Cult-Like Tendency in Modern Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism, part two
The faith was once and for all delivered. Some will depart from the faith, not all. The gates of Hell will not prevail. Certain doctrine could be better explained or better defended, but at this point, it shouldn’t be new. Cults are characterized by having the new teaching, you know, like Jesus came to […]
Thoughts on “People of God: The Church” by Kevin Bauder
I am taking a break for one week from my series on the Reformers and whether or not they were heretics to illustrate a point from a previous series I had posted. Some time ago, I did a series on the historic Baptist doctrine of Spirit baptism. In that series, I included an extensive exposition […]
What’s Worse? This Kind of Bad or That Kind of Bad, pt. 2
California might have been foreclosure headquarters in the mortgage crisis, at least the region where the prices dropped the steepest at its most severe.

Serious
Recently at another site, someone wrote this comment in response to a recent post of mine here that dealt with modesty. Let’s not discuss something as important as modesty with people as unserious as Kent Brandenburg. So it does make one think. Who is serious? Seriously. We could make “serious” mean almost anything we want […]
Cult-Like Tendency in Modern Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism, part one
One common feature of cults, a major one, is a belief in a total apostasy. They justify their existence with the fiction that they represent the original, divine teaching, when the truth is that they’ve invented new doctrine not found in Scripture. If it’s new, it really isn’t true. Paul said that some would depart […]
