The Pentecostal Doctrine of Faith-Healing and James 5:14-20, part 1
The Pentecostal and charismatic movement generally claim that healing from sickness is guaranteed to everyone on earth, if he can simply work himself into enough faith. A variety of passages are alleged to prove this unbiblical assertion. James 5:14-15 is, however, perhaps the most plausible. Thus, Pentecostalism appeals to James 5:14-15 to prove that the […]
Judging People to Be Unsaved
The point of church discipline is restoration. It is. We want to reclaim a person who has turned away from the truth in some fashion. When someone has been disciplined from a church, should he be judged to be unsaved? Yes and No. Yes, in that Jesus said in Matthew 18, “let him be unto […]

Writing a Blog ‘Nat
I’ve been blogging since 2005, as you can see in my right hand column. The audience is bigger than ever for those wondering, thinking that it’s probably shrunk.

Reductio Ad Absurdum: Conservative Evangelicalism Meets the Doctrine of Separation
Evangelicals don’t preach or teach separation, even the conservative ones. You will not usually hear them ever talking about it, except when briefly mocking or disdaining fundamentalists. They normally act as though separation isn’t in Scripture, even though it is everywhere and also proceeds from the attribute of God’s holiness. Now and then, very rarely, […]
Why Would Rock Music Be Permissible But a Rock Concert Is Horrible?
What do you think of this paragraph? Is there anything more demonic, is there anything more ungodly, is there anything more raw, is there anything more lustful, is there anything more drunken than a rock concert?
