Omissions From the Gospel, Important to Consider: Follow-Up Three
At least two different gospels are advocated by independent Baptists who say that they fellowship around the gospel, that is, both unify on the gospel and separate over the gospel. In order to explore this topic further, use it as a teaching moment, we’re going to analyze a quote from Lou Martuneac in the comment […]
Omissions From the Gospel, Important to Consider: Follow-Up Two
Part One, Part Two I want to give this at least one more shot (but there may be more). It is a small series spawned by a bigger series assessing independent Baptists. Most of the discussion about unity and separation among Christians deals with what unifies and what separates. Scripture teaches unity and separation. Both […]
2014-15 Bethel Christmas Program
Here are our kids for the 2014-15 school year Christmas program, 1st through 12th grade. Two of my daughters are in the picture, one at the piano, and the other, the third, took the picture.
Do Animals Have Souls and Spirits?
Have you ever heard someone say, “The difference between man and the animals is that man has a soul,” and then quote Genesis 2:7? The idea that the word soul, the Hebrew nephesh or the Greek psueche, or the spirit, the Hebrew ruach or Greek pneuma, is what distinguishes man from the animals is […]
Omissions From the Gospel, Important to Consider: Follow-Up
It looks like two different gospels (or more), what some might justify is two different versions or editions of the gospel, is mostly fine with independent Baptists and fundamentalists. I see most as really picky about the Bible version, pant/skirt, and music issue, but fairly come-what-may, kesara sara about the gospel, at the same time […]
Omissions From the Gospel, Important to Consider
I’m taking a short break from my series assessing independent Baptists, but this is still related to part four. I wish more interest would spread about the subject of that part in the series. Men are justified by faith in Jesus Christ. Men must believe in Jesus Christ to be saved. This is different than […]
An Honest Basic Assessment of Independent Baptists, pt. 5
Pt. 1, Pt. 2, Pt. 3, Pt. 4 The most important question someone has to answer in an assessment of himself, his family, or his church is whether the belief or practice is scriptural. I’ve been offering my assessment of independent Baptists on those terms, not because I want folks to leave independent Baptist churches […]
Hannah W. Smith’s Higher Life Corruption of Conversion: part 15 of 21 in Hannah W. Smith: Keswick Founder, Higher Life Preacher, Quaker Quietist and Universalist Heretic

An Honest Basic Assessment of Independent Baptists, pt. 4
The labels or designations for churches could be reduced to something like “the church,” and that would exclude almost no one. “The Church of Christ” denomination makes a big deal about the name, as if not having the right name alone disqualifies a church. If you know Baptist history, you know that “Baptist” isn’t a […]
