Faith the Only Reliable Epistemology: It’s Got to Be Faith, pt. 2
Part One My sins are forgiven, continue to be forgiven, and will be forgiven through all eternity. I know that by faith. Nothing is more important to me or anyone else than this forgiveness. Knowing it is vital. I can’t see the forgiveness I possess, but faith is superior to sight (2 Cor 5:7). If […]
Faith the Only Reliable Epistemology: It’s Got to Be Faith
People can talk about justification by faith or being saved by faith, and that is good. It’s biblical. We are justified by faith, we are saved by faith. That’s right. Faith, however, is even much bigger than that. Faith doesn’t sit next to religion about as trustworthy as personal taste. Faith isn’t conventional wisdom. Faith […]
Keswick’s Mere Counteraction Doctrine: in Keswick’s Errors–an Analysis and Critique of So Great Salvation by Stephen Barabas, part 11 of 17
Note: In a previous post, I mentioned that my debate with Dan Barker of the Freedom from Religion Foundation on the topic “The Old Testament Is Mainly Fiction, Not Fact,” was now available on YouTube. The web address for the debate has changed, because we fixed some typos in the previous video. If you want […]
How Does a Gathering of People Obtain Church Authority?
Churches have authority. This is seen through the whole New Testament, but for the sake of this post, I’m assuming that point. How do the churches get that authority? This is a theme brushed over in the latest series, yet unfinished, reviewing Kevin Bauder’s chapter on Landmarkism (pts. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).Yesterday I […]
Personal Thinking About Calvinism
Sometimes someone will ask me about Calvinism. I would say, none in 29 years in door to door evangelism or any other form of evangelism, except that it is one. One person. It was three to six months ago. I rang a doorbell, a man came to the door, and after I introduced myself to […]
The Testimony of the Quran to the Bible in Arabic
If you do not already have the pamphlet The Testimony of the Quran to the Bible available for members of your church, I would commend it to you as an effective resource designed to tear down the spiritual strongholds Muslims have from turning to Jesus Christ. Today, the vast majority of Muslim apologists argue that […]
An Analysis and Review of Kevin Bauder’s “Landmarkism”, pt. 6
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five Kevin Bauder begins the next section, entitled, “Alien Immersion and Rebaptism,” with the sentence, “Landmark Baptists insist that a proper administrator is essential for valid baptism.” He sets up a strawman by saying that proper administrator means “the succession of baptisms […]
An Analysis and Review of Kevin Bauder’s “Landmarkism”, pt. 5
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Certain Baptists, many of them, in the 19th century began accepting non-Baptist baptism and interdenominational sharing of pulpits. These changes from the norm became rampant. Others, however, repudiated these practices as unbiblical. They understood that Baptists through the centuries had suffered over such doctrine […]
Keswick’s Misrepresentation of Orthodox Sanctification: in Keswick’s Errors–an Analysis and Critique of So Great Salvation by Stephen Barabas, part 10 of 17
Note: The tour of Israel in early January that I discussed here, and on which my wife and I are set to go, Lord willing (click here for more information), is now open not just for one person in pastoral leadership or a related position per church, but is now open to deacons or (a […]
Repudiating the Fake Playboy Manhood, Partly of Trump
Some reading here might ask, “Why now? Why not before the election?” I’ve already explained that in previous posts, so I’m not going to belabor here, but I’m also saying “partly of Trump.” I wouldn’t put Trump’s picture next to “fake playboy manhood” in the dictionary. However, we live in a culture, whether left or […]
