Yesterday, I received an email from one follower of AF
asking for examples of "Reformed folk" who hold to some form of
baptismal regeneration (i.e. that baptism is an efficacious means of grace).
His question was prompted by the following that I wrote back on 09-11-14:
It is important to keep in mind that those who embrace baptismal
regeneration (in one form or another—e.g. Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox
churches, Lutherans, many Anglicans, and some Reformed folk), adamantly
maintain that it is means of grace...(link

In my reply, I suggested
that he read the following online essays by Rich Lusk:
This morning, I realized
that I forgot to mention William B. Evans excellent article:
“Déjà Vu All Over Again?: The Contemporary Reformed Soteriological
Controversy in Historical Perspective,” Westminster Theological Journal
72.1 (2010): 135-151.
The essay is not available online, but back on
05-31-10, I provided some lengthy selections from it in THIS
THREAD.
In ending, I cannot help but believe that anyone
who takes the time to read the above four essays will come to the conclusion
that there are (and have been) "some Reformed folk" who embrace
baptismal regeneration in "one form or another".
Grace and peace,
