topics. This is gold.

Beggars All: Reformation And Apologetics: He Used to be a Christan...
James Swan has posted really good article about how the United Reformed Churches of North America deals with apostates. I agree with him when he wrote:
I think it's important to recognize that from a Biblical perspective we have only these possibilities to explain apostasy and hypocrisy. If the Bible is wrong then how do we know it's right about everything else? We don't and therefore everything is suspect. My own personal experience in talking to and watching apostates is that if they never repent and return to being committed to Christ, they were never really committed in the first place and was only going through the motions and doing it so well that they were deceived themselves and deceived others - but not God. I also like what James White had to say on this subject.

Are they non-believers, and always were? Even now, I don't know if they're in a deep period of rebellion against the faith, or are simply examples of seeds that fell on rocky soil.
