Question
In other words, are Baptists aware of God's plan for the ages of time?

Mistranslation of the Greek word "aion" is a master stroke of diabolical genius. Perhaps no other word erroneously translated, could more effectively pervert man’s image of God and cause such widespread confusion in the church. Because the understanding of the eons and Gods purpose in them has been lost, the church is divided on such important teachings as man's destiny, grace, election, salvation, security of the believer, judgment and other issues. The following work by Joseph E. Kirk is offered in the hope that the serious seeker after scriptural truth will be aided in his quest.

Answer
Rodger,

What you are asking is, are Baptists aware of your (and Kirk's) interpretation of history and time? And considering that there are over 200 million Baptist worldwide, I think it is fair to say that a few may be aware of Kirk's work, but most certainly are not familiar with it.
